Digital remodulation
First Claim
1. A method of digital remodulation of a received signal using a digital audio radio and a first digital radio frequency, comprising the steps of:
- re-encoding the received signal to provide a re-encoded digital signal;
reformatting the re-encoded digital signal into a new digital format signal;
digitally modulating a radio frequency carrier with the new digital format signal; and
selectively switching the digital audio radio from the first digital radio frequency to a second radio frequency having the radio frequency carrier with the new digital formal signal.

Abstract
A method (30) of digital remodulation of a received or source signal using a digital audio radio (116) having a first digital radio frequency path (119 to 116) or using a first digital radio frequency comprises the steps of re-encoding (38) the received signal to provide a re-encoded digital signal, reformatting (40) the re-encoded digital signal into a new digital format signal, and digitally modulating (42) a radio frequency carrier with the new digital format signal. The method further comprises the step of selectively switching (42) a radio frequency path of the digital audio radio from the first digital radio frequency path to a second radio frequency path (114 to 116) or from the first digital radio frequency to a second digital radio frequency having the radio frequency carrier with the new digital format signal.

9. A method of providing an audio signal from an auxiliary source to a digital radio receiver for playback in lieu of a digital broadcast signal received at the digital radio receiver comprising the steps of:
-
reformatting the audio signal into a digital audio format compatible with the digital broadcast signal;
modulating the reformatted audio signal onto a radio frequency to which the radio receiver can be tuned, for transmission via a conductor; and
providing the modulated reformatted audio signal to an antenna switch unit via the conductor, the antenna switch unit also being connected to an antenna for receiving the broadcast signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. An apparatus for providing audio signals from an auxiliary source to a digital audio radio receiver, said digital audio radio receiver receiving a digital broadcast signal via an antenna, the apparatus comprising:
-
an encoder for encoding the audio signals from the auxiliary source to provide a re-encoded signal;
a formatter for formatting the re-encoded signal into a digital audio format compatible with the digital broadcast signal providing a reformatted digital audio signal; and
a modulator unit for modulating the reformatted digital audio signal onto a radio frequency to which said digital audio radio receiver can be tuned. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
