11 About DAB
What is 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 find.
– With DAB digital stations there are no
frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned
by station name, so there is no returning on the
move.
What is DAB+?
DAB+ is based on the original DAB standard
but uses a more efficient audio codec. Whereas
DAB uses MPEG Audio Layer II (better
known as MP2), DAB+ uses HE-AAC v2
(better known as MP4 or AAC+). This allows
equivalent or better subjective audio quality to
be broadcast at lower bit rates. The increased
efficiency offers benefits for Governments and
Regulators (even better spectrum efficiency),
broadcasters (lower costs per station) and
consumers (a wider choice of stations).
DAB+ is designed to provide the same
functionality as the original DAB radio services
including services following (e.g. to the same
service on another DAB ensemble or its FM
simulcast), traffic announcements and PAD
multimedia data (e.g. dynamic labels such
as title artist information or news headlines;
complementary graphics and images etc.)
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.
