Automotive News PACE Award competition for its MACH(R) DSP
technology for HD Radio(TM) reception. This patented technology was

broadcasting is available across the United States from more than
1,000 stations. The technology enables AM and FM radio stations to
broadcast their programs digitally, simultaneously with their
analog signal. The result dramatically improves sound quality --
digital FM sounds comparable to compact disc while digital AM
sounds comparable to today's analog FM. Both enjoy static-free
reception and the ability to transmit data directly to vehicles.
And today, FM stations can offer additional program channels
through multicasting -- more than 400 additional FM channels are
offered through this new technology. Visteon's DSP technology has
provided an important analog development platform to maximize
digital HD Radio technology. "Visteon's expertise in MACH Digital
Signal Processing technology has enabled us to achieve a leadership
role in developing HD Radio products for the automotive industry,"
said Steve Meszaros, vice president of Visteon's electronics
product group. "We are honored to receive industry recognition for
this advancement, which continues to draw high consumer interest."
