PROCEDURES FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE QUALITY OF RECEIPT OF A STEREO AND STEREO UNDERTAKINGS

摘要

According to the invention, a precise criterion for evaluating the reception quality is derived in a stereo radio set from the signal energy or power of the upper and lower sideband (OS, US) of the L-R signal (L-R) of the stereo multiplex signal (MPX). To achieve this, the upper sideband (OS) is filtered out of the L-R signal (L-R) using a first bandpass filter (BP 1 ) and is mixed with an auxiliary carrier (H) of 38 KHz in a first mixer (M 1 ) and shifted to the baseband. Similarly, the lower sideband (US) is filtered out of the L-R signal (L-R) using a second bandpass filter (BP 2 ) and is mixed in a second mixer (M 2 ) with an auxiliary carrier (H) of KHz and shifted to the baseband. The output signal of the first mixer (M 1 ) is filtered in a first lowpass filter (TP 1 ), whilst the output signal of the second mixer (M 2 ) is filtered in a second lowpass filter (TP 2 ). The cross-correlation (Q), which represents an extremely precise measurement of reception quality, is formed in a unit (K) from the output signals of the two lowpass filters (TP 1 , TP 2 ). The greater the cross-correlation, the higher the reception quality.
