Abstract
Abstract — A Simulink-Matlab simulation model is described that enables an accurate performance prediction of complete DAB (digital audio broadcasting) transmission channels. Embedded compiled C-code subroutines include modulation protocols, error correction and MPEG layer-2 perceptual audio coding. Rapid assessment of critical design related factors could be performed that include channel interference, multi-path reflection and a range of modulation-parameters. Software is PC compatible with both DAB system and transmission channel configurable using a bespoke graphical user interface, which facilitates changing on the fly modulation and transmission-path related parameters. Overall audio quality can also be assessed 1 . Index Terms — DAB, Matlab, Modulation, Simulation. I.

The VHF band is a scarce resource in many parts of the world, so there was a need for a spectrally more efficient modulation method than FM.
