Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9967905A1] Left and right stereo audio information is reproduced from a compatible quadrature amplitude modulation (C-QUAM) broadcast using a simplified approximation to true C-QUAM decoding. A synchronous detection approximation is used which avoids generating an envelope signal or calculating a cosine correction factor as in true C-QUAM decoding. The method requires less intensive computation power thereby allowing a digital signal processor to perform other functions at the same time. The method produces no perceivable distortion or artifacts when reproducing normal broadcast material.
