Broadcast Or Multiplex Stereo Patents (Class 381/2)
  • Patent number: 4449229
    Abstract: A signal processing circuit capable of producing a pair of output signals having a correlated coefficient from a single irregular input signal. When such output signals are used for reproduction in an audio equipment, sounds are emanated from loudspeakers, so as to provide an auditor with a directional, spatial sensation.

  • Patent number: 4449230
    Abstract: A stereo demodulating circuit for an AM stereo receiver includes an IF stage for producing an IF signal from a received AM stereo signal of the type having a carrier amplitude-modulated with the sum of left and right channel signals and the carrier phase-modulated with the difference of the left and right channel signals; an envelope detector for producing a sum signal corresponding to the sum of the left and right channel signals in response to the IF signal, and having level information, amplitude-modulation information and a DC component; a negative peak limiter for limiting the minimum level of the sum signal from the envelope detector; a divider for dividing the IF signal by the sum signal with its minimum level limited to produce a phase-modulation signal; a phase-locked loop for producing a non-modulation signal from the IF signal; a low-pass filter for removing the amplitude-modulation information from the sum signal from the envelope detector to produce a level information signal having only the leve

  • Patent number: 4410761
    Abstract: A television system having a stereo loudspeaker system with a plurality of speakers and delay circuitry for successively delaying the left and right signals so that the speaker at the right end of the speaker arrangement receives the least delayed right signal and the most delayed left signal and the speaker at the left end of the speaker arrangement receives the least delayed left signal and the most delayed right signal.
