Rough Draft. Probably take a month to look like anything.
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB, or EUREKA-147) is a standard for transmitting lossy encoded digital audio.
RF
OFDM:
Multipath, Doppler Shift, Interference.
Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI)
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
differential QPSK - no channel equalization needed
Guard Interval
1/4th symbol length interval
copies end of symbol before start of symbol
Multipath
Single-Frequency Networks (FSN)
Synchronization
Null symbol
Phase Reference Symbol (PRS)
Frequency-Domain Multipath
ConvolutionalCoding(COFDM)forward-error-correction(FEC) Normally; half-rate. == 1.2Mb/s Viterbi Bit-stream re-ordering; Pre-determined patterns Temporal: Between Frames; depth 360ms Frequency: Interleaving.
4 transmission modes, 1,2,4,8KHz wide
Mode 1: Band III (4x1.54MHz DAB in 7MHz UKTV space) 70km max SFN antenna spacing Mode 2: L-Band (1452-1492MHz, world) est 17km max SFN antenna spacing Mode 3: up to 3GHz for satellite est 8km max SFN antenna spacing Mode 4: L-Band, sometimes appropriate est 35km max SFN antenna spacing
useful payload (0.6 - 1.7 Mbit/s) available. 6 x 192Mb/s MP2 = 1.2Mb/s Fast Information Channel (FIC) - Non-interleaved Multiplex configuration information
