Philips Semiconductors
Decoder for traffic warning (VWF) radio
transmissions
Preliminary specification
TDA1581T
FEATURES
• Selective subcarrier amplifier (57 kHz) with gain control
• Transmitter identification signal (SK) decoder
• Area identification signal (BK) and announcement
identification signal (DK) active filtering
• BK and DK decoders (Schmitt trigger with switched
hysteresis)
• BK and DK switch-on/switch-off delay circuits
• SK and BK control outputs.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA1581T decoder is for radio transmissions having
57 kHz amplitude-modulated subcarriers as used in the
german ‘Verkehrs Warnfunk’ (VWF) traffic warning
system.
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
Measured in Fig.3 at ViSK = 8 mV; f = 57 kHz amplitude modulated with fm = 34.95 Hz and m = 60% for ‘BK-traffic area
C’ signal; or with fm = 125 Hz and m = 30% for DK signal
