Relations between distortion caused by multipath transmission and the essential parameters are analyzed for both monophonic and stereophonic FM sound broadcasting.
The parameters involved are DU ratio, delay time of the reflected wave in comparison with the direct wave, phase difference of these two carrier waves, modulation frequency and percentage of modulation.
Fast Fourier Transform processing technique is applied in the computer programme using which the complicated spectrum computation is carried out easily to allow a thorough analysis of multipath transmission phenomenon.
As a result, the complex nature of multipath distortion became clearly understandable. In addition, some considerations necessary for the better reception of FM sound broadcasting under the environment of multipath transmission are derived from the results of analysis.
