What is this BS IEC 62106‑5 - VHF/FM marking of RDS receiver devices about?
Radio Data System (RDS) is a communications protocol standard for embedding small amounts of digital information in conventional FM radio broadcasts. RDS standardizes several types of information transmitted, including time, station identification, and program information.
BS IEC 62106‑5 is the fifth part of the BS IEC 62106 multi-series on RDS. BS IEC 62106‑5 defines receiver profiles and criteria that can be used for marking RDS receiver devices.
Who is BS IEC 62106‑5 - VHF/FM marking of RDS receiver devices for?
BS IEC 62106‑5on VHF/FM baseband coding is useful for:
- Radio stations
- Radio equipment manufactures
- Radio broadcasters
- Product development teams
Why should you use BS IEC 62106‑5 - VHF/FM marking of RDS receiver devices?
Radio technology is constantly evolving. FM radio with RDS is an analogue-digital hybrid system, which is still a valid data transmission technology and only the applications need adaptation. Now the time has come to solve the only disadvantage, the lack of sufficient data capacity. With RDS2, the need to increase the data capacity can be fulfilled.
BS IEC 62106‑5 discusses receiver profiles, marking and certification requirements of RDS devices and compliance testing, receiver profiles, marking on receivers, packaging, and documentation, certification requirements, compliance test, and RDS and RDS2 logo. Using BS IEC 62106 guidelines you would be able to address the issue of data capacity, which lets your customers have better radio reception.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS IEC 62106‑5:2018 supersedes IEC 62106:2015, which is withdrawn. BS IEC 62106‑5:2018 includes a technical change with respect to IEC 62106:2015.
These are:
- Provision has been made to carry RDS on multiple data-streams (RDS2)
- A logo for RDS2 has been added
- New are receiver profiles, conformity requirements, certification, and compliance test
