The robust nature of DAB transmissions does away with the problem of the hiss and fade (multipath interference) that can spoil analogue radio transmissions. This is particularly good news for listeners to BBC Radio Five Live who can now hear the latest news and sport without all the usual problems associated with Medium Wave reception.
DAB signals are also far less likely to be affected by adverse weather conditions or local sources of interference.
DAB technology allows broadcasters to transmit far more radio stations within the same comparable amount of radio spectrum compared to FM. It was this extra capacity that allowed the BBC to launch the five 'digital only' services in 2002 - in addition to the BBC’s established stations: BBC Radio 1 to 5 as well as the BBC World Service. The flexible nature of the BBC’s national DAB radio mutliplex means that the BBC can create secondary services - allowing Radio 4's Long Wave content via DAB, and double the coverage capacity of Radio Five Live with its sister channel; Five Live Sports Extra.
As well as music and speech - DAB transmissions also contain data information.
A DAB set utilises a screen, on which various kinds of information can be displayed.
