DIGITAL RADIO : OVERVIEW

One of the final bastions of analog processing on the planet, radio, is about to enter the digital revolution. Not since the advent of the transistor radio (also pioneered by Texas Instruments ) has radio seen such a radical change in reception and transmission technology. This follows other analog to digital transformations such as CDs, cell phones, still cameras, etc. Like these examples, the change in radio will have far reaching implications.

Today, radio is ubiquitous: it affects how we live, work, and play. It is a non-intrusive device and remains part of our daily lives. However, the radio we know today will change with the use of DSP technology.

There are two standards at the forefront of this revolution. Eureka-147 is broadcast in several European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany and France. It is also found in Asia in such places like Singapore and Taiwan. In the US, the proposed standard is IBOC (In Band On Channel).

Whether your end-equipment takes the form of an automotive digital radio, a clock radio, Eureka portable radios, or PC digital radios, continue on in this site to find out more about this exciting market.
