DESCRIPTION
The de-emphasis networks equalize the pre-emphasis often encoded on broadcast FM signals. This
type of equalization provides a simple means of reducing audible noise on FM communication systems.
Pre-emphasis gives a
6
dB
per octave, high-frequency boost to the baseband audio before modulating
the carrier. De-emphasis reverses the boost after demodulation at the receiver. The 3
dB
comer of the
pre-emphasis or de-emphasis network is usually expressed as a time constant. The relationship between
the time constant, r0, and the 3dJ3 comer frequency,
fo,
is
fo
= 1 %
The 3dB comer frequencies of the de-emphasis equalizers (typically accurate to f3%)are listed in the
following table:
