Digital Radio

Digital radio describes radio technologies which carry information
as a digital signal, by means of a digital modulation method. The
most common meaning is digital audio broadcasting technologies, but
the topic may also cover TV broadcasting as well as many two-way
digital wireless communication technologies. The acronym DAB
(Digital Audio Broadcasting) is synonymous with the Eureka 147
standard.One-way digital radio standardsOne-way standards are those used for broadcasting, as opposed to
those used for two-way communication. While digital broadcasting
offers many potential benefits, its introduction has been hindered
by a lack of global agreement on standards. The Eureka 147 standard
(DAB) for digital radio is the most commonly used and is coordinated
by the World DMB Forum, which represents more than 30 countries.
This standard of digital radio technology was defined in the late
1980s, and is now being introduced in many countries. Commercial DAB
receivers began to be sold in 1999 and, by 2006, 500 million people
were in the coverage area of DAB broadcasts, although by this time
sales had only taken off in the UK and Denmark. In 2006 there are
approximately 1,000 DAB stations in operation.[1] There have been
criticisms of the Eureka 147 standard and so a new 'DAB+' standard
has been proposed. |
