Abstract:
A digital radio receiver achieves an outstandingly performance in terms of high signal/noise ratio by first converting a received radio frequency signal to a signal at an intermediate frequency by a fully analog tuning stage, thus avoiding to introduce any digital conversion noise before down-converting at intermediate frequency the radio signal. The resulting digital signal is down-converted for generating in-phase and quadrature components that are filtered and eventually equalized by a programmable digital signal processor for compensating variations of the broadcast channel that may negatively affect the performance, especially in car radio applications.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a high speed interface for radio systems, in particular to a synchronous serial digital interface for car radio. In an its embodiment the synchronous serial digital interface for at least dual radio receiver systems comprises a master device and a slave device; said dual radio receiver systems having an intermediate frequency; said master device and said slave device exchange data in bi-directional way on at least one communication channel; said master device and said slave device have a unique bit clock; said master device supply to said slave device a synchronisation signal; said synchronisation signal have frequency spectrum with an amplitude at said intermediate frequency lower than at the other frequencies.
