About RDS
The RDS system is governed by the CENELEC EN50067 European standard. This system was initially
designed to assure the functions directly associated to the radio broadcasting program:
¾ Automatic frequency change
¾ Display of the station name on radios
¾ Display of radio-text for home tuners
¾ Use of pre-select buttons on radios to memorise a station and not a frequency
The RDS system transmits data via a 57 kHz sub-carrier. Audemat-Aztec’s reputation is mainly due to its
specialisation in the RDS field, which makes it a privileged supplier of many public and private operators using
RDS.
