Architecture for an AM/FM digital intermediate frequency radio
An AM/FM DIF radio has an IF to audio converter that provides an audio signal from an IF signal responsive to a clock signal. During the processing of the IF signal, a spurious signal is intentionally generated. The spurious signal is based on the predetermined offset which is included in the IF signal applied to an A/D converter. The predetermined offset is greater than or equal to half of the AM bandwidth and less than or equal to the system bandwidth. The spurious signal is generated at a frequency proportional to the sum of an imprecision offset and the predetermined offset. A low pass filter removes the spurious signal while preserving the desired portion of the audio signal.
