Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a noise level of an FM detection circuit output constant independently of an output level of an intermediate frequency amplifier by applying muting depending on the level of a high frequency noise component. CONSTITUTION:The high frequency noise component from an FM detection circuit output signal is detected by a high pass filter 7, the output of which controls a muting control signal generating means 8 comprising capacitors C1, C2 converting the output of the high pass filter, diodes D1, D2 and resistors R1, R2 dividing a DC and the result is impressed to a base of a transitor (TR). A muting control signal is impressed to the base of the TR depending on the level of the noise component.

However, in FM radio receivers, the output gain of the intermediate frequency amplifier 3 is increased and a limiter is applied to the FM input signal, so the strength of the carrier level is detected at the time of the FM large input and weak input. . That is,
As shown in FIG. 3, the solid line a shows the FM input signal which is the output of the intermediate frequency amplifier 3, and the broken line a shows the noise component in the FM human input signal. Then, as shown by the solid line a, the level of the FM input signal becomes saturated because the limiter is applied. In this curve of solid line a,
It is in the muting ON region that the carrier level strength can be detected. Conventionally, this muting was ON.
Muting is applied only in the area, and muting is not applied in the area where muting is OFF. However, in this muting OFF region, as shown by the broken line, the level of the noise component was high, and it could not be said that the noise component was sufficiently suppressed. For this reason,
For example, a Lan-O receiver equipped with a conventional F M muting circuit outputs an audibly unnatural sound.

A muting control signal is applied to the base of the transistor TR so that muting is applied depending on the level of the noise component. That is, this muting control signal causes a large change in the FM input, as shown by the chain line C in FIG. 3, and a change in the noise component, as shown by the chain line d. Therefore, in the FM muting circuit of the embodiment, the noise level contained in the output of the intermediate frequency amplifier 3 is kept constant regardless of the change in the level of the output of the intermediate frequency amplifier 3 due to the muting control signal. This embodiment can be similarly applied even when a quadrature detection circuit is used as the detection circuit 4.
