EtherWaves Launches Juliet DAB+/DMB Stand-Alone Production Platform
By providing a high level of system integration, Juliet enables radio manufactures to quickly build DAB+ digital radio receivers or to add DAB capability to existing products. Controlled by the host MCU, Juliet only requires power, antenna, and an audio amplifier. The high-performance platform greatly reduces time to market for radio manufacturers at very competitive retail prices.
With Juliet's user friendly API and a choice of interface connections through UART, SPI, and I2C, manufacturers can preserve their original design look and feel while delivering DAB+ and DMB with minimal efforts. The platform is based on Analog Device BF532 low cost DSP executing EtherWaves' ClearSignal software to deliver a multi-featured state of the art digital radio.
Featuring a compact form factor, Juliet provides an Eureka 147 DAB, DAB+ and T-DMB receiver equipped with the latest features expected from a high-end digital radio product; a MP3/WMA/AAC player supported by a SD Card connector, clock-radio functionality, and crystallized sound processing.
The Juliet platform features a very low bill of materials to produce a DAB+/DMB solution; a single-chip RF front-end unit, a baseband with all the supporting circuitry, audio processing unit, a D/A converter, and SDRAM which is available in several sizes for various rewind storage time periods.
Clients can choose audio outputs ranging from feature line-out audio or digital streams of either DMB-TS or Digital Audio I2S/SPDIF.
"The platform is an ideal low cost route to market for manufacturers needing to quickly incorporate both DAB, T-DMB TS into next generation portable devices. Juliet is the ideal solution for radio manufacturers who want to use their existing MCU when developing a complete DAB radio receiver. EtherWaves is seeking to partner with manufacturers and importers whose end-products are distributed in Europe, Korea and in Australia," said Linda Kedem, EtherWaves' Marketing Manager.
