<h2>Model CQS-4 C-QUAM® Synthesizer</h2></center>
<hr>
<h3>Direct Digital Synthesis of Precision Test Signals</h3>
Delta Electronics, Inc. is a licensed manufacturer of C-QUAM® Exciters and Monitors for compatible AM Stereo transmission by AM broadcast stations. Delta engineers found that no primary reference generator of satisfactory accuracy was available for the development, calibration and testing of this equipment. The CQS series of synthesizers uses direct digital synthesis to produce the precision test signals required. The Model CQS-4 incorporates a high output amplifier and 63 dB programmable attenuator to increase the capabilities over earlier versions. The CQS-4 and earlier models are currently used in testing stereo decoder integrated circuits, calibrating modulation monitors, production testing of C-QUAM receivers and as a primary reference for the manufacture of C-QUAM stereo exciters. The synthesizer is manufactured under U.S. Patent Number 4,758,971.

<h3>Typical Performance Characteristics</h3>
<h4>Pattern Accuracy:</h4>
The synthesizer is intended as a primary reference for testing C-QUAM circuitry and components. To our knowledge, there is no equipment capable of resolving the accuracy of the patterns. Particular attention to the design of the synthesizer circuitry has minimized known sources of error: quantizing error, D/A settling time error, strobe phase jitter, etc. The following data are believed to reasonably represent the pattern accuracy for modulation frequencies of 500, 1000, and 2000 Hz.
<blockquote>
<table cellspacing=4 cellpadding=0>
<tr><td>L+R High Order Sidebands:</td><td>-65 dB</td></tr>
<tr><td>L, R THD:</td><td>.2% or less</td></tr>
<tr><td>L+R THD:</td><td>.1% or less</td></tr>
<tr><td>L/R, R/L Separation:</td><td>50 dB</td></tr>
<tr><td>L+R IPM:</td><td>-50 dB</td></tr>
</table>
</blockquote>
<h4>Pattern Stability:</h4>
As opposed to an analog circuitry, the digital synthesis approach used in the synthesizer has very high long term stability and repeatability. There are no critical circuit adjustments to vary.
