(August 2024)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> with a few implementations outside North America. </p><p>HD Radio transmits the digital signals in unused portions of the same band as the analog AM and FM signals. As a result, radios are more easily designed to pick up both signals, which is why the HD in HD Radio is shorthand for "hybrid digital," not "high definition." Officially, HD is not intended to stand for any term in HD Radio, it is simply part of <a href="/wiki/IBiquity" title="IBiquity">iBiquity</a>'s trademark, and does not have any meaning on its own.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> HD Radios tune into the station's analog signal first and then look for a digital signal. The European DRM system shares channels similar to HD Radio, but the European DAB system uses different frequencies for its digital transmission.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The term "on channel" is a misnomer because the system actually sends the digital components on the ordinarily unused channels <i>adjacent to</i> an existing <a href="/wiki/Radio_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Radio station">radio station</a>'s allocation. This leaves the original analog signal intact, allowing enabled receivers to switch between digital and analog as required. In most FM implementations, from 96 to 128 kbit/s of capacity is available. High-fidelity audio requires only 48 kbit/s so there is ample capacity for additional channels, which HD Radio refers to as "multicasting". </p><p>HD Radio is licensed so that the simulcast of the main channel is royalty-free. The company makes its money on fees on additional multicast channels. Stations can choose the quality of these additional channels; music stations generally add one or two high-fidelity channels, while others use lower bit rates for voice-only news and sports. Previously these services required their own transmitters, often on low-fidelity AM. With HD, a single FM allocation can carry all of these channels, and even its lower-quality settings usually sound better than AM. </p><p>While it is typically used in conjunction with an existing channel it has been licensed for all-digital transmission as well. Four <a href="/wiki/AM_expanded_band" title="AM expanded band">AM</a> stations use the all-digital format, one under an experimental authorization, the other three under new rules adopted by the <a href="/wiki/FCC" class="mw-redirect" title="FCC">FCC</a> in October 2020. The system sees little use elsewhere due to its reliance on the sparse allocation of FM broadcast channels in North America; in Europe, stations are more tightly spaced. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=HD_Radio&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>This standard was meant to supersede other <a href="/wiki/AM_Stereo_and_Digital_AM_in_and_near_the_United_States" title="AM Stereo and Digital AM in and near the United States">existing</a> stereophonic standards on AM. </p><p><a href="/wiki/IBiquity" title="IBiquity">iBiquity</a> developed HD Radio, and the system was selected by the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Federal_Communications_Commission" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Federal Communications Commission">U.S. Federal Communications Commission</a> (FCC) in 2002 as a digital audio broadcasting method for the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-Dortch-2002-10-11-FCC_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dortch-2002-10-11-FCC-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-mediaweek_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mediaweek-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is officially known as NRSC‑5, with the latest version being NRSC‑5‑E.<sup id="cite_ref-NRSC-5-E_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NRSC-5-E-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/IBiquity" title="IBiquity">iBiquity</a> was acquired by <a href="/wiki/DTS_(sound_system)" class="mw-redirect" title="DTS (sound system)">DTS</a> in September 2015 bringing the HD Radio technology under the same banner as <a href="/wiki/DTS_(sound_system)" class="mw-redirect" title="DTS (sound system)">DTS</a>'s eponymous theater <a href="/wiki/Surround_sound" title="Surround sound">surround sound</a> systems.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The HD Radio technology and trademarks were subsequently acquired by <a href="/wiki/Xperi" title="Xperi">Xperi Holding Corporation</a> in 2016. </p><p>HD Radio is one of several digital radio standards which are generally incompatible with each other: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/FMeXtra" title="FMeXtra">FMeXtra</a> was a competing U.S. standard, but has been stagnant since the 2010s.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/CAM-D" title="CAM-D">Compatible AM Digital</a> (CAM‑D) for <a href="/wiki/AM_broadcasting" title="AM broadcasting">AM stations</a>.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Digital_Audio_Broadcasting" title="Digital Audio Broadcasting">Digital Audio Broadcasting</a> (DAB), <a href="/wiki/Also_known_as" class="mw-redirect" title="Also known as">a.k.a.</a> Eureka 147, is the most common standard in Europe.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Digital_Radio_Mondiale" title="Digital Radio Mondiale">Digital Radio Mondiale</a> (<a href="/wiki/Digital_Radio_Mondiale" title="Digital Radio Mondiale">DRM‑30</a> and <a href="/wiki/DRM%2B" class="mw-redirect" title="DRM+">DRM+</a> configurations) was intended mostly for <a href="/wiki/Shortwave" class="mw-redirect" title="Shortwave">shortwave</a> radio.</li></ul> <p>By May 2018, <a href="/wiki/IBiquity" title="IBiquity">iBiquity Digital Co.</a> claimed its HD Radio technology was used by more than 3,500 individual services, mostly in the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This compares with more than 2,200 services operating with the <a href="/wiki/Digital_Audio_Broadcasting" title="Digital Audio Broadcasting">DAB system</a>. </p><p>A 400 <a href="/wiki/KHz" class="mw-redirect" title="KHz">kHz</a> wide channel is required for HD <a href="/wiki/FM_broadcast_band" title="FM broadcast band">FM</a> analog-digital hybrid transmission, making its adoption problematic outside of North America.

This requires <a href="/wiki/Synchronization" title="Synchronization">synchronization</a> of the two, with a significant delay added to the analog service. In some cases, particularly during <a href="/wiki/Tropospheric_ducting" class="mw-redirect" title="Tropospheric ducting">tropospheric ducting</a> events, an HD receiver will lock on to the digital stream of a distant station even though there is a much stronger local analog-only station on the <a href="/wiki/Co-channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Co-channel">same frequency</a>.

The resulting unmistakable "reverb" or echo effect from playing digital and analog radios in the same room or house, tuned to the same station, can be annoying.

Unlike with subcarriers, where the total <a href="/wiki/Baseband" title="Baseband">baseband</a> <a href="/wiki/Modulation" title="Modulation">modulation</a> is reduced, there is no reduction to the analog <a href="/wiki/Carrier_wave" title="Carrier wave">carrier</a> <a href="/wiki/Effective_radiated_power" title="Effective radiated power">power</a>.

This equates to an increase to 10% of the analog carrier power, but no decrease in the analog signal. This was shown to reduce analog coverage because of interference, but results in a dramatic improvement in digital coverage. Other levels were also tested, including a 6 dB or fourfold increase to 4% (−14 dBc or 25:1). <a href="/wiki/National_Public_Radio" class="mw-redirect" title="National Public Radio">National Public Radio</a> was opposed to any increase because it is likely to increase interference to their member stations, particularly to their <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_translator" class="mw-redirect" title="Broadcast translator">broadcast translators</a>, which are secondary and therefore left unprotected from such interference.

Through measurement of the audio signal and through informal listening, we have found that DAB suffers from several problems:<br /> <ul><li>The stereo image is smeared due to heavy use of joint stereo coding. Often the stereo image lacks focus and gives incorrect localization of instruments, in certain cases there is also incorrect balance between a vocalist and the background music.</li> <li>The treble cut-off frequency is usually as low as 14 kHz and the result is a lack of brightness and a veiled sound stage. In particular young people will notice this degradation.</li></ul> As young people are the target group for some of these stations, such as P3, this must be considered to be very undesirable. The reason is that the bit rates for all the channels in the Norwegian DAB network today are much lower than what scientific evaluation of audio quality has recommended, i.e. lower than 192–256 kbit/s which was projected when DAB was debated in Stortinget (Norwegian Parliament) in 1998. When the capacity is fully utilized, stations with music in the <a href="/wiki/Oslo" title="Oslo">Oslo</a> area use these bit rates:<br /> <ul><li>Three stations use 160 kbit/s with an audio quality similar to FM: P2, Alltid Klassisk1 and P4</li> <li>Twelve stations use 128 kbit/s with lower quality than FM, incl. P1 and P3.</li> <li>Two stations transmit in mono at rates of 80 and 96 kbit/s (Radio 2 Digital Moox and NRK Barn2)</li></ul> It would have been desirable to stop using 128 kbit/s as the standard bit rate for music, and use 160 bit/s instead. More demanding material should have the same quality as MP3 at 128 kbit/s, i.e. 192 kbit/s in DAB. As of today, there is not capacity to increase bit rates to these levels, so the DAB network has too low capacity with respect to requirements for decent audio quality.<br /> The broadcast companies want us to make a choice between FM, with the best audio quality in stationary receivers, and DAB which is best in a car. Today this is an unnecessary choice as there are no technological problems in making a digital radio which is better than FM on all accounts:<br /> <ul><li>Reception without garbling in cars</li> <li>Capacity for all the stations one wants</li> <li>Audio with near-CD quality</li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>— Steve Holm (2007)<sup id="cite_ref-Holm-2007-DAB-Lydkvalitetet_42-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Holm-2007-DAB-Lydkvalitetet-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> </span></li> <li id="cite_note-57"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-57">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"> Former U.S. analog TV channel 6 occupied the upper end of the lower <a href="/wiki/VHF" class="mw-redirect" title="VHF">VHF</a> TV band, which impinged on the lowest two channels of the <a href="/wiki/FM_broadcast_band" title="FM broadcast band">FM broadcast band</a>.
