3. Application Fields of the MSP 3400C
The MSP 3400C processes TV sound according to the
German and Korean two carrier system and the com-
monly used satellite systems. In the following sections,
a brief overview on the German FM-Stereo system
shows what is required of a multistandard audio IC.
3.1. German 2-Carrier System (DUAL FM System)
Since September 1981, stereo and dual sound pro-
grams have been transmitted in Germany using the
2-carrier system. Sound transmission consists of the al-
ready existing first sound carrier and a second sound
carrier additionally containing an identification signal.
More details of this standard are given in Table 3–1.
