There is a global trend towards the adoption of digital technology in radio and communications, especially for distribution and transmission. Digitalisation offers many substantial advantages to national / international broadcasters and infocasters.
We are seeing the introduction of high quality delivery system in homes, but coverage on FM 88-108 MHz (VHF) is limited. For many national and international broadcasters, the advantages of a complementary digital broadcast system BELOW 30 MHz are becoming clear. However, the limited fidelity of existing AM services is causing listeners to search for other alternatives.
Implementation of digital radio in today’s AM bands (i.e. long, medium and shortwave) will enable operators to provide services which will be successful with both existing and future high-quality services operating on other parts of the dial.
Digital broadcasting on short-, medium-, or longwave (AM) has many advantages when compared to the conventional analogue system we use now.
