About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission system where
audio signals are converted to digital signals for broadcasting.
DAB is broadcast as a group of data called multiplex (ensemble) which
may contain one or more stations (services). Each station contains a
primary service and there may be one or more secondary services.
This allows several programmes or services to be transmitted on a
single frequency.
