259 - Splošni Akt o uporabi sistema RDS in identifikaciji v DAB omrežjih

The present document establishes a broadcasting standard for the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system designed
for delivery of high-quality digital audio and video programmes and data services for mobile, portable and fixed
reception from terrestrial transmitters in the Very High Frequency (VHF) frequency bands as well as for distribution
through cable networks. The DAB system is designed to provide spectrum and power efficient techniques in terrestrial
transmitter network planning, known as the Single Frequency Network (SFN) and the gap-filling technique. The DAB
system meets the required sharing criteria with other radiocommunication services.
The present document defines the DAB transmission signal. It includes the coding algorithms for multiplexing of audio
and video programmes and data services, channel coding and modulation. Provision is also made for transmission of
additional data services which may be programme related or not, within the limit of the total system capacity. The
present document provides information on the system configuration which includes information about the ensembles,
services, service components and linking of them.
The present document describes the nominal characteristics of the emitted DAB signal. The aspects related to the
receiver design are outside the scope of the present document.

This International Standard describes the Radio Data System, RDS, intended for application
to VHF/FM sound broadcasts in the range 87,5 MHz to 108,0 MHz which may carry either
stereophonic (pilot-tone system) or monophonic programmes (as stated in ITU-R
Recommendation BS 450-3 and ITU-R Recommendation BS.643-3). The main objectives of
RDS are to enable improved functionality for FM receivers and to make them more userfriendly
by using features such as Programme Identification, Programme Service name
display and, where applicable, automatic tuning for portable and car radios, in particular. The
relevant basic tuning and switching information therefore has to be implemented by the type 0
group (see 6.1.5.1), and it is not optional unlike many of the other possible features in RDS.

The present document establishes a broadcasting standard for the Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system designed for delivery of high-quality digital audio programme and data services for mobile, portable and fixed reception from terrestrial or satellite transmitters in the Very High Frequency (VHF)/Ultra High Frequency (UHF) frequency bands as well as for distribution through cable networks. The DAB system is designed to provide spectrum and power efficient techniques in terrestrial transmitter network planning, known as the Single Frequency Network (SFN) and the gap-filling technique. The DAB system is suitable for satellite as well as hybrid/mixed terrestrial/satellite broadcasting, using a simple, nearly omni-directional receiving antenna. The DAB system meets the required sharing criteria with other radiocommunication services. The present document defines the DAB transmission signal. It includes the coding algorithms for audio, multiplexing of audio programme and data services, channel coding and modulation. A limited range of supplementary services associated with programme services is defined. Provision is also made for transmission of additional data services which may be programme related or not, within the limit of the total system capacity. The present document provides information on the system configuration which includes information about the ensembles, services, service components and linking of them. Provision is made for a compatible cross-reference to existing Frequency Modulation (FM) services and Amplitude Modulation (AM) services. The present document describes the nominal characteristics of the emitted DAB signal. The aspects related to the receiver design are outside the scope of the present document. Hardware implementation considerations are not covered.
