What is AMSS?
AMSS allows some data to be transmitted on "conventional" AM transmissions. For
instance the station label (i.e. BBC WorldService) & alternate frequency
information of other AM, DRM, DAB transmissions with the same audio service is
sent.
What are the main advantages?
Added feature for DRM receivers: ability to receive the station label on AM
transmissions
Seamless changeover by receiver between AM & DRM transmissions
Ability for receiver tuned to AM to find better AM or DRM frequencies
automatically
Ability for receiver to track transmitter frequency changes
How does it work?
Some phase modulation is applied to the AM carrier. This carries the data at
47bps. The phase modulation is not enough to cause audible problems. Its not a
new idea, but what is different this time is that DRM receivers easily have the
processing power to decode this information.
What is the point of this post?
This week (May 20, 2005), a prototype AMSS modulator was tested in the UK. Next
week longterm tests into Europe (from Cyprus; HF) will start. AMSS decoding
should be implemented into DRM receivers including the DReaM software. Would
anyone be prepared to take on this task? The system specification is available
on the ETSI website: ETSI TS 102 386 V1.1.1 (2005-03) or from me, james dot
