    Juan Jose Perez
    This document describes the implementation of a DRM+ transmitter in the GNU Radio software radio framework. It provides an overview of the DRM standard and its flow graph. The author details how he developed a new GNU Radio module called "gr-drm" to fully integrate the DRM+ transmitter. He discusses the performance and demonstrates it decoding with a commercial DRM receiver. The implementation provides a fully functional and modular open source DRM+ transmitter in GNU Radio.

    Introduction

    Why digital radio?


    News and data streams possible
    Multiple services on one channel
    Better performance in low SNR environments

    DRM: Digital Radio Mondiale


    Standard for transmission below 30 MHz (DRM30)
    Inaugural transmission took place in 2003
    DRM+ was added to support 30 MHz - 174 MHz band in 2009

    First open source implementation of DRM+

    Introduction Development Process

    Understand the standard


    Design transmitter and its inverse in MATLAB

    Test against Dream


    Implements DRM30 receiver
    Developed at the TU Darmstadt

    Test against commercial DRM receiver

    Port to GNU Radio

    Create unit tests and optimize performance

    DRM Standard

    OFDM system

    Variable data rate, bandwidth and error robustness

    Subset of MPEG-4 standard used for audio coding


    AAC, CELP, HVXC

    Three logical channels


    Main Service Channel (MSC)
    Service Description Channel (SDC)
    Fast Access Channel (FAC)

    All stages parameters tightly intertwined to optimize performance

    Implementation in GNU Radio

    New module gr-drm

    Fully integrated into GRC


    No deep knowledge of DRM required
    Flow graphs can be used as-is

    As modular as possible
    Generic blocks
    Puncturing
    Interleaver

    Conclusion

    Great GSoC experience


    Over 5000 lines of code
    Daily interaction with mentor
    Very helpful community

    DRM30 transmitter has been implemented in GNU Radio


    DRM+ is implemented but untested

    Next steps:
    Integration of Fraunhofer AAC encoder
    Implementation of DRM Receiver in GNU Radio

    DRM+ might become the new standard for digital broadcasting in Brazil
