FMDABbroadcast

FMDABbroadcast is a software tool designed for the simulation and analysis of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) signals. It allows researchers and engineers to model the transmission and reception of DAB signals under various channel conditions and network configurations. The software is often used in the development and testing of DAB receivers and transmitters, as well as for studying the performance of DAB systems in complex environments.

Key functionalities of FMDABbroadcast typically include the ability to generate DAB waveforms according to relevant standards, such as ETSI EN 300 401. Users can define parameters like modulation scheme, coding rates, and ensemble configurations. The simulation engine can then introduce impairments that mimic real-world propagation effects, including multipath fading, interference, and noise. This enables users to assess the robustness of DAB signals and evaluate the effectiveness of different mitigation techniques.

FMDABbroadcast may also offer tools for analyzing the received signal quality, such as bit error rate (BER) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurements. Visualizations of the simulated DAB spectrum and constellation diagrams are often provided to aid in understanding the signal behavior. The software is generally developed with flexibility in mind, allowing for customization of simulation scenarios and integration with other signal processing tools. Its purpose is to provide a controlled environment for experimentation and validation of DAB technologies.
