Stereo decoder circuit. In FM stereo transmission left and right channels are algebraically encoded into sum (left + right) and difference (left-right) signals. This is done in order to make the mono FM receivers compatible with the stereo transmission. The mono receiver will reproduce the summed left and right channel and the listener will hear both these channels through a single loud speaker. Stereo decoder is a circuit which is used in stereo FM receivers in order to recover the left and right channel information from the composite transmission signal. This task is achieved by adding the difference signal to…
