IBOC TECHNOLOGY

-

                              

Introduction of IBOC:-

In-band on-channel is a hybrid method of transmitting digital radio and analog radio broadcast signals simultaneously on the same frequency.

This technology allows digital audio broadcasting without the need for new spectrum allocation of a digital signal. It utilizes AM and FM bands by attaching the digital side to the standard analog.

This basically comprises the FEC coding and interleaving section 

IBOC IMPLEMENTATION TECHNIQUE:-

The requirement of FM to IBOC isolation is also somewhat difficult to achieve because of the power ratio.

There are few techniques used to combine FM and IBOC signals.

 Low level combines relies essentially on a common amplification technique which means that both the host FM and the IBOC signals are amplified in the same power amplifier (PA)

IBOC adds 1% total channel power; its power consumption is negligible, so the antenna’s power rating is normally not an issue.

WHY DELAY IN ADOPTION?

*Low power  FM stations are prone to interference.

*IBOC licensing and service rules have not been adopted yet.

*The cost is high.

QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum computing  and  qu

BLOCKCHAIN: HOW IT WORKS AND WHY SO POPULAR

Merely, 12 years ago on 31 st October 2008, SATOSHI NAKAMOTO published a paper on the internet about the idea of bitcoin. The Paper’s first few lines almost depicted all. The lines – “A version of electronic cash that would allow payments to be sent directly from one party/person to another party without involving a financial institution.” The value of bitcoin in 2010 was ~ 0 INR and value in 2020 ~ 15 lakhs INR. Recently, it touched its high price point, and now again is the topic of discussion among the market and media. Why so much difference? Like the US dollar is controlled by the Central Bank of US and the Indian rupee is controlled by RBI. Normally, our financial systems are based on “TRUST”. Whereas Cryptocurrency is a digital asset over which central banks or financial institutions have no control or rules/regulation. The currency notes and coins have value just because they are guaranteed by the government and central bank. Every currency has a promissory note with the signa

QUANTUM COMPUTING: CAN FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

-
….IN AN INFINITE UNIVERSE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE IMAGINED MIGHT SOMEWHERE EXIST.                                                                   - Dean Koontz Quantum computing is an emerging domain that is yet to enter our lives. However, the researchers are working hard to bring it into existence. Quantum computing can make the impossible possible. There are some problems that even supercomputers can’t solve. Quantum computers will however have the potential to solve such problems. In the same way that bits are used in a classical computer, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits which can store information in the quantum form. A qubit can be 0 or 1, or a superposition of both 0 and 1. Experts expect quantum computing to help us understand biology and evolution, cure cancer, and even take steps to reverse climate change. Imagine you have four bits. Together, those four bits can have one of 16 possible combinations, such as 1011.  The unique powers of quantum computation may g
