Two members of the Digital Radio Mondiale consortium have completed the development of a support module that is compatible with multiple digital radio standards.
The model from RF2Digital, based in South Korea, and Elements Innovation, based in Hong Kong, is available in two configurations: One that supports DRM, DAB, FM and AM and another that supports DRM, Chinese Digital Radio (CDR), FM and AM.
According to a DRM consortium release, the module can be deployed in consumer electronic products, such as in-vehicle infotainment systems, home radios and other portable audio devices.
