Evaluations and Measurements of a Single Frequency Network with DRM+

چکیده
This paper presents the first DRM+ (Digital Radio Mondiale, Mode E) Single Frequency Network (SFN) in the air. A field trial has been conducted to evaluate the performance in different environments. Due to it’s relatively small bandwidth, flat fading in the overlapping area can become a problem. Different solutions to overcome this problem are evaluated in this paper. Adding different delays to transmitters side-by-side is a solution to overcome the flat fading. In the field trial the error rates in the overlapping area in a two TX setup with delay were significantly smaller than without delay, the probability of deep fades was becoming smaller. This paper provides parameters for applying a Single Frequency Network with DRM+.

Iranian Permanent GPS Network Receivers Differential Code Biases Estimation Using Global Ionospheric Maps
Measurements of the dual frequency Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can be used to calculate the electron density and the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere layer of the Earth atmosphere. TEC is a key parameter for investigating the ongoing spatial and temporal physical process of the ionosphere. For accurate estimation of TEC from GPS measurements, GPS satellites and GPS r...
متن کاملDRM - the BBC World Service distribution chain
At the basic RF-channel level, DRM shares many characteristics with other modern systems such as DVB-T and DAB. It utilises Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) [1][2] to combat noise, narrowband fading and multipath. Broadcasts can be synchronized to support Single-Frequency Networks (SFNs) and Multi-Frequency Networks (MFNs). One DRM service normally occupies one AM channe...

Nowadays, navigation is an unavoidable fact in military and civil aerial transportations. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is commonly used for computing the orientation or attitude of a moving platform. The relative positions of the GPS antennas are computed using the GPS code and/or phase measurements. To achieve a precise attitude determination, Carrier phase observations of GPS requiring...

Due to the increase of users the efficient usage of spectrum plays an important role in digital terrestrial television networks. In digital video broadcasting, local and global content are transmitted by single frequency network and multifrequency network respectively. Multifrequency network support transmission of global content and it consumes large spectrum. Similarly local content are well ...
متن کاملStudy of Cyclic Delay Diversity for Single Frequency Network using DRM Standard
This paper presents a study of cyclic delay diversity (CDD) for a single frequency network (SFN) using digital radio mondiale (DRM) standard. Flat fading over the bandwidth can entirely disrupt the signal during several orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. In such conditions, channel encoding can only partially recover the sent information. In order to overcome this proble...
