Method and device for optimizing the radiofrequency power of an fm radiobroadcasting transmitter

Abstract

A method for optimising the transmission power of an FM radio broadcasting transmitter includes sampling a signal representative of the audio content to be broadcasted by the FM radio broadcasting transmitter; continuously calculating the constituent parameters of the representative signal from frequency, amplitude, dynamic range, temporal distribution, energy and power; continuously analysing the parameters by comparison with a model of psycho-acoustic data; generating a controlling signal for controlling the power of the transmitter as a function of the results of the analysis and of the calculations allowed by the constituent parameters and the continuous psycho-acoustic data; driving of the RF power of the transmitter by means of the controlling signal. A device for implementing the method in an FM radio broadcasting transmitter is also proposed.
