DRM (DIGITAL RADIO MONDIALE) Radio goes future we show IT The major advantage of LF, MF and HF broadcasting in the frequency range below 30 MHz is the huge achievable coverage. While all other technologies need an extensive network with a high number of transmitters, AM broadcasting requires just a few transmitters, providing a program to particular target groups in a large geographical area. Because listeners were accustomed to the high quality of VHF/FM broadcasting, upgrading AM with a new technology was required to deliver the same high standards. Implementing the digital broadcasting technology DRM gives substantial improvements in audio and reception quality. Robustness in fading channels Significant improvement in audio quality Power savings at the transmitter site Service related data (service labels, alternative frequencies and language information) Data services (pictures, text- and traffic information) News Service Journaline TM Optional Fraunhofer DRM ContentServer TM R4 MDI data GPS-antenna or external clock DRM DMOD3 OVERVIEW OF THE DRM SOLUTIONS ENV1 TRAM TX1 RF drive RF out Paralleling unit Antenna Antenna Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) is the name of the international consortium, which defined the standards for digitalisation of AM broadcasting. DRM was founded in 1998 and developed a digital radio standard which is endorsed by the IEC, ETSI and ITU. TRANSRADIO, formerly TELEFUNKEN SenderSysteme Berlin, as a founding member of this consortium, has tremendously influenced this standard with its experience and knowledge in broadcasting.

DRM THE ECONOMICAL WAY TO REACH YOUR LISTENERS SFN EXTEND THE COVERAGE The DRM power is normally given as the average power of the digital modulation. Because of the high modulation peaks of the DRM signal, the average power is significantly lower than for the same transmitter operating in the analog AM mode. In general a DRM COFDM waveform has a peak to average ratio of about 10 db. Thus a standard DRM transmitter with a carrier power of 100kW and 100% modulation reaches a peak power of 400kW. The DRM power of such a transmitter is only 40 kw. As a result, for the same coverage, up to 60% of the power can be saved running an AM transmitter in DRM. In contrast to standard transmitters, TRANSRADIO s TRAM family of transmitters attain a DRM power of up to 73% of their nominal power with all quality requirements fulfilled: the MER value is well above the minimum DRM requirement and the out-of-band emissions are considerably within the DRM spectrum mask. This is possible due to the overmodulation capability of the TRAM transmitters and a peak-to-average ratio reduction scheme implemented in the DRM DMOD3. Thus, TRANSRADIO s TRAM family of transmitters produce nearly two times the DRM power compared to a standard transmitter. SFN-Berlin: 3 TRAM 10, 1485 khz A single frequency network (SFN) is a radio network that operates several transmitters on a single frequency and has overlapping coverage areas. SFN s are an efficient method of extending the coverage area without the need for additional frequencies. Signals arriving from transmitters outside the local transmitter area can reinforce reception and recover losses through local anomalous propagation effects. Any receiver in the coverage area of these transmitters will receive the signal from more than one transmitter. Different paths that arrive from distant transmitters in the SFN must arrive with a delay separation that is less than the guard interval duration, or otherwise inter-symbol interference occurs. To avoid interference, each station is run synchronously with the others using GPS as a reference clock. The built-in GPS receiver of the DRM DMOD3 from TRANSRADIO is implemented for single frequency networks. Tests in the medium wave band, conducted in cooperation with MEDIA BROADCAST GmbH and in the short wave band, in cooperation with the DRM consortium demonstrated the readiness of the DRM DMOD3 for all types of SFN's. 8 9

OVERVIEW THE NEW DRM DMOD3 THE ALL IN ONE SOLUTION DRM DMOD3 The aim of the new DRM DMOD3 is to offer highly automated configuration procedures, maximum reliability, low power consumption, low heat dissipation and a compact and ergonomic design. All broadcasting modes are possible. The DRM DMOD3 offers easy and fast switchover facility between analog AM, pure DRM, single channel or multi channel simulcast. Core features of the new DRM exciter are the automatic equalizer adjustment and the integrated antenna voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) measurement capability, which offers a very precise and fast method to set up DRM equipment. The DRM DMOD3 is designed for mounting in standard 19 racks of 4U height. It eliminates the requirement for a separate RF processor and offers a significant reduction in external wiring. Low power consumption, reduced operating temperature and a higher MTBF have been achieved by implementing notebook technology components and a harddisk-free design. New Features: Operation modes Operation modes AM, DRM, SCS and MCS Fast switchover Fast switchover is accomplished in less than 5 seconds between all operation modes Automatic Equalizer Adjustment Easy signal correction with automatic equalizer adjustment VSWR Measurement of the Antenna Integrated RF Processor The DRM DMOD3 fits into a single 4RU Case Significant reduction of external wiring Low Power Consumption Harddisk-free design Use of notebook components Now all DRM-Modes fully supported!

VSWR MEASUREMENT, HARDDISK-FREE DESIGN DRM RESERVE AND FALL BACK SYSTEMS Dual-flash storage architecture: Safe like a safe Harddisk-Free Memory Architecture The new memory architecture of the DRM DMOD3 offers maximum reliability due to the harddisk-free design. All necessary data to boot up and to run the DMOD3 are stored on a static permanent storage (flash1), which has read only access. Inessential dynamic data for logging and configuration, which are written occasionally, are stored on a second flash memory (flash 2). This separation of the essential and inessential data on two flash storage devices was made to increase the reliability of the architecture, since the likelihood of failure of a flash memory is determined mainly by the number of write cycles. Active DRM Reserve The active DRM reserve offers a maximum of reliability for a DRM system. Two DRM exciters supervise each other during normal operation. In the unlikely event of failure of one DRM exciter, the remaining exciter takes over the service and keeps the transmitter(s) on air. In an active reserve, double exciter system the test points of the transmitter(s) are switched as well. MDI MDI DRM DMOD3 -A Supervision Link RF, Envelope Control Unit RF, Envelope TX Antenna Example of an Antenna VSWR VSWR Measurement of the Antenna The DRM broadcast must be compliant with the ITU spectrum mask and requires low antenna VSWR. The DRM DMOD3 is capable of measuring the VSWR of the antenna during DRM operation and to show the result on the screen. This enables the broadcaster to monitor antenna matching during regular operation without additional measuring equipment. Furthermore the DRM spectrum is measured and is visualized by the integrated DRM DMOD3 web server. Mandatory - Read only Static permanent storage Startup Programs Permanent config Flash1 Dynamic permanent storage Inessential for normal operation Log files Dynamic configuration Flash2 Data Processing Memory Architecture Dynamic volatile storage Temporary data Fast logging RAM Disk DRM Exciter Fall-Back Solution The exciter fall-back solution gives the opportunity to fall back from DRM transmission to AM, DAM or AMC modulation in the unlikely event of failure of the digital exciter. In fall back mode the audio signal bypasses the digital exciter. The internal synthesizer of the transmitter provides the RF signal and the transmitter is kept on air by means of the internal AM modulator. MDI DRM DMOD3 TX Antenna Control Unit RF from TX-Synthesizer Combination of Active DRM Reserve and DRM Exciter Fall-Back In order to further increase the reliability of the DRM system, the Active DRM Reserve and the Exciter Fall-Back Solution can be combined. In the unlikely case of the failure of both DRM exciters the internal synthesizer of the transmitter provides the RF signal. RF Envelope RF Envelope 14 15

OPTIMIZATION OF THE DRM SPECTRUM SPEED UP YOUR BUSINESS One Button Automatic Equalizer Adjustment The DRM DMOD3 provides automatic functions to pre-equalize the transmitted signal in order to minimize the out-of-band emissions.

PARALLELING UNIT RIDING THE LONGWAVE The paralleling unit (PU) serves to combine two single transmitters to double the output power. Furthermore, it provides an active redundancy system to avoid a loss of transmission during maintenance schedules. The PU equipment contains a central control unit, a combining network and a compact balancing resistor. The load regulation of the central control unit ensures that both transmitters are levelled automatically to equal RF output powers and a minimum of power is lost on the balancing resistor. In the unlikely event of failure of one of the transmitters, a motorised RF switch will automatically switch the unaffected transmitter directly to the antenna and the faulty transmitter to a dummy load. The transmission continues and the faulty transmitter can be repaired whilst connected to the dummy load. OVERVIEW Paralleling unit PU Control Unit Longwave is well known for excellent ground wave coverage hence, offering a stable reception. DRM on LW combines the advantages of digital transmission with very good longwave propagation. On the other hand, narrow band longwave antennas with considerable mismatch even inside the transmission bandwidth are posing a big challenge to the broadcast industry. TRANSRADIO has accepted this challenge and has successfully modernized several LW transmission stations with its DRM solution. The DRM installation on LW needs completely to fulfill the requirements concerning the out-ofband emissionsof ETSI EN 302 245-1 and ITU SM.1541. Therefore, TRANSRADIO implements an Extension Network (ENW) to eliminate the disadvantages of the asymmetrical antenna impedance and to reduce mismatch. This results in a reduction of the standing wave ratio and a significant mask reserve. A world premier was achieved when the TRANSRADIO transmitter in Zehlendorf (Germany) broadcast for the first time DRM on long wave in accordance with the ETSI/ITU standard. Since then TRANSRADIO reconfirmed impressively its leading position with respect to LW and has modernized LW transmitting stations, for example, in Donebach, Aholming (Germany) and Summerhill (Ireland).

Each individual transmitter or paralleling unit (PU) is optionally accessible via SNMP and HTML. The network access can be via dial-in (PSTN, ISDN) or Ethernet connection (TCP/IP). The web server and the SNMP MIBs (management NTP-server for time-synchronisation information base) offer all necessary functions to remotely control the transmitter and display failure messages. SNMP As a result of standardized SNMP-MIB implementation, the SNMP functions can be seamlessly integrated in a SNMP Mailserver management system. If a failure occurs, traps are sent by the SNMP agent. SNMP traps can be collected and presented by a central management system. Also transmitter parameters can be modified via set commands. In addition, SMS messages and emails can be sent to the operator and the clock can be synchronized by an NTP-server. Web Access via HTML Based on a web server, all necessary functions of a transmitter system can be monitored and controlled by a standard browser no proprietary software is required. 24 Standardized SNMP-MIB of a TRAM Transmitter Webinterface of a TRAM Transmitter 25
