ABSTRACT:
An AM stereo receiver uses an AM detector (208) and an asynchronous PM detector (206) to decode AM stereo signals. The AM stereo broadcast signal has a carrier signal phase modulated with a modified phase shifted left channel minus right channel (L-R) audio signal, which is then amplitude modulated with a phase shifted left channel plus right channel (L+R) audio signal.
The AM detector (208) within the receiver decodes the phase shifted L+R signal, while the PM detector 206 within the receiver decodes the modified phase shifted L-R signal. A phase shifter (214) restores the L+R and L-R signals to their proper phase relationship. A matrix circuit (228) regenerates the left and right channel signals from the L+R and L-R signals.
