DAB radio
DAB is a procedure for digital transmission of radio
programs.
The DAB system was developed in Europe within
the framework of a European development program
and in recent years has been introduced in many
European countries.
The audio signals from up to 12 radio stations are
packaged into a multiplex and bundled into a single
data stream. This is then broadcast via one or more
terrestrial transmitters. This means that individual
transmitters are no longer needed for each radio
station.
In addition to the much larger range of stations that
can be provided to radio listeners through DAB,
there are also several big technical advantages
over the current FM, MW, LW and SW
transmission:
• Provided the receiver can receive the signal from the DAB transmitter, sound reproduction
is guaranteed. There is no fading, as is typical
for AM and mobile FM reception.
• Interference, such as crackling noises caused by high voltage lines, is filtered out by the DAB
receiver. • With DAB, there is no overlapping of different
stations.
• If the transmission signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings while en route, this
causes interference with FM. With DAB,
however, reception is significantly improved by
this.
Service linking
As soon as the audio device no longer receives
the FM signal in sufficient quality, it automatically
switches to the corresponding DAB transmitter, but
the FM display in the audio device remains active.
When the FM signal becomes available again in
sufficient quality, the device automatically switches
back.
AUX port
The audio systems have an auxiliary device input
(AUX IN) which enables the playback of auxiliary
devices such as MiniDisc or MP3 players via the
vehicle's audio system. Sounds is played back
through the vehicle loudspeakers.
