No, DRM is 100% digital. To run analog simultaneously you need a separate
frequency. Some testing is being done, like that in Mexico, by placing the
DRM signal on the adjacent AM channel... a station on 1060 is going to have
DRM on 1070.

And I repeat:

HD radio works the same way. The digital signal sits *next to* the
station at 1070.

DRM is not using a sideband; to do analog and digital requires a separate
transmitter for each on a separate carrier frequency. HD is a combined
analog and digital signal on the same carrier frequency. DRM is digital
only... if you want analog, you have to have a separate channel, close to or
not to the DRM one.

Exactly. DRM is a separate signal that can go wherever the operator
chooses. He may elect to place it next to his AM transmitter or the
regulator may force him to place it there so any interference will be
to his own service. Whatever, the signal will appear at only one point
in the spectrum. It is not a sideband of the AM.

HD, on the other hand is an actual sideband of the AM carrier. There
are two digital channels available, the primary and the secondary.
Each of them occupies 5kHz either side of the AM carrier, the primary
from 10 to 15kHz, and the secondary from 5 to 10kHz. The HD signal is
irrevocably combined with its host AM service.

Ok, here is a difference you should understand. DRM uses two separate

different exciters one digital and the other analog that input into the

An exciter is simply a source of a signal which can be modulated onto
a carrier.

If you want an analogy, HD is a little like the stereo subcarrier on
an FM signal - not the same as the baseband signal, but an integral
part of the overall signal. DRM would be like transmitting the stereo
signal on another channel entirely, with its own transmitter.

The difference is far from trivial.

On the same carrier for HD, on separate carriers for DRM. DRM is a pure
digital system, and if analog is also employed, it is on a separate
allocation, close or not so close to the digital frequency.

IBOC was engineered from the get-go with compatible recievers in mind. The
receivers would autoswitch from the analog to the digital signal.

Was DRM engineered with such autoswitching receivers in mind?

Are any such autoswitching receivers currently available?

Obviously a DRM receiver can handle both analogue and
digital signals.
Once a DRM signal is received, all parallel frequencies of
the service are automatically stored in the receiver's memory.
If the signal becomes weak the receiver will automatically switch
to a better signal (if available), even in other bands.
With a small amount of digital information added to an existing
analogue AM broadcast (AMSS, AM Signalling System) the
receiver recognizes the alternative frequency information and
schedules for other DRM, DAB, AM and FM transmissions
carrying the same or related programme material.
When you tune in to an analoque AM transmission on 630 kHz
in the medium wave band the receiver could let you listening to
for instance a DRM broadcast on 9740 kHz on short wave.

Are any such autoswitching receivers currently available?

That's interesting, and I can imagine that approach working well. There
would be no need for the adjacent channel digital interference which is
designed into IBOC.

So it looks like DRM can be better than IBOC.

- Lower Digital Sidebands {Co-SideBand}
* Analog Host Signal (Mono) {Nested}
+ Upper Digital Sidebands {Co-SideBand}

- Thanks for proving my point. HD sits *next to* the AM signal (+/-

- 10 kHz). Same as DRM sits *next to* the AM signal (+/- 10 kHz).

DRM = Simulcast without Specification {Sans-Mask}
x x x Does Not Equal x x x
IBOC = Intrinsic {Mask} : Nested Analog + Two Digital Co-Sidebands

I still don't see the difference. Both standards are using sidebands,
adjacent to the analog AM signal.- Hide quoted text -

- There's no real difference between DRM's version
- (sitting next-to the AM signal) and HD's version
- (also sitting next-to the AM signal).
