Abstract:
In a method for transmitting a data stream in a digital transmission system, the data stream is transmitted in a transmitted signal using successive OFDM symbols; a number of OFDM symbols are combined in a transmission frame; a number of transmission frames are transmitted in one transmission superframe; each transmission superframe has an information block having one or more OFDM symbols in an established position of the transmission superframe; a first transmitted signal having a first data stream in a first carrier frequency range and a second transmitted signal having a second data stream having the same information content as the first data stream are transmitted in a second carrier frequency range; and the time duration of the transmission superframes of the first transmitted signal is an integer multiple of the time duration of the transmission superframes of the second transmitted signal.
Abstract:
An AM simulcast broadcast signal combining a digital transmission signal and an analogue transmission signal in one transmission channel. The digital transmission signal is modulated to one sideband of a carrier of the transmission channel and a correcting signal (C) is modulated to the other sideband of the carrier of the transmission channel, which correcting signal (C) is determined so that the envelope demodulation of the transmission channel represents the analogue transmission signal.
Abstract:
A method for detecting the digital quality of a radio signal includes: receiving a radio signal including an analog modulated portion; digitally sampling an analog modulated portion of the radio signal to produce a plurality of samples; using a ratio between an average magnitude and an RMS magnitude of a block of the samples to compute an analog signal quality metric. Receivers that implement the method are also provided.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic device comprising a headset connector adapted to connect a headset to the electronic device and an active amplifier circuit connected to the headset connector. The active amplifier circuit is adapted to amplify radio signals received by an antenna, which is connected to the electronic device via the headset connector. The invention relates equally to a chip comprising such an active amplifier circuit, to a system comprising the electronic device and to a corresponding method for receiving radio signals at such an electronic device.
Abstract:
A receiver and a method for receiving a digital signal and an analogue signal is described, whereby both signals transmit the same audio program. In dependence of the reception situation, the receiver switches or slides from said digital signal to said analogue signal and back. Each time the receiver switches between the digital signal, which has an audio bandwidth of about 12 kHz, and the analogue signal, which has an audio bandwidth of only 4.5 kHz, the sound of the received audio output signal changes from a rich sound to a rather flat sound, or vice versa. To avoid this, the audio bandwidth of the digital signal is reduced in dependence of the reception situation. In case of frequent occurrence of switching, or in case of a bad reception of the digital signal, the bandwidth of the digital signal is reduced.
Abstract:
A system for peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) reduction of a frequency shifted plurality of digital broadcast signals taking into account the combined signal peaks in order to transmit the signals more efficiently in a single broadcast transmission system. The PAPR algorithm takes into account a rotating constellation phase offset for the shifted signals corresponding to the amount of applied frequency shift. In the case of a dual sideband In-Band-On-Channel (IBOC) signal typically used in conjunction with an FM carrier in the center, the sidebands can be interleaved to create a new IBOC signal definition and take the place of the FM carrier for an all-digital transmission that is backward compatible with IBOC receivers allowing for a gradual migration to all digital broadcasting.

Abstract:
A method for direct sampling of a plurality of radio bands, including a step of receiving a first radio band via a first interface and at least one additional radio band via at least one additional interface, the first radio band and the at least one additional radio band each being associated with different frequency ranges, and the first radio band or the at least one additional radio band being a DAB band. Furthermore, a selection signal is received via an interface, the selection signal indicating whether further processing of the first radio band and/or the at least one additional radio band takes place. Depending on the selection signal, the first radio band is sampled at a common sampling frequency and/or the at least one additional radio band is sampled at the common sampling frequency.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a radio broadcasting method for a first multicarrier digital signal occupying a first frequency band adjacent to at least one second frequency band, each assigned to a second signal. Pre-filtering is applied to the said first signal before its emission so as to attenuate the power of the said first signal in at least a first portion of the said first frequency band, adjacent to the said second frequency band(s).
