- SCA.3
- Note that all the new junk -- pilot at 19KHz and A-B from 23 to 38 K
- -- are so high in frequency that most people wouldn't hear them, and
- most older monaural FM sets and loudspeakers won't reproduce them
- audibly anyway.
-
- Well, as if this wasn't bad enough, then along came the SCCA (I warned
- you about my warped sense of humor) and asked for authorization to put
- MUZAK on the air. The obvious thing to do was to put on yet another
- subcarrier, this time at a frequency far enough above the audio so that
- it wouldn't interfere with stereo broadcasting. 67 KHz was chosen as
- the magic frequency. But this time, FM modulation was chosen.
- Remember, all of this stuff is being stacked up in frequency above the
- normal monaural FM broadcast audio in such a way that a normal FM
- receiver won't be affected (much) by it. So before we even go into
- "composite audio" input of our simple FM transmitter, we have a VERY
- "composite" signal indeed. One might diagram it like this:
