each with a Q of 5. The 38 and 19–kHz outputs of pins 1 and 20, respectively, are<br />
fairly pure sine waves. Harmonic distortion products are better than 66 dB<br />
down—THD of less than 0.05%.<br />
U212 is a precision, four-quadrant, analog multiplier. The output of U212 is the<br />
product of 38 kHz applied to the “X” input and the difference of left and right<br />
audio (L-R signal) applied to the “Y” input. The resulting output is a double<br />
sideband, suppressed carrier—the L-R subcarrier.<br />
The SCA subcarrier, the left, right, and left-minus-right subcarriers, and the 19–<br />
kHz pilot subcarrier are combined into the composite stereo signal by summing<br />
amplifier U206B.<br />
Analog switch U205, at the input of U206B, provides switching of left and right<br />
audio for stereo and mono modes. In the mono mode, right channel audio is<br />
disabled, and the left channel audio is increased from 45% modulation to 100%.<br />
MON L and MON R outputs go to the AF Monitor jacks on the rear panel.<br />
R208+R210 (R220+R222) and C207 (C211) comprise a 75–µsec de-emphasis<br />
network. Processed, de-emphasized (75–µsec) samples of the stereo generator<br />
input signals are used for a studio monitor and for audio testing. Option jumpers<br />
JP203 (JP204) allow you to select 50 µsec.<br />
VR201 and VR202 supply +6 volts and –6 volts, respectively. A 5–volt reference<br />
from the audio processor board supplies the subcarrier generators.<br />
