About DAB

About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)

DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio via a network
of terrestrial transmitters. It provides listeners with more choice and
information delivered in crystal clear, crackle-free sound quality.

– The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it

can nd.

– With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember, and
sets are tuned by station name, so there’s no returning on the move.

What is a multiplex?

Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called
a multiplex. Each multiplex works within a frequency spectrum, such as
Band III for DAB broadcasts.

DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS

Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and
audio data services. Some programmes are supported by Dynamic
Label Segments (DLS).This is data which you can read as scrolling text
on your DAB radio display. Some stations transmit the latest news, travel,
and weather, what’s on now and next, website addresses and phone
numbers.

For more information on digital radio coverage and services, please visit:
www.drdb.org.
