1. Introduction
DAB02 is a digital radio with DAB, DAB+, FM and MP3
functions.
DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and it is the third-
generation broadcasting system after AM and FM analogue
broadcasting. This new transmission system has great anti-
interference performance qualities and can eliminate noise
and distortion during the transmission process, automatically
correcting errors, can also be amended which leads it to
provide near CD-quality sound.
DAB+ is the updated version of the DAB standard and is used

China and South Korea. The DAB+ standard is based on
HE-AACv2 and can deliver the same high quality sound at a
