This course, Recommendation ITU-R BO.1130-4, details various digital sound broadcasting-satellite systems (BSS) designed for vehicular, portable, and fixed receivers operating in the 1400-2700 MHz frequency range. It extensively discusses five different digital systems (A, B, D$, Dн, and E), documenting their technical characteristics and field test results. The text includes detailed comparisons of system performance, modulation schemes, and capabilities, particularly focusing on aspects like multipath propagation resistance, audio quality, and the ability to support hybrid satellite/terrestrial reception. Overall, this ITU recommendation serves as a comprehensive technical guide for the implementation and evaluation of these diverse digital sound broadcasting systems.
Digital Sound Broadcasting Systems Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,
The textbook courses by Academy Europe are targeted at providing the students with the most important aspects of the theoretical and methodical materials. In addition, the textbook courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
