Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcast system.
General information
● DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single frequency(ensemble).
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data services including travel andtraffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● There is no fading (weakening of
the sound) that is typical of AM or
FM reception. The DAB signal is reproduced at a constant volume.
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
Page 56 of 129
56RadioIf the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver, the
system switches over to the
same programme on another
DAB or FM station.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable FM stations.
