Article: Simple sine synthesizer generates 19-kHz pilot tone for FM baseband signal.(design ideas)

A MULTIPLEX SIGNAL comprises baseband information transmitted on a stereo analog FM-broadcast system, plus one or more SCA (Subsidiary Communications Authorization) channels (Figure 1). This Design Idea presents a low-cost method of generating the basic 19-kHz pilot tone. The 19-kHz pilot tone comprises a baseband signal, and the L + R and L - R signals consist of DSBSC (double-sideband-suppressed-carrier) modulation centered at 38 kHz. For a receiver to correctly demodulate the signal, the transmitted pilot tone and L - R signal must synchronize at their respective zero crossings. In addition, any distortion in the pilot tone produces harmonics that can interfere with ...
