Abstract

The digital sound broadcasting DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) standard has established worldwide, and the number of transmissions on air has increased significantly since the approval of the standard. This paper presents the results of the one of the first DRM field trials using the 26 MHz band for local broadcasting that were carried out in Mexico. The main objective of these trials was to test the usage of the 26 MHz frequency broadcasting band to cover a local area in a similar way to FM broadcasting. This band has been usually used to broadcast long distance transmissions mainly under high sun-spot activity.
