Method for Improved AM Broadcast Reception

INVENTION REFERENCE NUMBER

200100909

  • Energy and Utilities

A method for improved AM broadcast reception is described. It provides for the effective elimination of audible and even sub-audible beats between the local (desired) station’s carrier signal and one or more distant station’s carriers, usually received via skywave propagation during the evening and nighttime hours. These carrier-beat components cause annoying modulations of the desired station’s audio at the receiver, and concurrent distortion of the audio modulation from the distant station(s). As a result, listeners often “tune out” due to poor reception quality.
