DAB+
for Transistor Radios and HiFi Devices
The upgrade kit
is permanently mounted into the device and enables reception of DAB+
stations on the FM scale. Fixed station memories can also be used
for
DAB+ stations. It is possible to control the stereo signal indicator
and the center indicator instrument. A switch can be installed that
allows selection
of DAB+ reception or normal FM. The FM search run can
also be used for DAB+ reception. When the device is equipped with RDS
there also exists a solution
to display the DAB+ station name on the
RDS display.
The circuit interprets the frequency
of the radio's FM oscillator and selects the actual DAB+ station from
that. It generates an artificial FM-IF signal that
controls field
strength and center instrument of the device. The stereo mode and
indicator can be controlled. An additional circuit board is used to
generate
the RDS signal if needed. Between the DAB+ stations artificial
noise is generated and output.
Expert users can mount the upgrade
kit on their own. An instruction manual for the respective device is
included.
