NICAM encoder featuring synchronization of a NICAM processor with front-end input and output sections

摘要

A NICAM encoder ( 54 ) comprises a NICAM processor ( 82 ) and a front-end section ( 80,84 ) coupled to the NICAM processor. The front-end section is configured for operating with a system clock ( 68 ) that is integer divisible such that the system clock can be used by both the NICAM processor ( 82 ) and the front-end section ( 80,84 ).
