[cma-l] DRM+ tests in the UK

[Ian Hickling]

Alan
A minute's Googling came up with :
 
DRM Project Office
C/O BBC World Service
Bush House
Aldwych, Strand
London, WC2B 4PH UK
Phone: +44 207 557 3271
Fax: +44 207 557 0225
Email: projectoffice at drm.org
 
Can I suggest you pursue that route on the "horse's mouth" basis!
Ian

> The DRM Digital Radio Mondiale standard was extended in 2009 to add an
> additional mode for operation in the VHF broadcasting bands (known as
> DRM+), enhancing the established capability of DRM for digital radio
> services in the bands below 30 MHz.
> 
> DRM provides many features to allow user-friendly, high quality radio to be
> broadcast, including use of station names rather than frequencies,
> consistent digital audio, additional text and visualisation, an EPG,
> alternate service signalling, and automatic service following to DRM, DAB,
> FM and AM services.
> 
> After the successful trial in Sri Lanka (November 2010) the DRM Consortium
> will mount a comprehensive DRM+ trial in the UK. The trial will take place
> in the Edinburgh area of Scotland in the first quarter of 2011.  Its
> objectives are:
> 
>        • To measure the coverage of DRM+ operating in various transmission
> modes (lower capacity, higher ruggedness; higher capacity, lower
> ruggedness)
>        • To compare the coverage of FM and DRM+ in terms of transmit power
>        • To assess the impact of DRM+ on FM and vice-versa
>        • To demonstrate the performance of DRM+ in a range of environments
> throughout the coverage area, for example, urban, suburban, rural, etc., and
> therefore provide an analysis of performance in the presence of multipath
> interference, terrain shielding, man-made obstructions, etc., in both strong
> and weak signal areas;
>        • To measure the pattern of the antenna in order to correlate
> performance in different directions with expected performance;
>        • To provide suitable measurement data to international regulatory
> bodies, such as CEPT and ITU.
