scope:

The present document provides brief explanations about the many different standards and guidelines for Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), what they cover and how they interrelate. The present document seeks to provide a useful guide to allow implementers to determine which aspects of the DAB system are in common use, and which are more specialized, for both consumer and professional equipment. Those specifications that are no longer considered to be in mainstream use (and are identified as "Historical" in the ETSI Work Programme) are also detailed.
