 Introduction
 System Description
 Algorithm Design Of DRM Receiver
 Implementation Of DRM Receiver
 Experimental Results
Q & A
 Significant improvements in Service reliability,
Audio Quality and, usability.

 From a technical perspective, a key feature of

DRM is the ability to select from a range of
transmission modes(so called robustness modes
A-D).

 From a commercial perspective, to consume

digital services & benefits resembling Easier
tuning & Selection, Sound Quality, etc;
What is DRM?
 “DRM30” modes, which
are specifically designed
to utilize the AM
broadcast bands below
30MHz and

 “DRM+” modes, which

utilize the spectrum from
30MHz to VHF Band III,
centered on the FM
broadcast band (Band II).
 DRM is an OFDM-based digital radio standard
designed to fit within the existing AM broadcast
band.
 OFDM is a combination of modulation &

Multiplexing and is a special case of FDM.

 The channel bandwidth in the long, medium and

short wave bands is 9 or 10 kHz.

 Signal constellations used by DRM are 16-QAM,

64-QAM
OFDM transmission frame contains data cells, control cells
& Pilot cells
Pilot cells used for frame transmission, frequency & time
synchronization and Channel estimation.
 DRM receiver involves mode detection, frame
detection, tracking, and channel estimation.
 The mode detection detects the transmission

mode and determines the FFT size and guard

interval length.
 The frame starting point is then determined by

frame detection.
 The tracking phase can be separated into a timing

tracking phase and a frequency tracking phase.

 Frequency Tracking:

Residual Frequency Offset (RFO) and Sampling

Frequency Offset (SFO) are both introduced.

 Timing Tracking:

Causes inter-symbol-interference (ISI) or even

cause the loss of synchronization.
Hardware Platform:

 PNPNetwork PN3022 platform

 It includes a high-performance 24bit DSP Core

running at 180 MHz, a 10 bit A/D converter, and

other communication peripherals.
 The A/D converter receives a 450kHz IF signal

from the RF tuner and samples it using a 2MHz

internal clock.
 Low power consumption portable DRM receiver
are presented.
 Proposed a new joint residual frequency offset

(RFO) and Sampling Frequency Offset (SFO)

estimation algorithms to enhance the
Performance.
 Results show that the audio frame error rate and

BER performance as well as RFO performance are

excellent.
