Abstract: A radio receiver, in particular a vehicle radio receiver, is proposed, which is able to display or output acoustically, traffic news which is contained in digital signals. At least the data memory for the decoding of the digital traffic news and of the display or the output in the correct language is contained on a chip card, which can be inserted into the radio receiver. This makes it possible that, on the one hand, a linguistically adapted output of traffic news is possible, and, on the other hand, in the event of changes in the road network, a simple adaptation without modification of the radio receiver is made possible. Finally, it facilitates the use of the radio receiver worldwide, since the chip card allows regionally specific or country specific local codes to be taken into account.

Abstract: The digital filter includes a first multiplier (2) receiving an input signal, an adder (3) connected to the first multiplier (2) to receive its output signal, a delay element (6) connected to the adder (3) to receive its output signal, a second multiplier (7) connected between the delay element (6) and a second input of the adder (3) in a feedback branch, a device (16) for supplying either of two values (K1.1, K1.2) of a first multiplier coefficient to the first multiplier (2) and a device (17) for supplying either of two values (K2.1, K2.2) of a second multiplier coefficient to the second multiplier (7). The second one (K2.2) of the two values of the second multiplier coefficient is advantageously 0, while the second one (K1.2) of the first multiplier coefficient values is equal to a quotient of a predetermined first one of the first multiplier coefficient values and a difference between one and a predetermined first one of the second multiplier coefficient values.

Abstract: The method for obtaining the quality signal includes multiplying a digital multiplex signal (MPX) by respective reference carrier signals mutually phase shifted by 90.degree. to each other, but otherwise equal, to form a pair of mixed signals (Imr1,Imr2); multiplying the mixed signals (Imr1, Imr2) by respective correction signals (G38c,G38s) to form a pair of corrected mixed signal (Ims1,Ims2); separately multiplying the digital multiplex signal (MPX) by each of two reference pilot signals mutually shifted in phase by 90.degree.

Abstract: The circuit arrangement includes a first low-pass filter (2) for filtering an input signal (H3) proportional to the strength of a received radio signal; a second low-pass filter (3) for filtering the input signal (H3); a first weighting circuit (7) for weighting the first low-pass filter output signal with first coefficients to form a first weighted output signal; a circuit device for forming a masking signal for reducing stereo channel isolation from the first weighted output signal; a second weighting circuit (5) for forming a second weighted output signal weighted with second coefficients from the first low-pass filter output signal or the second low-pass filter output signal according to a switching signal (DD2) indicative of interference in the audio signals; a switch device (4) for selecting the first low-pass filter output signal for weighting in the second weighting circuit means (5) when no interference is indicated by the switching signal (DD2) and the second low-pass filter output signal for weight

Abstract: Traffic Condition information is settled by actuating a key (15, 16, 17, 18) of a four-way toggle switch (8) of a radio receiver in order to specify a directional quadrant. The position (34) of the radio receiver is established by the computer (5), using program comparison and identification methods, and traffic conditions information relating to the selected directional quadrants (30, 31, 32, 33) is issued via an output device (11), for example visually by a display or acoustically via loudspeakers (10) with the aid of a voice synthesizer (7).
