Abstract:
1. A signal receiver for receiving a signal including a RDS signal component, comprising: a single downconversion unit configured to convert a received signal to a baseband signal; a first signal path for said baseband signal, said first signal path being located downstream said downconversion unit and including a first highpass filter unit configured to filter said baseband signal and to generate a highpass filtered signal, and a frequency synchronization unit configured to derive, from said highpass filtered signal, a frequency synchronization carrier signal; a second signal path for said baseband signal located downstream said downconversion unit, whereby in said second signal path, the baseband signal's frequency is modified in accordance with said frequency synchronization carrier signal to obtain a synchronized baseband signal; and a splitting unit located downstream said downconversion unit and located upstream said first and second signal paths and configured to directly receive the baseband signal from the downconversion unit and to directly split the baseband signal into the first highpass filter unit, of the first signal path, and the second signal path.
