ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses an AM stereo transmission method characterized in that when left and right audio signals L and R are transmitted as an AM stereo signal which is represented by S=A cos(.omega.t+.phi.) wherein A denotes an amplitude, .omega. a carrier angular frequency and .phi. a phase angle given by tan.sup.-1 (L-R)/1+L+R, the audio signal of low frequency is transmitted at an amplitude A=(1+L+R), and the audio signal of high frequency is transmitted at an amplitude A=.sqroot.(1+L+R).sup.2 +(L-R).sup.2. The modulator according to the present invention comprises a matrix circuit for providing signals (L+R) and (L-R), an orthogonal modulator to produce an AM stereo signal .sqroot.(1+L+R).sup.2 +(L-R).sup.2 cos(.omega.t+.phi., an amplitude controller, an amplitude control signal generator circuit and a low-pass filter. In the modulator the said AM stereo signal S is changed to the signal (1+L+R)cos(.omega.t+.phi.) for audio signal of low frequency by controlling the amplitude controller. The demodulator according to the present invention comprises an amplitude controller to which the AM signal S=A cos(.omega.t+.phi.) is inputted, an orthogonal demodulator, an matrix circuit for driving signals L and R from signals (L+R) and (L-R) obtained by the orthogonal demodulator, an amplitude control signal generator circuit and a low-pass filter. In the demodulator the said AM stereo signal S=(1+L+R)cos(.omega.t+.phi.) for audio signal of low frequency is changed to the signal .sqroot.(1+L+R).sup.2 +(L-R).sup.2 cos(.omega.t+.phi.) by controlling the amplitude controller.
