Abstract

A switched capacitor pilot cancellation circuit included in an FM stereo decoder signal path which substantially eliminates the 19 kHz pilot from the FM composite by subtracting a reconstructed pilot frequency signal from the FM composite. The reconstructed pilot signal is obtained by applying the DC output voltage of a pilot magnitude detector to a switched capacitor network which is sampled by clock signals which convert the DC to 19 kHz.
