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.

DRM Exciter
Fall-Back Solution
The exciter fall-back solution gives
MDI
the opportunity to fall back from
DRM transmission to AM, DAM or
Audio
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.

OPTIMIZATION
OF THE DRM SPECTRUM
The DRM DMOD3 provides automatic functions to pre-equalize the transmitted signal in order to minimize the out-of-band emissions.
The aim of the pre-equalization process is to reduce the influence of linear and non-linear distortions on the DRM signal.
The following pre-equalization functions are supported by the DRM DMOD3:

FRAUNHOFER DT 700
DRM MONITORING RECEIVER
(directional

rive
Concept
The DRM Monitoring Receiver DT 700
is a professional monitoring receiver
perfectly suited for DRM reception and
transmitter monitoring. It features
a high performance front-end based on
the latest direct sampling reception
technology. Together with a 12-band
fix-tuned preselector filter bank, the
DRM Monitoring Receiver DT 700
guarantees an outstanding reception
performance and low phase noise.
The receiver's signal processing is based
on a Software Defined Radio (SDR)
construction. Its core is an embedded
Linux PC. The latter features an easy
software update via built-in DVD drive.
The highly reliable hardware is built
for 24/7 continuous operation as is
necessary for a professional broadcast
environment. Based on the embedded
Linux platform a web server allows easy
remote access to all of the receiver's
control functions. The DRM Monitoring
Receiver DT 700 is available with two
different reference oscillator accuracies
standard oscillator (5ppm, Option B1) or
high precision OCXO (<0.1ppm, Option
B2).

DRM Antenna Tuning
TRANSRADIO provides consulting to
develop complete AM antenna systems
and to deliver, adapt and improve
AM antennas especially for DRM.
In general, TRANSRADIO employs
Extension Networks (ENW) in order
to reduce unwanted phase modulation
in the antenna and the mismatch of the
load. The transmitters have a maximum
of transmission quality because they
operate on a wide-band matched load.
