Abstract

PURPOSE:To restore an audio signal to a substantial dynamic range at a receiver side, by using a data corresponding to an amount of compression, when the audio signal is compressed in a broadcast station as a multiplex data signal. CONSTITUTION:After L, R signals are compressed at a limiting amplifier consisting of variable attenuators 1, 1', and level detectors 2, 2', the signals are inputted to a stereo modulator 4 to be a stereo composite signal. A compression control voltage being an output signal of the detectors 2, 2' is coded at A/D converters 3, 3' and synthesized into a signal code train at a multiplexer 5. The output of a multiplex subcarrier wave oscillator 6 is modulated with this code train, and the modulated output and a stereo composite signal from the modulator 4 are synthesized at an adder 8. The output signal of the adder 8 is used, the carrier wave is modulated at an FM modulator 9 to obtain an FM signal where the stereo signal and data signal are multiplexed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an FM
This relates to a data multiplex broadcasting method and aims to improve the quality of reproduced sound on a receiver.

In general, FM broadcasting requires the frequency characteristics of the reproduced signal, the S/N ratio,
Although it has excellent distortion rates and is suitable as a high-quality music broadcasting method, it cannot necessarily be said to be faithful to the original sound.

The biggest factor that negatively affects fidelity is the limiting amplifier used at broadcast stations. As is well known, in order to improve the audible S/N ratio of the reproduced signal, the higher the degree of modulation during transmission, the better; however, due to the regulations regarding the occupied bandwidth of broadcast waves, in FM broadcasting, 100% tone 75KH. limited within the deviation. For this reason, in order to increase the average modulation degree, broadcasting stations use limiting amplifiers to compress the dynamic range of audio signals before modulation. FIG. 1 shows an example of the input/output characteristics of this limiting amplifier. As a result, in the case of FIG. 1, a level ratio of 20 dB from -20 dB to odB in the input signal is compressed to a level ratio of sdB in the output signal. The compression by this limiting amplifier is not instantaneous waveform compression, but syllable compression according to the average value of the input signal, so there is no deterioration in frequency characteristics or distortion rate.

By the way, the band of the stereo i-combined signal in FM stereo broadcasting is 0 to 53 kHz, but it is possible to set a subcarrier at a higher frequency than this and use this to multiplex binary data signals for broadcast. Studies are underway on FM data multiplex broadcasting.

A modulator 7 modulates the output of the data multiplexing subcarrier oscillator 6 using this code string (for example, a suppressed carrier DSB), and an adder 8 combines this output with the stereo composite signal from the stereo modulator 4. Finally, a carrier wave is modulated by an FM modulator 9 using the output signal of the adder 8 to obtain an FM signal in which a stereo signal and a data signal are multiplexed.

Stretch the signal to its original dynamic range. As this expansion method, instead of using a variable amplifier using analog voltage,
FIG. 5 shows an example of a configuration in which the degree of amplification is made variable digitally. Based on the L signal expansion data that is one output of the demultiplexer 16, the analog switch circuit 21 selects one or a combination of input resistors of the operational amplifier 22 from among the input resistors 23. Since the amplification degree of the amplification circuit using the operational amplifier 22 is determined by the ratio of the input resistance and the feedback resistance (resistance 24 in the figure), the above-described configuration can realize the digital variable amplifier 2o without the intervention of an analog voltage. Note that the same applies to the R signal. By the way, 1 4 , 15 in Fig. 4,
16, 16', 17, 17' or 14.15, 20.20' in FIG. 6 can be configured as an independent adapter and used in combination with a conventional FM receiver. In FIG. 6, 26 is an FM receiver, and 26 is an adapter.
