DRM Deployment
General Observations
Digital Radio must be seamless and simple to operate for listeners
Technology will bring us multi-standard receivers
Common standards and applications have to be available for broadcasters
A Few Things To Remember
DRM: one broadcaster per frequency
International and national coverage required: DRM(30)
1-4 programs for a local/regional coverage area: DRM(+)
DRM30/DRM+ compatible and complimentary with other systems!
International big developments - Europe
DRM+ trials already successfully carried-out:
Band I (Paris 2009) future trials in band I and II
(planned by SNRL Sep 2010?)
Band II (Hannover, Kaiserslautern)
Currently ongoing trial: Band II & DRM30 - Brazil
Planned:
Sri Lanka
UK
Italy
South Korea

Nautel’s MW products have supported DRM30 for years
Currently NV (FM) transmitters 3.5-40 kW support DRM+
By end 2010 ALL remaining FM products will support DRM+
All Band II DRM+ trials have been done with Nautel equipment +
RFmondial Modulators & Fraunhofer IIS ContentServers
Working with partners to bring lower cost solutionswith more features to market
Nautel’s DRM+ Product Line
More choice for listeners up to 4 programmes on 1 frequency simulcast analog / digital
Excellent audio quality no distortion, no noise stereo and 5.1 surround sound
Multimedia applications rich media content sent along with DRM
Emergency warning and alert feature all receivers switch,
present audio and text information
What can DRM+ offer?
Automatic Tuning by station name, no longer by frequency re-tunes when leaving coverage area
Transmitter Power/Spectrum Efficiency green and energy efficient lower power required for same coverage as
analogue supporting SFN (single frequency networks) Fits in a single FM 100 kHz channel
Per-device Royalty cost: one-time license fees paid by manufacturer,
part of transmitter equipment cost
Global Interest as a Standard
What can DRM+ offer?
Introducing DRM+ to the FM Band
Recommended values:Δf = min. 150 kHzΔP >20 dB for Δf=150 kHz
SFN Support
(Single Frequency Network)
Efficient spectrum usage
Introduction scenarios:
Anywhere in the VHF bands
(seamless receiver switching)
Adjacent to linked FM signal:
DRM – More than audio
