In this paper, we propose a detection method for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Plus suitable for hybrid mode broadcasting which services both DRM Plus and analog FM within the same frequency band. The guard-interval correlation method of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is good for DRM Plus signal detection, but the possibility for false alarm increases when FM signal is received. The proposed method includes a reference block in the guard-interval correlation which increases the identification rate of weak DRM Plus signals and decreases the possibility of false alarm when analog FM is received. The performance of the proposed method is verified through simulations.

본 논문에서는 동일 주파수 대역 내 DRM(Digital Radio Mondiale) Plus 신호와 FM(Frequeny Modulation) 신호가 모두 서비스 되는 Hybrid 방송 모드에 적합한 DRM Plus 신호 검출 기법을 제안한다. OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 신호의 Guard-Interval 상관 기법을 그대로 적용할 경우 DRM Plus 신호 검출 성능은 우수하나, FM 신호 수신 시 False Alarm 발생 확률이 증가하는 문제점이 발생한다. 제안한 방법은 Guard-Interval 상관 방법에 Reference 블록을 포함하고 있어, 약한 DRM Plus 신호에서도 판별 확률이 높고, 아날로그 FM 신호 수신 시 False Alarm이 발생할 확률이 낮은 특징이 있다. 모의 실험을 통하여 제안한 기법의 성능을 확인한다.

In this paper, a novel MDI(Multiplex Distribution Interface) analyzer is designed in Ethernet-mode for DRM(Digital Radio Mondiale), and DRM+(Digital Radio Mondiale Plus) systems. The proposed MDI analyzer can reduce the overload of MDI packets by using memory sharing techniques into a common module block. In consequence, it verifies the received MDI packets by composition information of IP(Internet Protocol) and FAC(Fast Access Channel)/SDC(Service Description Channel) in DRM/DRM+ systems for the next generation digital radio broadcasting systems.

In this paper, the bit-error-ratio (BER) performances of Digital Radio Mondiale Plus (DRM+) system which stand for the European standard to bring analogue FM radio to digital radio in Band-II(30-170 MHz) are evaluated under multipath fading channel models used in Band-II and the adjacent channel interference (ACI) caused by FM signal. From the simulation results, the DRM+ system shows robust performances under time-varying channel environments even though the speed of a vehicle is equal to 300km/h. And it is shown that the frequency diversity, determined by delay spread of multipath fading channel, increases the coding gain of the DRM+ system with an increase of delay spread. In addition, to guarantee the BER performance of 10-4 for DRM+ system with ACI due to FM signal, the simulation results show that the desired signal-to-ACI power ratio must be more than -30 dB when the carrier frequency distance is 150 kHz.

The Korean radio broadcasting system is analog. Digital Radio will transmit a digital signal to existing analog FM/AM. It provides clear sound quality, traffic information, weather information and various value-added services. In addition, the converted digital radio will be able to meet demand to growing demand for analog FM. DRM + is an area to place, depending on the frequency of usage to less interference can be placed anywhere. In this paper, DRM + system, a brief description, and is currently using the frequency status were described, accordingly DRM + candidate channel derived measures proposed, the existing analog broadcast and DRM + of interference effects through the simulation has been verified.

In digital radio broadcasting systems, long delays are incurred in service start time when tuning to a particular frequency because several synchronization steps, such as symbol timing synchronization, frame synchronization, and carrier frequency offset and sampling frequency offset compensation are necessary. Therefore, the operation of the synchronization blocks causes delays ranging from several hundred milliseconds to a few seconds until the start of the radio service after frequency tuning. Furthermore, if spectrum inversed signals are transmitted in digital radio broadcasting systems, the receivers are unable to decode them, even though most receivers can demodulate the spectral inversed signals in analog radio broadcasting systems. Accordingly, fast synchronization techniques and a method for spectral inversion detection are required in digital radio broadcasting systems that are to replace the analog radio systems. This paper presents a joint detection method of frame, integer carrier frequency offset, and spectrum inversion for DRM Plus digital broadcasting systems. The proposed scheme can detect the frame and determine whether the signal is normal or spectral inversed without any carrier frequency offset and sampling frequency offset compensation, enabling fast frame synchronization. The proposed method shows outstanding performance in environments where symbol timing offsets and sampling frequency offsets exist.
