Abstract

The Radio Data System RDS has been specified 10 years ago by the EBU and is now largely implemented in the EU/EFTA countries. Receivers are available from more than 50 manufacturers from all over the world at prices which are only slightly higher than those of receivers that do not have the RDS functionality. This paper describes how the RDS standard was incorporated in the US EIA/NAB specification issued in January 1993. A description is also provided of how RDS is considered and tested in the rest of the world. Special reference is made to TMC (Traffic Message Channel) and it is shown why new receivers are required for TMC implementation.
