Low Power iBiquity "HD" radios - Where are they?
With iBiquitys "Big" announcement about "significant momentum in
advancing the infrastructure for HD Radio designs." I would have expected to see low power "HD" radios hitting the market by now. What's up Struble? All I'm seeing are the current power hungry "HD" radios selling at rock bottom clearance prices if you can find them at all. Im sure retailers are on the edge of their seats waiting for the shipment of low power "HD" radios considering they made no money at all with the first batch of junk radios. What's up with that Booble Struble? |

What's up with that Booble Struble? "HD Radio" "Until now, portable HD Radio receivers have been unavailable because the chipsets needed by this technology required too much power to be practical for a battery-operated device. However, in January 2008 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas iBiquity unveiled a prototype of a new iPod-sized portable receiver. It is based on a new chipset developed by Samsung. Although portable, it is still a relatively power-hungry device (it will run on an average set of alkaline batteries in about two hours, according to an iBiquity engineer). But Samsung engineers at CES say a second-generation chipset due in 2009 will be about 40 percent more power efficient and then a third-generation chipset due about a year later will use even less energy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio "HD Radio To Go Portable Via New, Smaller Chipset" "For portable devices, the Samsung chipset will reduce power consumption to less than 200 milliwatts from other chipsets' approximate 3 watts, Struble said. With the chipset, iBiquity's objective is to deliver 24 hours of HD Radio reception from a portable device's embedded rechargeable battery... With the Samsung solution, chipset size shrinks from a cellphone-size module to one that is about 25mm by 30mm (roughly 1 inch by 1.2 inches) and a few millimeters deep." http://www.twice.com/article/CA6526388.html "Sirius Satellite Radio" "Sirius Stiletto 100 - the first portable Sirius radio that allows subscribers to listen to live Sirius programming... The unit's batteries give the user approximately 30 hours of life." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_Satellite_Radio Struble wants a 1200% increase in power efficiency - isn't going to happen! What a farce! Glad to see you back! |
