Abstract

For the purpose of largely suppressing the noise pulses caused in a stereo radio receiver in the reception signal, particularly by the ignition system of a motor vehicle, a digital field strength signal representing the analog field strength signal is produced for example by digitizing the analog field strength signal. The scanning values of the digital audio signal, for example of the (L+R) signal, are produced by interpolation for at least as long as the digital field strength signal is outside a presettable tolerance range.
