Performance Of Digital Audio Broadcasting In Mobile Reception Scenarios

Abstract

This paper presents the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) standard and its implementation into a simulation model. The negative influences of a transmission channel on the DAB signal are analyzed and emulated in the simulation with a focus on a mobile reception. Overall simulation model containing a transmitter, the transmission channel and a receiver was realized in a MATLAB environment. Multiple simulations of the DAB signal transmission in different conditions were performed and evaluated, with an emphasis on the mobile reception scenario. These results are presented along with a discussion.
