DRM Broadcast
DRM1000 Broadcast Receiver Module
The DRM1000 broadcast receiver module is a complete ‘antenna-to-audio’ solution designed for easy integration by manufacturers of broadcast receivers. Full software functionality is included for high-performance reception of AM, FM, and DRM (DRM30 and DRM+) broadcasts worldwide, across MF, HF and VHF (Band I and II). The module software supports a simple user interface comprising a small, low-cost display and push-buttons. Support is also provided for an external microcontroller via a serial interface, to provide an extended user interface and functions if desired.
The DRM1000 includes all software and essential intellectual property licences including the xHE-AAC codec required by the Digital Radio Mondiale standards. This allows manufacturers to manufacture and sell DRM capable receivers without the need for any legal or licensing arrangements with holders of essential PR utilised in the DRM radio broadcast system. This, combined with the ease of integrating the DRM1000 into a receiver design greatly simplifies the creation of a final product.
Devices are available through our Distributor Network.
