Abstract:
Recently, analog radio systems are being replaced with digital radio systems. The digital radio can provide high quality services because it is robust to interference and it has a high power efficiency. Thus, an efficient channel allocation plan is needed. This paper proposes a channel allocation plan for Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and Digital Radio Mondiale Plus (DRM+) systems in Very High Frequency (VHF) band III, and presents interference analysis results about this plan. In the channel allocation plan for only DAB system, some local stations lack extra available programs. Accordingly, DRM+ blocks are allocated to the local stations. This paper analyzes the interference between the DAB system and between the DRM+ system. These results will contribute to broadcast network planning of the digital radio.
