The MPX signal is blanked out in the event of multipath interference or when MUTE is activated externally in the circuit part MNC (Multipath Noise Canceller). In all other cases, the MPX signal passes through the IC unchanged. The internal one-pin oscillator is connected to CRIN with a 456 kHz ceramic resonator. The 456 kHz reference frequency is used for calibrating the filters and generating pulses at INT. ANAOUT +5V ANAOUT GND2 GND2 is the reference potential for the MPX signal.

INT signals such events to other circuit parts by means of 40-ms-wide pulses (low active). The output voltage is limited to 5 V to permit direct activation of a system controller. A monoblend function can thus be activated on simple receivers. On antenna-diversity receivers, INT can activate switchover between antennas.

At the same time, multipath reception is responsible for the most frequently occurring types of interference. In order to suppress this interference systematically, it is first necessary to analyze the received signal so that it is possible to derive the type of interference at any time. The circuit U4275B analyzes the FM reception conditions and makes the data available. This data can be requested by a system controller and evaluated (see figure 1). It is thus possible to introduce measures for optimizing reception – possibly tailored to individual types of interference. Acoustically relevant multipath interference, since it requires a short reaction time, is suppressed directly by the circuit via a Multipath Noise Cancellation (MNC) function. The U4275B can be used both in conventional receivers and in receivers with digital signal processing. Furthermore, it is designed so that it can activate switchover between antennas on antenna-diversity receivers. The integrated circuit can be connected in cascade without much wiring for tuner-diversity receivers. The field strength voltage of the IF amplifier provides all the information about the reception conditions. The following demands are placed on the field strength output of the IF amplifier: (1) A linear characteristic, i.e. the output voltage must be proportional to the logarithm of the IF voltage in the range of RF levels encountered in practice. Deviations from linearity lead to a different evaluation of interference signals of the same intensity of the signal levels are different. (2) The “signal level” output has to react to extremely fast dips in the field strength. Total field strength failures lasting 500 ns and occuring a voltage dip to approx. 0 V at the field strength output. Restrictions The field strength voltage becomes increasingly noisy in the range of low RF levels (< 30 dBmV). The noise prevents reliable detection of interference. Therefore, only the average field strength value can be evaluated over a relatively large time constant in this range. The pilot signal component in the receive signal is an important basis for quality assessment. Multipath detection and common channel detection therefore function only in the case of stereo transmitters.

A1: 14.03.1995 U4275B TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors Multipath detector Typical multipath interference is characterized by fast, modulation-dependent field strength dips, as shown in figure 2. The multipath detector detects these field strength dips and evaluates them in accordance with the level of anticipated acoustic interference. In the case of acoustically relevant interference, it operates the interrupt output INT and the MNC function as a reaction to the interference. If the acoustic effects of interference can be reduced by monoblend, only pulses will appear at output INT. In the case of stronger interference, interference suppression takes place by means of the Multipath Noise Cancellation (MNC) function. The multipath interference also generates a voltage proportional to the interference level at MPFIL. The capacitor connected there is responsible for storing the information to give the system controller sufficient time to read out the value at ANAOUT. The capacitor at MPFIL is discharged again slowly with a long time constant. The corresponding addressing at ADDR0, ADDR1 and OE to permit a rapid assessment when the station is changed. Multipath Noise Cancellation (MNC) Extremely strong multipath interference remains audible in spite of the monoblend function. The remaining interference is reduced still further by the MNC circuit if the output MPXOUT is connected to a reference voltage for a few microseconds while the interference is still occuring. In order to eliminate the possibility of malfunctions, activation of the MNC depends on the following conditions: – The average field strength must exceed a certain value so that the noise in the field strength Rev. A1: 14.03.1995 signal does not cause the MNC to respond at low RF voltages and – the field strength dip must not be caused by adjacent-channel interference. Blanking will otherwise make the modulation of the adjacent channel audibly. The information for this purpose is derived from the common channel detector. The MNC function can also be activated externally via the MUTE pin (low active). The circuit can therefore also be used as a fast high performance mute stage. Common channel detector The common channel detector evaluates the spectral composition of the field strength signal to distinguish common channel interference from other types of interference. This is a particularly difficult task, since weak multipath interference results in a spectrum of the field strength signal that is similar to that of common channel interference. the pilot signal portion of the field strength signal serves as a reference variable to permit a clear distinction to be made. A voltage proportional to the interference is generated at the filter input CCFIL in the case of common channel interference. The external capacitor is responsible for storing the information to give the system controller sufficient time to read out the value at ANAOUT. The capacitor is discharged again slowly at CCFIL, with a long time constant. The capacitor can also be discharged rapidly via corresponding addressment when stations are changed. The common channel detector is blocked for further 20 ms after the detectors are reset to prevent transitory phenomena in the selective filters from causing an indicating error.
