Abstract

Two new methods using an FM-radio channel for transmission of digital data to mobile terminals are examined: 1. A modification of the radio data system (RDS). In RDS, additional digital information is multiplexed with a stereo sound signal. A new system is suggested where the data signal can be multiplexed with a mono audio signal. This causes extension to the bandwidth available for the data signal, and therefore the RDS bitrate can be increased. Error calculations are performed both for the original RDS system and for the new system. 2. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM is used in the digital audio broadcasting system (DAB), which is designed to transmit digital audio in the FM band. In OFDM a signal is divided over a large number of 2- or 4-PSK modulated orthogonal subcarriers. The subcarriers of 6 different programmes are multiplexed in one beam to reduce the effects of frequency selectivity of the transmission channel. A new system based on OFDM is proposed, in which the carriers of each programme are transmitted in one FM-channel with a bandwidth of 200 kHz instead of multiplexed with the carriers of other programmes. Error calculations are performed for the subcarriers used in the OFDM modulation method.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
