Abstract: A digital filter operates on the basis of a first clock having a first frequency. A stereo modulator operates on the basis of a second clock having a second frequency higher than the first frequency and being asynchronous. The stereo modulator performs a predetermined process on output data of the digital filter. A frequency modulator operates on the basis of a third clock having a third frequency whose origin is the same as that of the second clock, and performs frequency modulation on an output signal of the second digital computing unit. A sampling converter receives output data having the first frequency from the digital filter, converts a sampling frequency to data synchronized with the second clock, and outputs the obtained data to the stereo modulator.

Abstract: A pre-emphasis filter emphasizes a high-frequency component of an input audio signal. A limiter circuit detects that the output signal from the pre-emphasis filter reaches a predetermined upper limit level. A filter adjusting circuit changes the frequency characteristic of the pre-emphasis filter when a limit operation is generated in the limiter circuit.

Abstract: A digital modulator performs BPSK on differential data, filters it, and outputs the resultant data. A determining unit determines a combination of continuous two values of differential data. In a waveform generator, waveform generation rules are set for each of the combinations. On the basis of the waveform generation rule corresponding to the combination determined by the data determining unit, the waveform generator sequentially outputs a digital waveform signal.

Abstract: A stereo modulator converts an audio signal to a stereo composite signal. A frequency modulator receives the stereo composite signal and modulates the frequency of a carrier wave using the stereo composite signal as a modulation signal. An amplitude modulator modulates the amplitude of a sub-carrier by using, as a modulation signal, a difference signal between an L-channel and an R-channel of the audio signal. A first adder adds an output of the amplitude modulator with a sum signal of the L-channel and R-channel. A first multiplier multiplies an output of the first adder with a first variable coefficient. A second multiplier multiplies a pilot signal with a second variable coefficient. A second adder adds outputs of the first and second multipliers and outputs the resultant. A modulation degree adjuster adjusts the amplitude of the stereo composite signal and outputs the resultant signal to the frequency modulator.
