Digital filter banks let a cable amplifier alternate upstream and downstream bands, cutting interference and avoiding complex echo cancellation.
Separating dialog and non-dialog audio enables user-tuned loudness balance with automatic long- and short-term correction for listening comfort.
Digital filter banks let a cable amplifier alternate upstream and downstream over overlapping bands, cutting interference and echo-cancellation load.
Adaptive driver circuitry lowers ultrasonic amplitude and reshapes pulses during loud audio to reduce intermodulation distortion.
Inaudible reference tones reveal system AGC over time, letting recordings recover original dynamics without hardware changes.
Short- and long-term gain matching aligns analog and digital audio loudness, smoothing IBOC blend transitions and reducing abrupt level shifts.
Low-frequency impedance sensing lets an application processor cut speaker power before overheating or overload, avoiding costly ADC-based protection.
Stored gain settings from idle periods define a restricted AGC range during payload reception, limiting saturation from random interferers.
Inaudible pilot tones track AGC changes during recording, allowing audio apps to infer gain history and restore original dynamics.
Position-based current vectoring across multiple voice coils compensates DMP drift and non-linear magnetic coupling in acoustic transducers.
Short- and long-term loudness averaging aligns analog and digital IBOC audio levels to avoid abrupt, harsh blend transitions.
Stored loudness values for each audio source keep volume consistent across stations without pumping, abrupt changes, or manual adjustment.
