DRM+ performance measurement in laboratory test environment

Abstract

Korea is considering digitizing analog radio broadcasting service. According to this consideration, various tests have been executed for existing digital radio broadcasting standards in both laboratory and field environments. Among the existing digital radio standards, DRM+ is the newest standard. Therefore, performance evaluation results are required to check the rational operating performance. In this paper, we present the DRM+ test results in laboratory test. Since the laboratory test have various test items, multilateral results are depicted. Index Terms-DRM+, laboratory test.

Laboratory Trials and Evaluations of In-Band Digital Radio Technologies: HD Radio and DRM+

“…In-band methods have an advantage in that it is possible to smoothly convert analog radio service into digital radio service in existing analog frequency bands. However, there is a restriction in data throughput, and the interference issue is very knotty problem because of coexistence with analog FM broadcastings [13]- [17].…”
