Radio Broadcasting Systems - Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) to mobile, portable and fixed receivers

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.

Sistemi radiodifuzije - Digitalna zvokovna radiodifuzija (DAB) za mobilne, prenosne in fiksne sprejemnike

Ta dokument določa standard radiodifuzije za sistem digitalne zvokovne radiodifuzije (DAB), zasnovan za zagotavljanje visoko kakovostnih digitalnih zvokovnih in video programov ter podatkovnih storitev za mobilni, prenosni in fiksni sprejem za zemeljske oddajnike v frekvenčnih pasovih VHF ter za distribucijo prek kabelskih omrežij. Sistem digitalne zvokovne radiodifuzije je zasnovan za zagotavljanje spektra in energijsko učinkovitih tehnik pri načrtovanju omrežij za zemeljske oddajnike. To je poznano kot enofrekvenčno omrežje (SFN) in tehnika zapolnjevanja vrzeli. Sistem digitalne zvokovne radiodifuzije izpolnjuje zahteve za skupno rabo z drugimi radiokomunikacijskimi storitvami.
Ta dokument določa prenosni signal sistema digitalne zvokovne radiodifuzije. Vključuje kodirne algoritme za multipleksiranje zvokovnih in video programov ter podatkovnih storitev, kodiranje kanalov in modulacijo. Predviden je tudi prenos dodatnih podatkovnih storitev, ki so lahko povezane s programom ali pa ne, in sicer v okviru skupne zmogljivosti sistema. Ta dokument podaja informacije o sistemski konfiguraciji, kar zajema podatke o kompletih, storitvah, komponentah storitev in njihovo povezovanje. Ta dokument opisuje nominalne značilnosti oddanega signala digitalne zvokovne radiodifuzije. Vidiki, povezani z zasnovo sprejemnika, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta.
