ABSTRACT:
A method and system are provided for the transmission and reception of a composite radio-frequency (RF) signal including a supplemental signal, preferably representing encoded digital information, together with an analog signal which represents monophonic analog audio in the AM-band. The analog monophonic component of the composite signal may be received by conventional AM-band audio receivers. In certain embodiments, the analog signal is a single-sideband large-carrier or vestigial-sideband large-carrier signal, and the composite RF signal includes a digital signal whose spectrum is substantially confined in one inner sideband. In other embodiments, a baseband digital signal is combined with an analog monophonic audio signal and transmitted in upper inner and lower inner sidebands using nonlinear compatible quadrature amplitude modulation (NC-QAM). Additional digital signals' spectrum occupies the lower outer and upper outer sidebands. In certain embodiments, for each transmitted codeword, part of the codeword information is replicated by modulated signals in both the upper outer and lower outer sidebands, preferably with diversity delay between the outer sideband signals.
