DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new

multimedia broadcasting system that transmits

audio programmes with a quality comparable to

that of CDs. This is made possible by the use of a

microcomputer in the DAB tuner which uses the

radio signals sent from multiple aerials and

multi-path signals (reflected radio waves) to

boost the strength of the main signal. This makes

DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to

each band divided into channels (41 in Band-III and
