Abstract
A vehicle includes a plurality of broadcast reception antennae; a speaker; and an audio-video-navigation (AVN) device electrically connected to the plurality of broadcast reception antennae and the speaker; wherein the AVN device is configured to receive broadcast signals of a plurality of different frequencies from the plurality of broadcast reception antennae, synthesize the broadcast signals of different frequencies, and provide the synthesized broadcast signal to the speaker to output a sound corresponding to the synthesized broadcast signals.
Claims18
A vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of broadcast reception antennae;
- a speaker;
- and
- an audio-video-navigation (AVN) device electrically connected to the plurality of broadcast reception antennae and the speaker;
- wherein the AVN device is configured to:
- receive broadcast signals of a plurality of different frequencies from the plurality of broadcast reception antennae,
- synthesize the broadcast signals of the plurality of different frequencies, and
- provide the synthesized broadcast signal to the speaker to output a sound corresponding to the synthesized broadcast signals, and
- wherein the AVN device is further configured to:
- shift a frequency of a first broadcast signal to an intermediate frequency (IF),
- shift a frequency of a second broadcast signal to the IF, and
- synthesize the first broadcast signal of the IF and the second broadcast signal of the IF.
A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising steps of:
- receiving a plurality of broadcast signals of a plurality of different frequencies from a plurality of broadcast reception antennae of the vehicle;
- synthesizing the broadcast signals of the plurality of different frequencies;
- and
- outputting a sound corresponding to the synthesized broadcast signals,
- wherein the synthesizing comprises:
- shifting a frequency of a first broadcast signal to an intermediate frequency (IF),
- shifting a frequency of a second broadcast signal to the IF, and
- synthesizing the first broadcast signal of the IF and the second broadcast signal of the IF.
An audio video navigation (AVN) device provided in a vehicle, the AVN device comprising:
- a broadcast receiver configured to obtain a plurality of broadcast signals of different frequencies from a plurality of broadcast reception antennae of the vehicle;
- and
- a processor configured to synthesize the broadcast signals of the plurality of different frequencies and provide a speaker of the vehicle to output a sound corresponding to the synthesized broadcast signals,
- wherein the broadcast receiver comprises:
- a first frequency synthesizer configured to shift a frequency of a first broadcast signal to an intermediate frequency (IF);
- and
- a second frequency synthesizer configured to shift a frequency of a second broadcast signal to the IF, and
- wherein the processor synthesizes the first broadcast signal of the IF and the second broadcast signal of the IF.
