Abstract

The digital audio broadcasting (DAB) system which was originally designed for high quality audio transmission to mobile receivers is investigated for transmission of compressed digital video and multimedia signals. The bit error performance is considered using various levels of error protection provided by the DAB system. As a result, a net bit rate of about 1.5 Mbit/s can be achieved. With additional error correction coding, a bit error ratio (BER) of less than 10^-10 can be realized. This is the requirement for compressed video signals. The SNR per bit is below 16 dB. The results are demonstrated and compared using computer simulations of the complete system
