EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: ALL DIGITAL AM HD TESTING ON ITS WAY
Information is surfacing regarding NAB Radio Technology
Committee plans to test all-digital AM H-D Radio technology
on an existing full carrier AM radio station.
The committee has been meeting since last November to
discuss technical options for the revitalization of AM.
Testing would quantify both indoor and outdoor coverage. In
general, the goal is to verify whether the station coverage
and robustness are improved with an all-digital signal in
both day and night transmission. Also to quantify any
change. There's little technical data in the public arena
for all-digital AM operation.
Glynn Walden is CBS Radio Senior Vice President of
Engineering. He said during the fall NAB Radio Show that a
test station has been chosen with testing likely to begin
right after the presidential elections. Walden and other
committee members declined to identify the facility but some
believe it will be a CBS station in an area that could be
characterized as a medium sized market. You can read more
