Ensemble, station and service
The number of stations that make up one frequency differ
between DAB and analogue radio. Analogue stations all
broadcast on different frequencies, even if it is the same
company doing the broadcasting. With DAB however, it is
possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same
frequency.
In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency
is called an ensemble.

As shown in the diagram, an ensemble consists of a group
of stations which have primary services, they can also
have secondary services. This means, for example, that
commentary on sports events from different areas can all be
broadcast at once.

Depending on the region there is a difference between
broadcast frequency and stations broadcast along the same
frequency. For this reason, a memory of receivable stations
should fi rst be created and then select from those memorized
stations as the reception method.
