AUDIMAX 362 

SOLIDYNE

 

MPX processing 

The  studies  about  the  modulation  on  an  FM 
transmitter  indicate  that  when  the  transmitter  is 
modulated  by  stereo  MPX  signal  appears  a  new 
effect, not present on the original audio signal. 

This  effect,  denominated  in  U.S.A. 

MPX 

Interleaving

  (also  known  as 

peak  correlation

), 

determines that the modulation peak in MPX does 
not  coincide  with  the  modulation  peak  of  the 
stereo signal, considered in independent form. 

This  means,  in  simple  terms,  that  if  the  peaks  of 
channels  L  and  R  are  limited  separately  so  that 
MPX  signal  never  over  modulate,  during  most  of 
the  time,  the  modulation  capacity  of  the 
transmitter  will  be  wasted.  And  this  happens 
because  signal  MPX  is  the  sum  of  L+R  but  also 
includes  the  38  KHz sub-carrier. According to the 
relation  of  phase  between  these  three  elements, 
there  will  be  different  peak  values  for  the 
interleaving.  This  phenomenon  indicates  that  is 
possible  to  increase  the  modulation  without 
increasing  the  deviation  of  75  KHz  of  the 
transmission,  taking  advantage  of  the  modulation 
capacity that normally is wasted. 

 

Audimax  362  processor  uses  a  MPX  Processing 
technology  named  Super  Modulation.  This 
processing  consists  on  a  system  that controls the 
peaks,  operating  at  608  Khz,  eliminating  the 
peaks in MPX base band signal and filtering them 
so that there are not left residual components.
