Field Observations of Elevated FM HD (IBOC) Power Levels
Instructional Method: On-demand Webinar
Date: Anytime
Overview
In 2010, the Federal Communications Commission adopted new technical rules to permit FM stations to voluntarily increase hybrid digital power levels from -20dBc to -14dBc for most stations, and set a system to allow some stations to achieve up to -10dBc. Since that date, many stations have updated their transmission facilities to take advantage of the power increase. This presentation discusses field observations of elevated FM HD power levels on select stations and, in particular, in how they relate to the significant improvement in overall digital performance in the OEM automotive environment.
Why You Should Attend
Most automotive manufacturers are including HD Radio in many of their latest vehicles. Because of the increasing receiver base for HD Radio, and the growing importance of data delivery via HD Radio (Artist Experience, traffic data, etc), this presents some of the tangible benefits of elevated digital power, as well as some of the shortcomings to help engineers better understand digital radio coverage and performance at various power levels.
