IntroductionFM Stereo / RDS
Modulation System FM-Stereo
2 Introduction
The R&S Signal Generator enables you to generate signals in accordance with the
United States Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS) standard and the european
standard CENELEC EN50067 "Specification of the Radio Data System (RDS) for
VHF/FM Sound Broadcasting in the frequency Range from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz".
The R&S Signal Generator simulates FM-STEREO signal at the physical layer. The following list gives an overview of the main options provided by the R&S Signal Generator for generating a FM-STEREO signal in accordance with the RDS/RBDS standard:
●
Generation of standard compliant FM-Stereo signal with Stereo audio signal and
RDS/RBDS signal
●
Full configuration of all group types and versions
●
Internal modulation sources from LF Generator and wave file for digital stereo signal
●
External modulation sources from digital S/P DIF interface for digital stereo signal
●
In case of two path instrument, simulation of two independent FM radio transmitters
●
Configuration of other networks and alternative frequency list
2.1 Modulation System FM-Stereo
The figure below shows the stereophonic multiplex containing the data signal.
Fig. 2-1: FM baseband spectrum including RDS/RBDS subcarrier
The radio frequency signal consists of a frequency modulated carrier with frequency of
19 kHz and maximum frequency deviation of 80 kHz.
9Operating Manual 1171.6050.12 ─ 10
IntroductionFM Stereo / RDS
Baseband Coding and Group Structure
The stereophonic multiplex signal consists of a mono signal, the sidebands of the
stereo signal with suppressed subcarrier at 38 kHz and a pilot signal with exactly one
half of the subcarrier frequency.
The mono signal M is the sum of the left-hand signal L and the right-hand signal R.
The stereo signal S is the difference between the signals L and R. A pre-emphasis can
be applied to both L and R signal prior to stereo coding.
The RDS/RBDS subcarrier is locked to the third harmonic of the 19 kHz pilot tone and
suppressed.
The R&S Signal Generator enables you to configure the pilot's phase and frequency
deviation, the RDS/RBDS subcarrier's phase and frequency deviation and the preemphasis. The pilot's phase and the RDS/RBDS subcarrier phase are set with respect to
the 38 kHz subcarrier.
The firgure below shows the FM-Stereo block diagram.
Fig. 2-2: FM-Stereo block diagram
2.2 Baseband Coding and Group Structure
The figure below shows the baseband coding principle.
10Operating Manual 1171.6050.12 ─ 10
IntroductionFM Stereo / RDS
Baseband Coding and Group Structure
Fig. 2-3: Structure of the baseband coding
The basic element in the signal structure is the group. There are 16 groups (0 to 15)
with 104 bits each. Each group consists of 4 blocks, 26 bits each. A block comprises
an information word (16 bits) and a check word (10 bits).
Each group has two versions, version A and Version B. The figure below shows the
group structure for both versions.
Fig. 2-4: Version A and B group format
The table below gives an overview of the available frame formats per Group Type and
Group Type Version. The frame format is displayed in the "RDS/RBDS User Message
Table" dialog of the corresponding group type and group type version
