What is DAB Digital Radio?

DAB Digital Radio is revitalises the radio experience in the UK. DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting,and it is truly Revolutionising the way we listen to radio today. Traditional analogue frequency spectrumssuch as FM and AM have become overcrowded, leaving no space for new stations. In many areas listener nowhave double the choice of stations to listen to compared to FM radio.

Digital broadcasting also allows the sending of data and multi-media signals to your radio. DAB is a digitaltechnology and as such has many advantages over the traditional analogue broadcasting being used.

Better Reception - Crystal Clear, Interference Free Sound

DAB digital radio doesn't suffer from the annoying effects of interference caused by adverse atmosphericconditions or electrical interference, which can spoil analogue broadcasts. DAB Digital Radio sounds great!With DAB digital radio what you get is more robust reception and pure, clear CD-like quality sound. No more hiss,crackle, popping or fading of music, just great radio. You wont believe it until you hear it.

So Easy To Use
At a touch of a button you can tune into another DAB digital radio station. There will be no more fine tuningot searching for stations to get the best reception - a DAB set allows the listener to scroll through a list ofavailable stations - then simple tune in by pressing the 'select' button. Straight away you get super clear radioreception without the fuss.

Radio stations are displayed by their name, from the radio's LCD screen scroll through the many stationsat a touch of a button. No more frequencies to search through or differcult stations to remember.

The DAB Technology

So who invented DAB?
DAB digital radio (Digital Audio Broadcasting) has been under development since 1981 at the Institut fürRundfunktechnik (IRT) and since 1987 as part of a European research project (Eureka 147). Broadcasters, researchinstitutes, network providers/operators and consumer electronics firms have contributed. The BBC pioneered DABdigital radio and was the first broadcaster in the UK to build a transmission network andstart broadcasting DAB in 1995.

So how does DAB technology work?
DAB radio works by utilising both MPEG and COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) technology whichconverts the music or speech from analogue signal into digital (binary) code. This vastly reduces the potentialfor the broadcast to be corrupted during transmission by weather conditions, and other problems that can degradethe quality of reception.

So how is DAB different from FM?
The 'multipath' interference which disturbs FM reception (caused by radio signals bouncing off buildings and hills)is eliminated in DAB. Digital radio sets have processors which filter out interference and correct signal errors.Digital radio is designed to use 'multipath' to its advantage. DAB technology allows the receiver to combinedelayed signals, making for a more robust reception overall.
