Abstract

To permit transmission of traffic information by amplitude modulation in the medium wave band without disturbing audio signals being broadcast, a stereo pilot tone of frequency fpt below audible range is generated, as well as first and second sinusoidal signals of f1 =m1 /n⋅fpt and f2 =m2 /n⋅fpt, in which m1, m2, and n are different integers. The carrier is modulated by the stereo pilot tone and the first and second sinusoidal signals in such a manner that the phases thereof are different and further, when added, they do not essentially exceed the amplitude of the stereo pilot tone.
