<p>1536963 Stereophonic receivers SIEMENS AG 20 Feb 1976 [13 March 1975] 06724/76 Heading H4R In a stereophonic signal decoder circuit in which a sum signal L+R and a difference signal L-R are fed to a matrix to derive the L and R signals for reproduction, the difference signal L-R is fed to the matrix 3 via a differential amplifier type attenuator 6 which is controlled by a control signal Us applied to a control terminal 7. Preferably the control signal is varied with received signal level to provide a smooth change between monophonic reproduction at low signal levels and stereophonic reproduction at a high signal level, where the signal strength is adequate to provide good stereo separation. As described, the 38 kHz sub-carrier modulated with the stereo difference signal is applied to terminal 19 of a demodulator formed by transistors 10 to 15 fed also with the 38 kHz phase-locked demodulating carrier on terminals 45 so that opposite phase outputs +(L-R) and -(L-R) are developed to be fed into the common emitter circuits of differential amplifiers 23, 24 and 25, 26, respectively, in the attenuator circuit. The attenuator comprises four differential amplifiers having the bases and collectors of the transistors in the amplifiers commoned in differently arranged pairs so that a control signal Us applied to the input 31 provides variable attenuation in the transmission of the signals +(L-R) and -(L-R) to the output terminals 33, 34. The sum signal L+R is applied via transistors 33, 39, to the splitting transistors 41, 42 to be combined in the collector circuits with the attenuated +(L-R) and -(L-R) signals to form the left and right channel signals U L and U R which vary from fully independent L and R signals, when the attenuating factor b is 1 to identical L+R signals when the factor b is 0.</p> |
