digital audio broadcasting
- Definition
- Digital radio broadcasting refers to the over-the-air transmission and reception of radio signals using digital technology. The technology makes possible the reproduction of sound that rivals the quality of compact disks. It has the potential of providing new kinds of broadcasting services to the public, as well as non-programming services, such as paging and datacasting, using its ancillary capacity. Digital radio is the digital successor to analog AM and FM radio. (Sources: Public Notice CRTC 1995-95; PC Mag Encyclopedia)
