Specification of the radio data system (RDS) for VHF/FM sound broadcasting in the frequency range from 87,5 MHz to 108,0 MHz (IEC 62106:2015)

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.

Spezifikation des Radio-Daten-Systems (RDS) für den VHF/FM-Tonrundfunk im Frequenzbereich 87,5 MHz bis 108,0 MHz (IEC 62106:2015)

Spécification des systèmes des radiocommunications des données (RDS) pour la radiodiffusion VHF/FM dans la plage de fréquences comprise entre 87,5 MHz et 108,0 MHz (IEC 62106:2015)

Specifikacija radijskega podatkovnega sistema (RDS) za zvokovno radiodifuzijo VHF/FM v frekvenčnem območju od 87,5 MHz do 108,0 MHz (IEC 62106:2015)

Ta mednarodni standard opisuje radijski podatkovni sistem RDS, namenjen uporabi za zvokovno radiodifuzijo VHF/FM v območju od 87,5 do 108,0 MHz, ki lahko nosi bodisi stereofonične (sistem za pilotski ton) ali monofonične programe, kot je navedeno v Priporočilu ITU-R BS 450-3 in Priporočilu ITU-R BS.643-3). Glavni cilji sistema RDS so izboljšanje delovanja sprejemnikov FM in omogočanje uporabnikom prijaznega upravljanja slednjih s pomočjo funkcij, kot so Identifikacija programa, Prikaz imena programske storitve in predvsem, če je na voljo, samodejno uglaševanje prenosnih in avtoradijev. Ustrezne informacije o osnovnem uglaševanju in preklapljanju morajo tako biti implementirane prek tipa skupine 0 (glejte 6.1.5.1). Za razliko od številnih drugih funkcij sistema RDS je implementacija slednjih informacij obvezna.
