Overview
This International Standard describes the Radio Data System, RDS, for application to VHF/FM sound broadcasts in the frequency range 87,5 MHz to 108,0 MHz which may carry either stereophonic (pilot-tone system) or monophonic programmes. The main objective of RDS is to enable improved functionality for FM receivers and to make them more user-friendly by using Programme Identification, Programme Service name display and where applicable, automatic tuning especially for portable and car radios. It is intended to replace DIN EN 62106:2002-10. The responsible Committee is K 742 "Audio-, Video- und Multimediasysteme, -geräte und -komponenten" ("Audio, video and multimedia systems, equipment and components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
