How It Works
• HDRadioTechnologyproductsworkthesameway
as conventional radio, with a signal broadcast by a
station and received by consumers in a specific area
• However,insteadofsendingoneanalogsignal,HD
Radio stations send a bundled signal made up of
both analog and digital signals
• Thedigitalsignaliscompressed,andwhenreceived
by an HD Radio receiver, the signal is decoded into as
many as three separate channels, each with unique
programming, including additional or alternative
format music, news, traffic and sports
• Becausethesignalisdigital,soundqualityis
significantly superior to traditional radio, virtually
eliminatingbuzzing,staticandpopping
