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.
