Overview

The trademarked DYNAS system is based on the same principles as the In Channel Select (ICS) system by H.u.C. Elektronik. The novel tracking filter arrangement was originally conceived by the German engineer Jens Hansen in 1982. The concept was prototyped as High Select in summer 1983. With funding from innovation funds of the city of Berlin, Hansen left Bosch/Blaupunkt to start, with companion Klaus Müller-Catito, his own company H.u.C. Elektronik in 1984. When licensing negotiations with his former employer failed, the system was marketed in the early 1990s as DYNAS by the German Telefunken electronic (a spin-off of AEG-Telefunken and DASA, firming as since 1992), who, with the related (the former AEG-Telefunken Halbleiterwerk in Heilbronn), also designed integrated circuits implementing the system, the TEMIC/TFK U4290B (stand-alone FM IF DYNAS system in 68-pin PLCC package), U4291B (DYNAS coprocessor) and U4292B (software-controlled DYNAS system in 44-pin SSO package). Compared to conventional receivers, DYNAS has a more than 26 dB better selectivity and a typically twice as good sensitivity (improved by 6 dB) thereby almost doubling the reception area and allowing to receive even extremely noisy stations. This is achieved by an adaptive bandwidth of the IF filter and by dynamically tracking of the center frequency of the IF filter in real-time. With a transmitter spacing of 200 kHz an undisturbed reception in stereo is possible, with 100 kHz a largely undisturbed mono reception is still possible. The principle has been adopted in some high-end FM tuners like the analog Burmester Tuner 915 (1991) or the digital synthesizer tuners Onkyo Integra T-4970 (1992 ) and T-488F (1993) as well as in various car radios, such as the Alpine 7619R (1989) and 1310R/3681 (1990), the JVC KS-CG10 (1992), the Clarion CRX121R (1993), CRX123R (1993), CRX121RM and CRX123RM, the Gelhard GXR 990S (1993) or the Conrad Soundcraft AR6800 DYNAS, which are particularly affected by difficult and rapidly changing reception conditions. https://www.rundfunkforum.de/viewtopic.php?t=15593
