Hi!

There is "Scale Remove DC" block in the FMReceiver block diagram (attached).

Why do we need to filter DC and why do we need to scale the signal samples?

What happens if we do not filter DC?

What happens if we do not scale the signal samples?

Thanks!

DC-Block: Just think about what will happen if you connect a headphone at the end with an dc-OFFSET.
In my point of view, scaling in this case is similar to amplify. Maybe the output power level is insufficient.
 

I think that output of "Stereo Formation" block is connected to the chain: DAC -> LPF -> amplifier -> headphone.
As a rule, amplifier have capacitor on input to filter DC. So, why is it important to filter DC by DSP?

The output power level is insufficient for what? :)
 

Ok, so in this case the dc-offset maybe disturb the deemphasis or stereo formation. In stereo-formation also the dc-offsets are summed and subtracted. And maybe you get a range problem if you have twice the dc-offset + signal. Scale can be used to to normalize the signal, based on some algorithm, to full range.
