Goals

Introduction DRM DAB DVB Conclusion

• Basic understanding of digital broadcasting• General description of DRM, DAB, DVB• Current developments in Switzerland


• at each time (t) – a certain exact signal level (y)

• amplitude (y) vs time (t) is a continuous function

• world around us is analogue

Analogue & digital - what is it ?

Digital signal

• changes of y - only at determined moments

• amplitude (y) vs time (t) is a discrete function

• computer world is digital

• Radio

Digital broadcasting technologies

• Television

- FM: UKW

- AM: LW / MW / SW



• Is being developed to replace analogue LW, MF and SW radio below 30 MHz

• Designed as a flexible system able to overcome adverse propagation conditions – deep and long fades, echoes and multipath

• Has a variety of audio and channel coding options and modulation schemes to copy with different channel bandwidth requirements

• Is unidirectional → return channel is not possible• Data rate is limited (16 kbs) → CD sound quality is not

reached

• There is no DRM stations operation on the territory of Switzerland

• Reception of signals from foreign stations is possible

DRM in Switzerland



• Supersedes FM• Gives spectrum efficiency • 1.5 Mbs channel → provides CD sound quality• Allows transmission of data (multimedia) services

(e.g. traffic information, stock market information, programme details, etc)

• Uses OFDM modulation → very robust

Digital Audio Broadcasting




• Something of a sleeping beauty since 2000- Low public acceptance of T-DAB: expensive and

limited receivers, no portable and handheld receivers in 2000, copying of FM service

• FM is exhausted- FM transmission networks can not be further

expanded without a significant loss of quality• DAB receivers became available

- Low price receivers for portable reception

• Strict non-ionising radiation requirements in CH- Demand for new distribution technologies that

produce less electromagnetic radiation

DAB in Switzerland



• Portable indoor reception

• Replaces current analogue television service• Provides new concepts: single frequency networks• Gives better spectrum efficiency• Can carry much more than just TV (electronic program

guide; internet service; multimedia data, news, weather; interactive services; software updates, games)

Summary


TTERRESTRIAL

• Broadcasting future is digital because of (but not only):- spectrum efficiency- cost reduction- enhanced quality- service added value

• DVB-T is a hot topic in Europe now
