ABSTRACT:
A compander for noise reduction of a FM signal is described, wherein a group delay (τ) linked to the generation of the compressor gain (cc(t)) is equalised during generation of the multiplex signal (m(t)), and a group delay (τ) linked to the generation of the expander gain (ce(t)) is equalised during generation of the sum signal (us(t)) and the expanded difference signal (ue(t)). Alternatively or additionally the compressor gain and/or the expander gain is controlled by an auxiliary signal on the basis of a combination of sum signal and difference signal of the FM signal. Such companders avoid overmodulation in the transmitter.
