FM stereo broadcasting system. Besides, the model LG 3219 has built-in modulators for signals of RDS (Radio Data System) that is used as a digital data transmission method in FM stereo broadcasting in European countries or RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) that is used in the United States, and for signals of TRI (Traffic Radio Information) that is used as a traffic information identity signal in European countries.
1 Hz resolution in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This is used for measuring the frequency characteristics of a receiver. 1-3-2 Features applied to LG 3219 only RDS and TRI signal sources The instrument has a built-in RDS or RBDS signal source and TRI (=ARI) signal source. With these signal sources, the instrument alone can generate modulation waves that are to be used to test and measure FM multiplex broadcasting receivers.
■GENERAL 1-4 FUNCTION 1-4-1 FM stereo modulator (1) FM stereo broadcasting As outlined in Figure 1-2, a broadcasting using the carrier suppression AM / FM system is generally called an FM stereo broadcasting. This system was established by FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and EUB (European Broadcasti0g Union), and is now submitted to the Radio Regulatory Council of the Post and Telecommunications Ministry.

GENERAL■ (2) Modulation mode Six types of modulation modes are available. (a) Modulation off Both the main- and sub-channel signals are turned off. (b) Monophonic Without stereo modulation, only a main-channel signal is generated. The PILOT signal is turned off. As a test tone, an internal AF signal or an externally supplied sine wave ranging from 20 Hz to 100 kHz can be used.
