Abstract
A simulcast broadcast uses digital signal processing techniques to scale pulse coded modulation samples of a signal for broadcast. Samples are adjusted to fully utilize all quantization levels representable by an 8-bit word. Time delay is adjustable using digital techniques by writing and reading data into and out of a RAM. Signal amplitude is adjustable by multiplying samples by a numeric factor. A computer can be used to adjust processing, delay and amplification of the digital signal processor.
