methods and apparatus for detecting the time alignment of an analog audio signal and a digital audio signal in a hybrid radio system and for detecting the level alignment of an analog audio signal and a digital audio signal in a hybrid radio system.

摘要

This invention provides a method of detecting time alignment of an analog audio signal and a digital audio signal in a hybrid radio system. The method comprises the steps of filtering the analog audio signal to produce a filtered analog audio signal, filtering the digital audio signal to produce a filtered digital audio signal, and using the filtered analog audio signal and the filtered digital audio signal to calculate a plurality of correlation coefficients, wherein the correlation coefficients are representative of time alignment between the analog audio signal and the digital audio signal. An apparatus for performing the method is also provided.
