Abstract

A demodulator (10) converts television signals to video baseband signals and audio baseband signals including stereo signals representing a right channel signal value, a left channel signal value and a pilot signal having an amplitude. A DSP (60) recursively finds a coefficient value for scaling that keeps the pilot signal amplitude within a range of values, there by improving baseband signal quality, such as stereo separation of stereo signals within the baseband signals.
