FM Modulated IR Audio Transmission By John Barton
The Chip • The chips I used were TSH512 and TSH511 from STMicroelectronics • They modulate and demodulate, respectively, between analogue audio signals to FM signals
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) • The front end of the circuit • Gain of 0-40dB • Gain given by GLNA (dB) = 20.Log(1+RLNA2/RLNA1)
Automatic Level Control (ALC) • Prevents over modulation • Reduces distortion and keeps reduced transmit spectrum • 20dB gain at 700mVp-p
Voice Operated Transmit (VOX) • Mutes output when no audio signal is present • Can be bypassed if needed
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) • Controls the internal oscillator • Has high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR)
LNA • Another LNA amplifies the input from the IR receivers, this time with a gain of about 22dB
AMP and LIM • Amplifier and limiter, with gains of 20dB and 60dB respectively amplify the signal and provide a constant amplitude to the FM Demodulator
FM Demodulator • Demodulates the FM signal back into audio signals • Uses a tank circuit and a multiplier to help do this
Squelch section • Prevents FM noise from getting to the speakers when no audio signal is present • Uses RC filter to isolate FM noise, then integrated with a capacitor to connected to MUTE-INT pin. Provides DC level based on noise • Mutes both outputs if noise is only signal present
