A digital audio system (20) can include a receiver (24) coupled to an RF
modulator (30), a source signal modulated by the RF modulator to provide
a modulated signal, and an external antenna (32) for receiving the source
signal and for transmitting the modulated signal. The receiver can be a
satellite radio receiver or any digital source such as an FM radio or MP3
player for example. The system can further include a coupling network
(26) coupled between the receiver and the external antenna and between
the RF modulator and the external antenna. The system can further include
an internal antenna (34) coupled to the RF modulator for radiating the
modulated signal via a second path. The digital audio system can be a
satellite digital audio radio system for a vehicle 31 with the external
antenna placed outside the vehicle and the internal antenna placed inside
the vehicle.
