Abstract
A differential demodulator that is particularly suited for a digital audio broadcasting (DAB) system, and more particularly to the Eureka-147 (DAB) system, is disclosed. The differential demodulator of the present invention receives complex data components I and Q derived from a fast fourier transform operation and converts the data components I and Q into differential data components .DELTA.I and .DELTA.Q that are accepted by data demodulating elements of the Eureka-147 system so as to be reconstructed as digital data which, in turn, are converted into an analog form that is converted and reproduced into corresponding high quality sound. The conversion of I and Q data into .DELTA.I and .DELTA.Q data is accomplished via a network of four ROMs and one RAM, wherein the ROMs are time-shared between the multiple carriers of the Eureka-147 system.
