INTRODUCTION II. DRM+ SYSTEM PARAMETER DRM+ (Digital Radio Mondiale, Mode E) is an extension The DRM+ system uses Orthogonal Frequency Division of the long, medium and shortwave DRM standard up to Multiplex (OFDM) modulation with different Quadrature Band III. It has been approved in the ETSI (European Amplitude Modulation (QAM) constellations as subcarrier Telecommunications Standards Institute) DRM standard [1] modulation. The additional use of different code rates result for frequencies up to 174 MHz. Field trials with DRM+ in data rates from 40 to 186 kbps with up to 4 audio streams were conducted in Hannover and Kaiserslautern [2] in Band or data channels.

  • Latest Transmitter Technology for VHF Band
    Broadcasting and audio/video technology | Transmitter systems Latest transmitter technology for VHF band III Radio and television are celebrating a comeback in VHF band III as the UHF band is increasingly dedicated to other applications such as wireless communications. With the R&S®TMV9 medium-power transmitters and the R&S®THV9 high-power transmitters, network operators are now able to use the latest technology in this frequency band, too. Broadcasting in VHF band III is gaining new momentum Terrestrial broadcasting transmitters for UHF bands IV/V have somewhat overshad- owed transmitters for VHF band III over the past few years. That’s changing with the digital dividend, which has brought increased significance to band III for ana- log and digital TV as well as for digital audio broadcasting. This is because regula- tory authorities in many countries have instructed broadcast network operators to release frequencies in the UHF band so that they can be available for other appli- cations such as wireless communications. Free channels in VHF band III can be used for analog and digital TV. In addition, digital audio broadcasting in line with Fig. 1: Liquid-cooled R&S®THV9 high-power the DAB(+) standard will be implemented in this band. DAB(+) networks are being VHF transmitter featuring 5.2 kW output power expanded in some regions, while new, nationwide networks are being built in oth- from four amplifiers. ers. Broadcasting in VHF band III is gaining momentum. To accommodate this transition, Rohde & Schwarz has announced two new com- pact transmitter families that provide network operators with peak values in energy efficiency, power density and flexibility.

  • NDS Response to Consultation on Issues Relating to Mobile TV Services
    NDS Response to Consultation Paper on Issues Relating to Mobile TV Services Promoting a Level Playing Field NDS believes in and has consistently promoted a level playing field for all types of delivery platform in India – using cable, DTH satellite, IPTV, microwave distribution, powerline, terrestrial, wireless and yet to be developed technologies. NDS welcomes any regulatory development that will facilitate the growth of new free-to- air and pay TV services, provided that the regulatory development will not: • significantly impair the ability of content providers and platform operators to make reasonable returns on their investments, nor • significantly favour one type of service platform or delivery method over the others, or disfavour one compared to the others. NDS recognises that broadcast mobile TV is inherently a different type of service to the other broadcast TV services delivered to “fixed” devices, and that it is at a very early stage of deployment worldwide compared to such services. Broadcast mobile TV is still at a nascent stage, with at least ten delivery technologies1 and fewer than twenty commercially launched services to date. The technology fragmentation is thus far greater than that for either digital television broadcasting or 2G or 3G mobile telephony in their launch phases. Moreover, while DVB-H leads in terms of number of trials and services, the 1seg (ISDB-T), T-DMB and S-DMB technologies are way ahead of DVB-H in terms of usage, delivering mobile TV to over 11.7 million2, 6 million3 and 1.2 million users or subscribers respectively. It thus appears too early to pick winning technologies.

  • ECC Report 177
    ECC Report 177 Possibilities for Future Terrestrial Delivery of Audio Broadcasting Services April 2012 ECC REPORT 177 – Page 2 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Report considers the possibilities for continuing Radio Broadcasting into the future. While recognising that technological developments are opening a wide range of potential platforms for the distribution of audio content, it is felt that ‘terrestrial’ distribution with strategically placed transmitters simultaneously serving a large number of independent receivers will continue. This is particularly true for portable and mobile reception. With this in mind, this document concentrates on terrestrial distribution platforms and especially the relevant digital technologies that exist and are being developed. Radio is now very much a medium which can be, and is, accessed by an audience where a large portion is either mobile or doing something else. The motorist is a good example of this. The report looks at how this audience might be served in the future. While, in the past, conventional terrestrial radio broadcasting was the only viable way to serve this audience, technological convergence and changing habits mean that other platforms such as mobile broadband, satellites and wired infrastructures can now be used under the right circumstances. In spite of this, terrestrial broadcasting does offer certain advantages and it is felt that this will continue for the foreseeable future. Terrestrial broadcasting is itself changing with the advent of digital modulation systems. The report goes on to compare and contrast these modulation systems in some detail, looking at the strengths and weaknesses of each one. This is against the background considerations of audience size, geographical concentration and demographics, and how each system is able to exploit the available spectrum.

Radio broadcasting1 is one of the most popular and affordable means for mass communication, largely owing to its wide coverage, low set up costs, terminal portability and affordability. 1.2 At present, analog terrestrial radio broadcast in India is carried out in Medium Wave (MW) (526–1606 KHz), Short Wave (SW) (6–22 MHz), and VHF-II (88–108 MHz) spectrum bands. VHF-II band is popularly known as FM band due to deployment of Frequency Modulation (FM) technology in this band. AIR - the public service broadcaster - has established 467 radio stations encompassing 662 radio transmitters, which include 140 MW, 48 SW, and 474 FM transmitters for providing radio broadcasting services2. It also provides overseas broadcasts services for its listeners across the world. 1.3 Until 2000, AIR was the sole radio broadcaster in the country. In the year 2000, looking at the changing market dynamics, the government took an initiative to open the FM radio broadcast for private sector participation. In Phase-I of FM Radio, the government auctioned 108 FM radio channels in 40 cities. Out of these, only 21 FM radio channels became operational and subsequently migrated to Phase-II in 2005.

    ECC Report 230 Harmonisation Possibilities for Assistive Listening Devices in the Band 174-216 MHz Approved May 2015 ECC REPORT 230 - Page 2 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Report focusses on analogue FM modulated ALD systems with a 100% duty cycle and a bandwidth of ≤50 kHz (dominantly 25 kHz) and an effective radiated power (e.r.p.) of max. 10mW. Assistive Listening Devices systems transmit the acoustic signal from the sound source (e.g. a teacher, loudspeaker or pupils talking) directly to a hearing impaired person. It is not expected that these ALD systems will become digital in the foreseeable future due to the lack of the capture ratio provided by FM systems which allows closer frequency re-use, e.g. needed in a school with a multiple class room equipped environment. There is also the challenge of the latency present in digital systems and potentially less efficient frequency re-use. This Report investigates the possible use of the 174-216 MHz band as a tuning range by ALD, primarily in schools and educational establishments, to relieve the current congestion issues in the frequency band 173.35 MHz to 175.05 MHz and has concluded that use of unused channels in this band is possible on a license exempt basis. All ALD and wireless microphones in the terrestrial broadcast band III use the ETSI harmonised standard EN 300 442 [4]. ALD equipment including the most typically usage scenario in schools is described in section 2 of this Report. The frequency band 174-216 MHz is also used by PMSE applications.
