Abstract: A system and method for improving the DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) signal acquisition time stores the demodulated DRM signal and accesses it from memory in order to avoid the additional time taken in waiting for service description channel (SDC) data. The system includes an antenna to receive a DRM signal. A tuner tunes the frequency of receiver to a desired range. An asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC) converts the sampling rate of the received signal to a demodulator sampling rate. A demodulator demodulates the received signal. A memory stores the demodulated signal for reuse. A channel splitter splits the received signal into a fast access channel (FAC), a service description channel (SDC), and a main service channel (MSC). A channel decoder decodes the channel split data. A middleware and an application parses and processes the data in order to output the processed data.
