FM stereo matrix generator /5

 

Production is advanced with Step by step with the verification of each circuit.
Let's understand the stereo modulator.

The following measuring instruments are necessary to verify FMmodulator explained on this page experimenting.
Spectrum analyzer(peak holding and occupation band measurement function)

The power supply of this experimental circuit uses a good quality about single power supply of 12V/100 mA in capacity.

FM stereo modulation signal Spectrum seen from side of electric wave
 
 
Well, the signal of the modulator directly last time The electric wave of the modulated signal is seen in the experiment Herr modulator this time though the signal recovered one's with a straight line detector was verified from the axis side of time.

The spectrum analyzer (electric wave analysis device) is used to see the electric wave (frequency axis side) directly. The appearance of the electric wave itself can be seen directly by using the spectrum analyzer.

The image below is a spectrum of the modulated electric wave the pilot signal of the produced experiment modulator.

A clean pilot signal also : as long as it sees with the oscilloscope (time axis). When the state recorded in the electric wave is seen, the thing that in the pilot signal, there is a little distortion is understood.

19KHz parts from a basic wave and the main body of the pilot signal. 38KHz parts and the garbage of the pilot signal that the second high note wave and 57KHz part and the modulator puts out the third high note wave below.

However, it is a to tell the truth tolerable because of about -60dBm the third high note wave of 57KHz state of the signal.
 
 
 
 

Image in state to turn off pilot signal continuously When the pilot signal is turned off, the subcarrier of 38KHz is confirmed.

it is not, and the thing completely suppressed leaks to the subcarrier of 38KHz slightly when there is no audio signal though it is originally in the state of suppression. it is possible to observe it clearly by seeing the residual subcarrier at 0.2KHz Deviation level with spectrum analyzer in the high frequency in a straight line detector.

Shall I assume it is good because it clears the standard enough because it is about -60dBm
 
 

For career suppression of the subcarrier of 38KHzThe following standards exist in "Quality of the electric wave in the frequency modulation broadcasting" of Radio Law.

+/- 75KHz of Frequency Deviation level 1% of cycle of main signal carrier by remaining of subcarrier on inside

Frequency Deviation +/- 0.75KHz following measured when Frequency Deviation of a main signal carrier who happens because of the leakage of the subcarrier of 38KHz turns off the pilot signal by 1% or less for +/- 75KHz are things, and the suppression of the sub career of 38KHz becomes -40 a dB at 1%. The subcarrier is observed to remain in 0.75KHz-40dBm place even if it sees with Spectrum analyzer in the high frequency.
 
 
 
 
 

The following put and verify the audio signal.

Pilot OFF and the right side are on a pilot images. a left image The modulation level is set as 100%(cycle 150kHz Frequency Deviation) at this point, and measured similarly thereafter.
1KHz AF_signal /L+R ch signal

  

The subcarrier of 38KHz understands, and suppression understands being confirmed and dynamically and it is understood to be deteriorated though it is necessary to suppress the subcarrier for L+R left image basically.
 
 
 
 
 

1KHz AF_signal /L ch signal

  

The occupation band extends because the subcarrier stands up when the signal enters one side channel
 
 
 
 
 

1KHz AF_signal/L-R ch signal(SUB)/opposite phase signal

  

if subcarrier (DSB/double-sideband) signal measures 100% standing up occupation band, it becomes an occupation of 222.6KHz by the DSB signal of left Pilot off if the opposite phase signal is put though the setting of the modulation level 100% of L+R (cycle 150kHz Frequency Deviation) has not been changed.

When the complete do balance of Balanced modulator When FM tuner is monaural, the sound is not emitted even if this signal is received. (suppression of about - 60dB)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Modulation by music signal

For maximum Frequency Deviation of a main signal carrier The following standards exist in "Standard how to transmit the frequency modulation broadcasting" of Radio Law.

maximum Frequency Deviation :+/- 75KHz
left or right signal Deviation :+/- 33.75KHz

As for the transmission of FM, the known range where it turns over and Deviation can do because they are the Frequency number modulations is restricted. it is a translation called the width of the shake +/- 75KHz (150KHz).

"it is best and paddle sound" will have gone out at this time by the translation that the range to make the frequency of the sent electric wave change says 150KHz (100% modulation) in the maximum, and it becomes all standards.

However, it is not a simple story because there is a big difference in the volume received by the quality of the signal even by the same several 150KHz Frequency Deviation by the difference of the transmitter.

it is a current state because it doesn't correctly understand this standard to our regret as for the mini FM station to have emitted the sound vaguely. if the modulation level seen from the electric wave is not correctly done as for the mini FM station that boasts of the ownership of an expensive audio processor or the Compressor limiter, to free of the expensive apparatus the decoration regrettable.
 
 

This time, the electric wave of the signal modulated in shape to actually use the experiment modulator is seen.

The processor (Compressor/limiter) is connected with the former steps of the experiment modulator naturally, the voice input of the modulator is adjusted with the limiter, and it is adjusted to the modulation level 100% (150KHz Frequency Deviation ). This adjustment inputs the music signal it is not in a continuous signal but with the change and should adjust the limiter point within the range of the multiplication 150kHz at time.

Deviation or less moving catches by using the peak holding function of Spectrum analyzer

After the peak is held and the music signal is thrown for several minutes, occupation band (OBW) is measured.

if the processor for FM Broadcast is correctly adjusted, it is possible to adjust it as possible to be maintained to the modulation level 100% (150kHz Frequency Deviation) correct.

However, BEHRINGER DSP9024 etc. are a standard mastering processors of the mini FM station, and, then, the occupation band cannot be maintained for FM Broadcast as long as neither the emphasis loop back nor Pre-emphasis, etc. are processed because it is not. it is necessary to note it for the maintenance of the modulation level because a moderate device is needed.
 

  
The peak values of the audio signal are the maximum, and are 150kHz Frequency Deviation

The measuring span was seen measuring it with 600KHz and 2MHz.

Even if modulation Spectrum is seen, it is sideband spurious few, extremely clean, and the occupation band is also narrow because experiment matrix modulation circuit has synthesized Pure signal unlimitedly from the beginning.
 
 

What is the optimization of FM voice signal of recent said well ?

There is not emitting a strapping sound from FM transmitter in the optimization of the sound, and , mini component and departure other party of the radio-cassette of the "Paddle sound" moderate on t compresses it as it deviates from the frequency occupation band of 150kHz and the sound is extreme.
However, it is not called optimize of an original sound.

The optimization of FM voice signal in the state to disregard the occupation band of 150 kHz that are the modulation level 100% is not possible.

There is no meaning at all if neither sound making nor the voice processing process of the processor is constructed and optimized with these 150kHz occupation bands (OBW) maintained.
it is whether to send a steady audio signal to the listener with the optimization of an original sound by using the occupation band of 150kHz that is this 100% modulation very efficiently.

However, the commercial broadcast bureau with the occupation band maintained cannot remainder achieve the voice level output with mini FM transmitter being marketed now because the frequency occupation band diffuses by badness and spurious the MPX signal purity even if the audio signal very optimized is put and it wastes the band greatly.

Even if the same audio signal that the optimization processing is done as the commercial broadcast bureau is input, it causes it by the signal with inferior loss of 6dB or12dB.
This when qualitatively seeing from the width of the electric wave by the volume of about 1/2 or1/4 The occupation band reaches 150kHz of 100% modulation by spurious of an inferior signal.
Please refer to width of the electric wave. and matrix generator/3
 
 
 
 
 
 

Harmful spurious and obstruction filter that modulator puts out

This time, to obstruct spurious that the produced experiment modulator is harmful, the filter circuit was united to the output circuit.

OP AMP two negligent filter steps
it is only at a mere mere consolation level,
and the circuit that uses L is actually. necessary to obstruct Side spurious and this assume it is good because it is experiment this time.

and the circuit that uses L is actually . necessary to obstruct Side spurious and this assume it is good because it is experiment this time.
 

The following standards exist in "Standard how to transmit the frequency modulation broadcasting" of Radio Law.



 

I think that it can understand the thing that is obviously strict prohibition to spurious of higher-order when the maximum value of the voice modulation frequency sees signal Spectrum.

The band is greatly wasted by spurious that happens due to the distortion of the MPX signal because FM is a frequency modulation though it is a thing why spurious is strict prohibition. Because the band is wasted, the voice level is not raised.
 
 
 

FM stereo modulator has various methods. The generation origin of modulation spurious is also various depending on the method.

Because the modulator of the matrix method made on this page promotes the MPX signal based on the sine wave signal, spurious of a synthetic signal is extremely few as long as the thing of the saturation of the circuit etc. is not done.

The signal is time-sharing cut digitally for the modulator of the SW method, the prototype of sub career (DSB) signal is produced, and it builds in a clean MPX signal by the filtering processing afterwards because harmful spurious is contained voluminously at this point. The electric wave is modulated if the filtering processing is not properly done by harmful spurious and the band is diffused. The filtering processing is an important problem because the diffusion of the band causes extreme tone quality deterioration also on the reception side.
 

FM modulator of a full, digital method that is becoming a main current to use DSP is not unexpectedly known modulation spurious that the generated digital noise is harmful is output at the digital-to-analog conversion recently.

The filtering processing to the output circuit of optimod 8100 of the matrix method To spurious a digital noise when the output circuit of latest digital processor optimod 8400 is seen, extreme filtering processing repeats and is given by LC though doesn't give.

However, full, digital FM modulator that must be normally high sound quality. Story that it is strange to cause signal deterioration by digital noise generated from D/A converter?.. it is extreme filtering processing and a vicious circle of the tone quality deterioration

it is possible to visit importance for modulation spurious from this thing.
 
 
 
 
 

Experiment Matrix modulator Wild_mod.Ver-1 /beta

How though it was experiment who advanced production with Step by step with the verification of each circuit ?

I think that the performance one is understood if each measurement result can be seen.

Normally, do though it might be place what that means specs here writing and even very?
clear, to come by understanding in the made thing, and to think of the broadcasting standard by one respondent the spec?
Do not you think hearing of a good sound?

Please evaluate it more suitable making for the sound. Please making for the spec must measure oneself and verify it.
However, it smiles wryly though it embarrasses even if a toy of mini-FM transmitters etc. are compared.

The circuit chart open to the public here produces, remodels, modifies, deteriorates the circuit as long as it privately enjoys it, and freely.
 
 

All circuit chart is temporarily opened to the public as a "bata version."

The above-mentioned and WildCat FM BrodCast technical Factory own the writing of the open to the public circuit. The reprint and the link of without permission are prohibited even if any thing and existing.

There is no previous notice for the improvement and the change will be added to the circuit in the future. The changed circuit chart is renewed at the right time.

Even a small thing : the report to there began to be looking by all means about the improvement in the basic circuit part etc. in production. A new improvement from which our Staff is not thought will write "Modified.xxx" in the proposal of will prosperity in the circuit immediately with the circuit chart change with the respect in appreciation for obedience, and makes it assume the community ownership of writing. it is not in the fake camouflaged in the religion, and a truly good sound is requested, and everyone doesn't do and it wishes the thing that the circuit of this generator evolves by the technology and the idea...!
 
 

Even if the explosion or the accident such as blazing up happens, your brain cell cannot be concerned of WildCat FM according to the example at all.

Moreover, it doesn't hear of the complaint such as being not able to reproduce the signal that came near to an individual technology and was published in the page at all in the thing that the signal obtained from the open to the public circuit is measured to the origin of an accurate measurement environment the signal image published in the page. I hope all in an individual judgment and the self-responsibility.
