Simultaneous broadcasting of analog FM and digital audio signals bymeans of adaptive precanceling techniques

A method for broadcasting digital audio simultaneously with existing analog frequency modulation (FM) radio is presented. The method is based on precomputing the response of the host analog FM signal at the digital receiver and precanceling it at the transmitter. As a result, the digital transmission is free from interference from analog FM. We select the rate and power level of the digital transmission in a manner that the interference the digital data incur on the analog FM signal remains at acceptably low levels. The digital transmission is based on adaptive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) (adaptive multicarrier). The frequencies and number of carriers of the digital multicarrier modem are judiciously selected in a time-varying fashion so as to cause a negligible distortion in a standard receiver for analog FM. Simulations based on conservative nonoptimized signal design indicate that data rates up to about 130 kb/s inside the 200-kHz FM channel are achievable for acoustic test signals. We present a number of numerical examples where the average digital data use up to 50% of the 200-kHz power spectrum with digital signal power levels 25-35 dB below the analog signal. Due to the resulting variable-rate digital transmission, a control channel is required. A method of precanceling with multiple orthogonal direct-sequence spread-spectrum schemes is also presented     

Digital audio broadcasting in the FM band based on continuous phase modulation

A method for broadcasting digital audio signals simultaneously with existing analog frequency modulation radio (88-108 MHz) in adjacent channels is presented. The digital transmission is based on continuous phase modulation (CPM) and a proper reduced-state sequence estimator. With the proposed method, the power level and the symbol rate of the transmitter signal is determined in a manner that the interference the CPM signal poses for the analog FM signal in adjacent channels remains below a level according to the radio frequency emission mask defined by international rules. Due to the multipath propagation of the transmitted signal, the transmission behavior of the radio channel is determined by high dispersion up to 85 /spl mu/s. With the selected bit rate, the receiver has to cope with a channel memory of up to 17 bits. Since Viterbi detection is not feasible due to the number of channel states, detection is performed by a reduced-state sequence estimator that is able to eliminate the complete channel interference by decision feedback. Simulation results show that the detector almost achieves the detection quality of the optimum receiver. CPM achieves data rates of up to 200 kb/s inside a 200 kHz FM channel, which is sufficient for transmission of digital compressed audio signals at compact disc quality. The encouraging results of field tests will be published in another paper.     

Digital audio broadcasting: High-grade service quality through on-board processing techniques

A digital audio broadcasting (DAB) satellite system is presented here which provides a high-grade quality of service for some hundreds of channels. This, with minimum cost of the radio set and of the broadcasting station, greatly improves the radio broadcasting service throughout the world, especially in areas where deployment of conventional relay infrastructure is difficult and not yet cost-effective. Potential broadcasters located in the visible hemisphere can directly up-link their programming to the DAB satellites. Broadcasters can also copy each up-link channel and steer flexibility to any beam or combination of satellite beams. The paper illustrates the advantages and the feasibility of a DAB system based on geostationary satellites with on-board processing generating signals of MCPC (multiple channel per carrier) type. This multiplexing technique allows large system margins. This solution allows the satellite L-band TWTA amplifiers to be operated in saturation and eliminates the intermodulation noise associated with the transmission of FDMA channels. A powerful coding scheme has been selected to create a ‘robust’ down-link. In this way several high-power DAB channels of radio programming, with selectable data rate, are directly delivered to the users.

Compatibility of FM hybrid in-band on-channel (IBOC) system fordigital audio broadcasting

A robust in-band on-channel (IBOC) digital audio broadcast (DAB) system for improved performance over existing FM broadcasting is under development by Westinghouse for USA Digital Radio. Both the analog FM and the DAB signals are transmitted simultaneously in the FM hybrid IBOC system. Broadcasters can simultaneously transmit both analog and digital signals within the allocated channel mask, allowing full compatibility with existing analog receivers. It is shown here that the solution is tolerant of interference from adjacent channels, or interference from the co-channel analog transmission, even in a multiple station, strong-signal urban market. Although the primary focus of this paper is to discuss the compatibility issues between the existing FM and the DAB signals, the paper also briefly describes spectral occupancy, power ratios, modulation formats, and coding, as well as the introduction of frequency and time diversity     

Postcanceling techniques for simultaneous broadcasting of analog FM and digital data

We consider simultaneous broadcasting of low-power digital data and analog FM and present reliable receivers for the digital data. Due to the relatively low power level of the digital data and the interference suppression capability of analog FM, standard analog FM receivers can reliably recover the analog FM audio signal. To recover the digital data, an extended Kalman filter front end is developed that exploits the capture capability of analog FM to reconstruct and postcancel the analog FM component from the received composite signal. Simulations are conducted with artificial analog FM signals, suggesting that postcanceling schemes can provide higher data rates than their precanceling counterparts, at a lower transmission delay penalty but higher digital receiver complexity. For analog FM to digital signal power level ratios in the range of 30-50 dB, the postcanceler digital signal recovery appears fairly robust, providing digital signal-to-noise ratios of 2-7.5 dB. The corresponding uncoded bit error rates strongly depend on the power level difference between the host analog FM and the digital data signal. In particular, at 260 kb/s and E/sub b//N/sub o/=10 dB they range between 1% to about 15%, and can be reduced to acceptable levels using standard channel coding techniques.

Channel codes based on hidden puncturing with applications to hybrid in band on channel digital audio broadcasting systems

In this work, a new approach of designing channel codes for partial band interference channels based on "Hidden Puncturing" is introduced. This technique does not require explicit estimation of the interferer. We investigate the performance of specially designed rate 1/2 convolutional codes with Viterbi decoding and rate 1/2 Turbo codes in an example scenario with partial band FM interference. For comparison, we also give results for Turbo codes for schemes with no interference. We show by means of simulations that for Gaussian as well as for a variety of multipath fading profiles, a significant Turbo channel coding gain compared to a conventional Viterbi system can be achieved. Thereby the performance of optimal combining, which requires optimal estimation of the interferer, can be approached very closely in various scenarios.     

Multi-antenna scheme for high capacity transmission in the digital audio broadcasting

In this paper, we apply multi-antenna scheme to DAB system for high-rate transmission. In the MIMO-DAB system with a number of transmitting and receiving antennas increases the transmission rate efficiently with low multiplication operations. For channel estimation in the MIMO-DAB system, we propose a new PRS structure and evaluate the channel estimation performance. The proposed PRS structure can estimate multi-channel information based on the semi-blind processing. The performance of proposed PRS is compared with that of conventional training sequence employing Tarokh's transmission matrix. And also we investigate the performance limitation due to the imperfect channel estimation in a MIMO-DAB receiver. It has been shown that the MIMO-DAB system with multi-antennas can achieve the high-rate transmission for multimedia broadcasting and the performance of MIMO-DAB system is impaired by imperfect channel information.
