View Full Version : HOW DRM handles skywave propagation (digital radio mondiale)


October 1st 07, 02:15 AM
This is copied directly from the DRM User Guide:

"For ionospheric propagation, the most severe Doppler spread is
observed in the case of Near Vertical Incidence Sky-wave (NVIS)
propagation. Because the path lengths between transmitter and
receiver are quite short for NVIS, the distances between the
ionospheric layers represent a larger proportion of the total path
length. The several reflections can also have similar energy levels.
This gives rise to significant values of Doppler spread.

"To counter the effects of Doppler shift and Doppler spread the
frequency separation between the OFDM carriers in the DRM signal is
progressively increased (e.g. the carrier spacing in Mode D is more
than 2.5 times that in Mode A). This ensures that the frequency
spread experienced is kept to a sufficiently small fraction of the
carrier spacing to allow correct demodulation."

Digital Radio Mondiale *is* IBOC. (Like HD Radio, it sits right next-
door to the AM signal, widening the channel by a few more kilohertz)

A few kilohertz here, a few kilohertz there, pretty soon you have
"real money" -- channel overlap a.k.a. harmful interference as
defined in communications law.

SFTV -aka- "Hybrid Digital" Man,

DOH ! - You had beeter go back and re-do your
DRM 101 and IBOC 101 Classes again. ~ RHF

Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Radio_Mondiale
Unique Digital Broadcast Signal Mode {Non-Analog AM}

In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) so called "HD" Radio
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBOC
Combined Analog and Digital Broadcast Signal Modes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio

DRM is All Digital Mode of Shortwave (HF) Radio Transmission
http://www.eiinfo.fh-konstanz.de/download/drm/image35.jpg

DRM Digital Signal at 13,790 kHz with AM Analog
http://shortwaveradio.org/drm_13_Af_010511_2100.jpg
Signals at 13770 kHz; 13800 kHz; and 13810 kHz.
* Clearly you can see that DRM requires at least
15 kHz of Channel "Spacing" for it not to interfere
with any 'adjacent' DRM or Analog Radio Broadcast.

Note - That the DRM Shortwave Radio Broadcasts are
independent and separate from the older Analog "AM"
Radio Transmission Mode Broadcasts.
* International, National and Local DRM Broadcasts
Underway in Markets Worldwide
http://www.drm.org/livebroadcast/livebroadcast.php

>From what I have read and heard DRM appears to work
best as a Directed Beam Radio {Audio} Delivery System
up to 1000 Miles and out to 2500 Miles.
* DRM Tropical Band {With-In-Country} Omni-Directional
Radio Broadcasting best up to 300 Miles and out to 1000
Miles.

Analog "AM" And DRM Can Not Co-Exist On The Same
Channel {Frequency} At The Same Time [.]

As with all Shortwave Radio Broadcasting the Coordinated
Scheduling of Broadcast Time and Frequency is important
for DRM Broadcasters since they take up Four Times (4X)
the Bandwidth as the Analog "AM" Broadcasters.

You are dumb. DRM has a hybrid digital/analog mode. See this manual,

No, the manual does not state
"DRM has a hybrid digital/analog mode".
A simulcast is not necessarily hybrid.
I also cannot find any affirmation on your statement
Notice how the DRM sits "in-band on-channel".

RHF dumb?
Don't think so.
Take a good look on that page 20 of the manual.

[quote]
DRM supports a number of different simulcast options. Currently the
supported simulcast modes require the use of additional spectrum outside
an assigned 9 or 10 kHz channel (Multi-Channel or Multi-frequency
Simulcast, MCS). The DRM signal can be located in the next adjacent
upper or lower channel and can occupy a half or whole channel
depending on the bandwidth option chosen.
[unquote]

So far nothing about IBOC.
In general, a simulcast is a simultaneous transmission of the same
programme. Here, both transmissions are located in two adjacent
channels, the DRM transmitter operating with less power than the
analogue signal transmitter.

[quote]
(..) a satisfactory compromise can be obtained when the DRM power
level is around 14-16 dB below the adjacent analogue signal.
[unquote]

Unfortunately, operating on two adjacent frequencies (channels) may
give rise to interference problems. With IBOC no such problems
would occur, isn't it?
Now read the following about a possible DRM-future...

[quote]
In an ideal world it would also be possible to transmit both an analogue
and a digital signal within the same channel (9 or 10 kHz) so that the
analogue service could be received, without interference from the
digital signal, on any analogue receiver.
[unquote]

With only one transmission there would be no interference,
so in the real world anno 2007 interference may arise and
DRM is not IBOC.
The statement "DRM is not IBOC" is also apparent from
some other quotes from page 20:

[quote]
(..) promising proposals for a SCS (Single Channel Simulcast)
option are currently being evaluated (..)
Even if single channel simulcast may prove a difficult goal to

Make it: all DRM broadcasts.
A simultaneous AM transmission on an adjacent channel
does not make the DRM transmission less digital.

HtH - I am so sorry - I can not correct you
-cause- you ain't wrong. ~ RHF

Yes HtH - You Are Right "DRM -Ain't- IBOC" !

SFTV -aka- "Hybrid Digital" Man,

Here are a few more thoughs to consider :

DRM 'may' have the Analog "AM" Signal along-side
'Adjacent-To the Digital Signal. {Two Unque Functions}
-NOTE- This uses up even more Bandwidth then
DRM alone.
-IMHO- The better approach for DRM would be to
have the separate Digial and Analog "Simulcast"
Signals 'spaced' 50 kHz apart so that each of the
two independant Broadcast Signal would have no
chance of interferring with each other; and the DRM
Signal could be Transmitted at Full Power.
-Remember- DRM is a single Mode of Transmission.
-Also Note- DRM Radio/Receivers are Manual
Single Mode Operation.

IBOC has the Analog "AM" Signal 'nested' in-between
the Two Outer Digital Side-Bands : By-Design and is
Bi-Modal 100% of the time. {Functions in Tandem}
-Remember- IBOC is a Dual Transmission Mode.
-Also Note- IBOC Radio/Receivers are Automatic
Dual Mode Operation.

You had "beeter" try reading the wikipedia article you site. Read
it. Quote: "A full 10 kHz channel for AM, plus a 5 kHz half-channel
sideband for DRM."

That's in-band on-channel mode.

IBOC.

By that reasoning, HD Radio is not a hybrid format, because the
digital information sits *next to* the AM signal.

HD Radio is a simulcast format.

Okay. By that reasoning, because HD Radio sits "next to" the AM
signal, then it is not IBOC either. It is a simulcast format.

Do you agree with that statement?

SFTV -aka- "Hybrid Digital" Man,

If you continue to argue that DRM 'is' IBOC : Then clearly some
people on this Shortwave Radio Newsgroup are going to call to
question your educational claims and technical expertise as
an "EE".

One Again Please Read :

Note- The 'operative word here is 'may'.

DRM 'may' have the Analog "AM" Signal along-side
'Adjacent-To {as an Adjunct to} the Digital Signal.
{Two Unque and Separate Functions}
-NOTE- This uses up even more Bandwidth then DRM
alone and DRM alone uses up more Bandwidth then
Analog "AM" alone.
PLUS - The DRM Digital Signal Level Must be 'reduced'
so that it will not Interfere with the Simulcast of the
Analog "AM" Signal.
-IMHO- The better approach for DRM would be to
have the separate Digial and Analog "Simulcast"
Signals 'spaced' 50 kHz apart so that each of the
two independant Broadcast Signal would have no
chance of interferring with each other; and the DRM
Signal could be Transmitted at Full Power.
-Remember- DRM is a single Mode of Transmission.
-Also Note- DRM Radio/Receivers are Manual
Single Mode Operation and you would have to Tune to
each of the DRM or Analog "AM" Signals independly.

BY-DESIGN - IBOC has the Analog "AM" Signal
'nested' in-between the Two Outer Digital Side-Bands
and is Always 100% of the time Bi-Modal.
{Always Functions in Tandem : Analog and Digital}
-Remember- IBOC is a Dual Transmission Mode.
-Also Note- IBOC Radio/Receivers are Automatic
Dual Mode Operation; allowing you to Tune to a Single
Frequency and Receive either the Digital or Analog
when available. {True IBOC and not just a Simulcast}

Please refer to the DRM Manual -wrt- IBOC
www.drm.org/pdfs/Broadcast_Manual.pdf
Pages 19, 43 and 58 apply.

Wikipedia is 'Readers Digest' version of "What DRM Is"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Radio_Mondiale

IBOC is a Single Frequency Broadcasting "Technology"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBOC
In-Band On-Channel (IBOC)

Simulcast is a Dual Frequency Broadcasting "Concept"

Please Understand that a Pure {100%} DRM "Digital" Signal;
which the majority of DRM Shortwave Broadcasting 'is' - Is a
Single Signal and hence can not be consider IBOC. They do
NOT Transmit any Analog along with the DRM Digital Signal.

- By that reasoning, HD Radio is not a hybrid format, because

SFTV -aka- "Hybrid Digital" Man,

As and "EE", your above Statement is NOT Correct nor Clear
and it does not represent the Technical Specification {Facts}
of both iBiquity's IBOC and DRM. Please endeavor to be more
Factual and Accurate in your future representaions here.

Now For The Third Time :

iBiquity's IBOC Broadcast System is a Dual Mode Broadcasting
Scheme; with both the Analog AM and Digital Signals 'being'
"Intrinsic" to the Radio Transmission Process.

The Key Word Being : "Intrinsic"
http://www.answers.com/intrinsic&r=67

The DRM Broadcast System was initally designed and implemented
as a Single (1) Mode All Digital Broadcasting Scheme.

Note - Simulcasting and Analog AM Signal along with the Digital is
a 'possibility' but is NOT currently done on the Shortwave Radio
Band.

FWIW - The DRM Digital Signal 'may' be Broadcast along side
of an Analog AM Signal {Co-Channeled} -but- Both Signals are
Broadcast Separately and are 'independent' of each other; they
are NOT "Intrinsic" to each other as part of a Unified Radio
Broadcast System.

Caution - That the DRM Digital Signal has to be 'reduced' when
it is Broadcast along side an Analog AM Signal to prevent any
Interference to the Analog AM Signal.

The-Bottom-Line : Presently in the Shortwave Bands DRM
is Broadcast 'solely' in the 100% Digital Mode; as it was
designed to do.

for the third time or more - keeping it simple and practical ~ RHF

There is no technical difference. Both HD radio and DRM operate on
the same principles:
- 2 separate signals
- 1 analog
- 1 digital
- the digital is simulcast "next to" the original analog signal

That distinction is more about FAITH, than reality. There's no real
difference between DRM's version (sitting next-to the AM signal) and
HD's version (also sitting next-to the AM signal).

Neither sits their digital signal on-top of the AM!
That would not work.

I still don't see the difference. Both standards are using sidebands,
adjacent to the analog AM signal.

DRM is not using a sideband; to do analog and digital requires a separate
transmitter for each on a separate carrier frequency. HD is a combined
analog and digital signal on the same carrier frequency. DRM is digital
only... if you want analog, you have to have a separate channel, close to or
not to the DRM one.

Exactly. DRM is a separate signal that can go wherever the operator
chooses. He may elect to place it next to his AM transmitter or the
regulator may force him to place it there so any interference will be
to his own service. Whatever, the signal will appear at only one point
in the spectrum. It is not a sideband of the AM.

HD, on the other hand is an actual sideband of the AM carrier. There
are two digital channels available, the primary and the secondary.
Each of them occupies 5kHz either side of the AM carrier, the primary
from 10 to 15kHz, and the secondary from 5 to 10kHz. The HD signal is
irrevocably combined with its host AM service.

Ok, here is a difference you should understand. DRM uses two separate
transmitters and antennas one digital and one analog. HD uses two
different exciters one digital and the other analog that input into the
same transmitter and antenna at the same time.

I see your point, but that seems a trivial difference. Especially
since HD also uses a separate signal (exciter), separate from the
analog signal. "As with AM, FM stations may use separate exciters to
modulate the very different signals." - wikipedia.

Sounds like simulcast of two signals.

Not just one.

Why does DRM have to use two separate antennas? Why can't DRM use a
combiner and output both signals through a single antenna?

An exciter is simply a source of a signal which can be modulated onto
a carrier.

If you want an analogy, HD is a little like the stereo subcarrier on
an FM signal - not the same as the baseband signal, but an integral
part of the overall signal. DRM would be like transmitting the stereo
signal on another channel entirely, with its own transmitter.

The difference is far from trivial.

On the same carrier for HD, on separate carriers for DRM. DRM is a pure
digital system, and if analog is also employed, it is on a separate
allocation, close or not so close to the digital frequency.

Because the carrier frequencies are different... and because there is no
analog component to DRM... to do analog requires a separate station,
license, frequency.

IBOC was engineered from the get-go with compatible recievers in mind. The
receivers would autoswitch from the analog to the digital signal.

Was DRM engineered with such autoswitching receivers in mind?

Are any such autoswitching receivers currently available?

Obviously a DRM receiver can handle both analogue and
digital signals.
Once a DRM signal is received, all parallel frequencies of
the service are automatically stored in the receiver's memory.
If the signal becomes weak the receiver will automatically switch
to a better signal (if available), even in other bands.
With a small amount of digital information added to an existing
analogue AM broadcast (AMSS, AM Signalling System) the
receiver recognizes the alternative frequency information and
schedules for other DRM, DAB, AM and FM transmissions
carrying the same or related programme material.
When you tune in to an analoque AM transmission on 630 kHz
in the medium wave band the receiver could let you listening to
for instance a DRM broadcast on 9740 kHz on short wave.

That's interesting, and I can imagine that approach working well. There
would be no need for the adjacent channel digital interference which is
designed into IBOC.

So it looks like DRM can be better than IBOC.
