1、QUESTION ITU-R 56-1/6 Characteristics of terrestrial digital sound broadcasting systems for reception by vehicular, portable and fixed receivers (1993-2006) The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that there is an increasing requirement by some countries for suitable means of broadcastin
2、g high quality stereo/multi-channel sound to vehicular, portable and fixed receivers; b) that significant progress has been made in technical studies on digital sound broadcasting systems and that some systems have been demonstrated with success; c) that it has been demonstrated that advanced digita
3、l sound broadcasting systems can lead to greater spectrum and power efficiency and immunity to multipath compared with conventional analogue sound broadcasting systems; d) that digital sound broadcasting systems can be designed to allow common signal processing in receivers for various broadcasting
4、bands; e) that digital sound broadcasting systems can provide national, regional and local terrestrial services; f) that it would be advantageous for a digital sound broadcasting system if a common receiver, capable of receiving terrestrial and satellite services, could be designed; g) that digital
5、sound broadcasting systems may be configured to transmit programmes with lower bit rates in order to trade quality against the number of sound channels; h) that new digital sound broadcasting systems will be able to provide additional facilities for programme-related and non programme-related data;
6、j) that the World Administrative Radio Conference (Malaga-Torremolinos, 1992) (WARC-92) asked the former CCIR to undertake as a matter of urgency the technical studies associated with terrestrial digital audio broadcasting, decides that the following Question should be studied 1 What are the technic
