DAB

Who invented DAB
Digital Audio Broadcasting has been developed by a consortium of manufacturers and broadcasters. The BBC pioneered DAB digital radio and was the first broadcaster in the UK to build a transmission network and start broadcasting DAB in 1995.
How does it work
DAB radio works by using both MPEG and COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) technology which converts the music or speech from analogue signal into digital (binary) code. This vastly reduces the potential for the broadcast to be corrupted during transmission by weather conditions, and other problems that can degrade the quality of reception.
