Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB is a technology for broadcasting audio programming in digital form that was designed in the late 1980s. The original objectives of converting to digital systems were to enable higher fidelity, greater noise immunity, mobile services, and new services, although in practice the audio quality is invariably worse than on FM.
The acronym DAB is used both to identify the generic technology of digital audio broadcasting, and specific technical standards, particularly the Eureka 147 standard described below. Standardization of DAB technology is promoted by the World DAB Forum, which represents more than 30 countries (but excludes the United States, which has opted for a proprietary system called HD Radio or IBOC).
DAB receivers should not be confused with other types of radio receivers generically referred to as digital, but which are in fact primarily based on analog technology with a few complementary digital features such as synthesized tuning and LCD frequency displays - e.g. "digital tuner" usually refers to an analogue AM or FM receiver where the tuned frequency is displayed as digits. Other cases are DVB-T and DVB-H services which, although designed for digital video broadcasts, often incorporate some digital audio channels to utilise spare bandwidth.
