Balogh in 1973-75 in Decatur Illinois at the General Electric advance developement lab. We were working on the next thing at the time - quadraphonic FM. We were preparing for FCC field trials and production prototypes. I left the team in 75 so I don't know what ever happened. I think interest for quad FM dropped and so was the project.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305485135019238621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-54592245540166000632018-08-06T23:56:46.022-05:002018-08-06T23:56:46.022-05:00That was my father in the picture.

He invented a method of broadcasting 2 channels of audio in one FM signal that was backward compatible with existing monaural FM receivers. The 2 channels were combined into a monaural signal so that listeners would not miss any of the information in the signal. On the other hand if you bought a new FM Stereo receiver the 2 channels would be split back into a Left and Right signal. At the time there were several companies developing different methods to do the same thing and the FCC picked his system as the best performing one. It became the US standard and later a world standard and it is still in use today even in this digital age.
