Infotainment system

Infotainment (IVI), is a collection of hardware

and software in automobiles that provides
audio or video entertainment.

Car radio
 Navigation system
An automotive navigation system is part of the
automobile controls or a third party add-on used
to find direction in an automobile.

It typically uses a satellite navigation device to get

its position data which is then correlated to a
position on a road.

When directions are needed routing can be

calculated. On the fly traffic information can be
used to adjust the route.
 The road database is a vector map.

Street names or numbers and house numbers are

encoded as geographic coordinates so that the user
can find some desired destination by street address
(see map database management).

Points of interest (waypoints) are stored with their

geographic coordinates.

Map data vendors such as Tele Atlas and Navteq

create the base map in a Geographic Data Files
format.
 Car navigation systems receive signals from
satellites and identify the vehicle's position
and direction by combining that data with
information obtained from various onboard
sensors.
 Car navigation systems receive signals from
the gps satelites and identify the relative car
position and direction by combining the
information received fron the onboard
sensors. The gps satelites can also help you to
find the route to the destination using various
databases like road network db,traffic data db,
Site information data and even the
background data consisting of rivers bridges
etc.
Car radio
 The AM spectrum extends from 535 to 1705
kHz,

and FM ranges from 88 to 108 MHz.

DAB Digital audio broad cast frequencies

greater than 200MHz
 A radio frequency power amplifier (RF power amplifier) is a type of electronic
amplifier that converts a low-power radio-frequency signal into a higher power
signal.

Design goals often include

gain, power output, bandwidth, power efficiency, linearity (low signal compression
at rated output), input and output impedance matching, and heat dissipation.

Many modern RF amplifiers operate in different modes, called classes, to help

achieve their design goals. Some classes are class A, class B, class C and class E.]
Class D amplifiers are rarely used for RF purposes because they need even higher
frequency devices.

Modern RF power amplifiers use solid-state devices such as bipolar junction

transistors and MOSFETs.[2] Although transistors and other modern solid-state
devices have replaced vacuum tubes in most electronic devices, tubes are still
used in some high-power transmitters
 Tuner
A tuner is a subsystem that receives radio
frequency (RF) transmissions like radio
broadcasts and converts the selected carrier
frequency and its associated bandwidth into a
fixed frequency that is suitable for further
processing, usually because a lower frequency
is used on the output.
 Audio decoder converts analog audio to digital
form
DSP processors filters the noise
