摘要： The presence or absence of a speaker connected to an output terminal of an audio system is determined based on the electro-generator properties of the speaker. The audio system includes an output amplifier coupled to the output terminal. The method includes driving the output amplifier with a predetermined drive signal sufficient to produce a predetermined speaker excursion if a speaker is connected to the output terminal. The output amplifier is then isolated from the output terminal. A signal at the output terminal is sensed after the output amplifier is isolated. The sensed signal is compared with a predetermined reference for determining whether a speaker back-EMF is present. A speaker detection signal is generated indicating absence of a speaker if the back-EMF is not present.

摘要： A digital signal processing automotive audio system uses an analog audio source providing stereo output signals. One of the stereo signals is mixed to a distinct frequency band and summed with the other stereo signal to form a composite signal which can be digitized in a single analog-to-digital converter. Separate digital stereo signals are recovered using digital signal processing.

摘要： A method and apparatus for determining the connection status of a communication system speaker connection to the amplifier includes digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry contained in the system receiving a clip detect feedback loop from the amplifier in response to a tone signal delivered to the amplifier from the DSP microprocessor. Preferably, the diagnosis is initiated by actuation of a predetermined plurality of controllers on a face control unit, each of which is otherwise actuated individually to control portions of the communication system. Preferably, a tone signal generated for diagnosis is generally inaudible to the human ear but the front control unit includes a display screen for illustrating the condition of the speaker-to-amplifier connection after the diagnostic function has been completed.

摘要： Digital signal processing (DSP) employing a differential mean calculation automatically distinguishes sections of blank tape from program material (such as music or voice) on cassette tapes. Blank tape produces a negligible differential mean value while program material produces substantial differential mean values. Thus, each differential mean is compared to a threshold so that a cassette player can be commanded to fast forward through a blank section of tape. A music envelope detector insures that low amplitude music signals are not detected as blank.

摘要： A system and method for predicting and limiting distortion of an amplified signal is described. The system includes a variable total harmonic distortion (“THD”) clipping predictor, a comparator in communication with the variable THD clipping predictor and a distortion limiter in communication with the comparator. As for the method, a reference power supply value, a maximum desired total harmonic distortion value and a preamplified signal value is provided. A THD output threshold value is calculated based on the reference power supply value and the maximum desired THD value and is then compared to the preamplified signal value. Depending on if the preamplified signal value is greater than or less than the THD output threshold value, the amplitude of the preamplified signal may be increased or decreased.
