is the signal-to-noise (S/N) characteristic in the case of stereo demodulation, B is the signal-to-noise characteristic (S/N) in the case of monaural demodulation, and C is the channel separation characteristic in the case of stereo demodulation. In Figure 1, when the input field is below 50 dB, the S/N during stereo demodulation is approximately
20dB worse. This deterioration of the S/N ratio during stereo demodulation is unavoidable, but the noise during FM reception is extremely annoying, and various methods have been proposed to remove it. The second method is
As shown in the figure, a method is known in which a left channel output 100L and a right channel output 100R of an FM multiplex demodulation circuit 100 are coupled by a capacitor 100'. This is based on the fact that the noise that increases with stereo demodulation has a 180° phase difference between the left and right channels, and that the noise that is easily noticeable to the human eye is distributed in the high range of the audible frequency band. Cancel noise as only monaural,
In addition, this method maintains separation between left and right in the low range.

For example, in the case of a strong electric field, the input terminal 8 of the control circuit 6
the voltage applied to is higher than the reference voltage source 613;
Therefore, transistor 601 is turned on and transistor 602 is turned off. At this time, the control voltage generated at the cathode of diode 609 and the cathode of diode 612 is that the voltage at the cathode of diode 609 is higher than that at the cathode of diode 612.
612 is lower than the voltage at the cathode.
Therefore, in the first mixing circuit 4, the base voltages of the transistors 403, 406 are lower than the base voltages of the transistors 404, 405, so the transistors 403, 406 are turned off, and the transistors 404, 405 are turned on. At this time, only the left channel signal L input to the transistor 401 is transmitted to the transistor 407,
The monaural signal L+R, which is output from the output circuit composed of 408 and 409 to the output terminal 7 of the first mixing circuit and input to the transistor 402, is not output.

Similarly, in the second mixing circuit 5, transistors 503 and 506 are turned off, transistors 504 and 505 are turned on, and only the left and right channel signals R are input to transistor 501 and are composed of transistors 507, 508, and 509. The monaural signal L+R is output from the output circuit to the output terminal 9 of the second mixing circuit 5, and the monaural signal L+R input to the transistor 502 is not output. Further, in the case of a weak electric field, the voltage applied to the input terminal 8 of the control circuit 6 is lower than the voltage value of the reference voltage source 613, the transistor 601 is cut off, the transistor 602 is turned on, and the cathode voltage of the diode 609 is equal to the cathode voltage of the diode 612. becomes higher. Therefore, in the first mixing circuit, transistor 4
03,406 base voltage is transistor 40
The voltage becomes higher than the base voltage of transistor 4,405, transistors 403 and 406 become conductive, and transistor 40 becomes conductive.
4,405 is cut off, and at this time, only the monaural signal L+R input to the transistor 402 is output to the output terminal 7 of the first mixing circuit 4, and the left channel signal L is not output.

Further, the output terminal 7 of the first mixing circuit 4 and the second
Since the monaural signal L+R outputted to the output terminal 9 of the mixing circuit 5 is a monaural signal L+R with high frequency noise cut through the LPF 3, the S/N ratio as a monaural signal can be improved. Furthermore, by selecting the capacitance value of the capacitor 301 of the LPF 3, the amount of attenuation of high frequency noise can be selected. Further, in the medium electric field to weak electric field to weak electric field region, the control voltage from the control circuit 6 changes according to the input voltage at the input terminal 8 of the control circuit 6, and therefore the transistor 403 of the first mixing circuit 4, The difference between the base voltages of the transistors 406 and the transistors 404 and 405 also changes depending on the input voltage of the input terminal 8 of the control circuit 6.
Therefore, a signal obtained by mixing the left channel signal L input to the transistor 401 and the monaural signal L+R input to the transistor 402 is output to the output terminal 7 of the first mixing circuit 4, and the left channel signal L and the monaural signal L+R are output to the output terminal 7 of the first mixing circuit 4. The mixing ratio changes depending on the input voltage at the input terminal 8 of the control circuit 6.

Similarly, the output terminal 9 of the second mixing circuit 5 receives the right channel signal R input to the transistor 501.
and the monaural signal L+R input to the transistor 502 are output, and the mixing ratio changes depending on the input voltage at the input terminal 8 of the control circuit 6. Further, by appropriately selecting the mutual conductance of the differential amplifier 600, the rate of change of the mixing ratio can be selected.

Therefore, if a signal corresponding to the electric field strength, for example, the drive voltage of the signal meter of an FM receiver, is input to the input terminal 8 of the control circuit 6, the left channel signal L will be output even during stereo demodulation in the case of a strong electric field with good S/N condition. , the stereo signal of the right channel signal R is output without degrading the separation of the left and right channels, and within the range where the S/N ratio is approximately 20 dB worse than the S/N ratio during stereo demodulation in medium to weak electric fields, the stereo signal output is The signal output is gradually shifted to monaural signal output, that is, the separation of the left and right channels is gradually shifted to monaural, thereby improving the deterioration of the S/N ratio during stereo demodulation.

As described above, according to the characteristic curve D, it can be seen that there is no deterioration of the separation in the case of a strong electric field, and that it gradually shifts to cenoral in the range of medium to weak electric fields, and becomes monaural in a weak electric field. Similarly, characteristic curve E shows that in the range from medium electric field to weak electric field, the S/N characteristic shifts to that of A during stereo demodulation, and furthermore, in a weak electric field, the S/N characteristic of B during monaural demodulation is improved.
It can be seen that it has N characteristics.
