What is DAB digital radio?
DAB radio is a totally new way of transmission. It uses digital signals
rather than the analogue signals that FM and MW wavebands transmit on.
This enables near digital quality audio and enables more stations to be
broadcast using a narrow waveband. DAB can also transmit additional
data with the audio channels.
The stations broadcast on a single frequency network, called an ensemble
or multiplex. These can contain many different stations and are on 1
frequency. Each multiplex is transmitted on a set frequency range and are
broadcast in the frequency band III (174 – 240MHz), which is sub-divided
into 41 blocks labelled 5A to 13F. Each can contain 1 multiplex.
Secondary services and additional data are available in each multiplex.
The number of multiplexes that you will receive will vary upon the
geographical location.
So instead of knowing the frequency, you just need to select the station
name, making it much easier to tune to your favourite station.
