BS EN 62634 is a safety standard on Radio data system (RDS).
BS EN 62634 describes how to measure minimum RDS receiver performance requirements which concern three RDS receiver product categories.
However, it should be noted that there are also RDS receiver products on the market that significantly outperform the minimum RDS receiver performance requirements quoted.
Note: Methods and algorithms to achieve automatic programme service-following by means of AF lists are, however, very consumer- and manufacturer-specific, and are therefore not covered in BS EN 62634.
BS EN 62634 on receiver products, characteristics, and methods of measurement is relevant to:
Radio data system (RDS) is a communications protocol standard for embedding lesser amounts of digital information in conventional radio broadcasts.
BS EN 62634 gives commonly agreed to measure methods to complement the RDS standard IEC 62106 and the RBDS standard (NRSC-4-A) in the USA. The RDS measuring methods presented in BS EN 62634 are directed at all manufacturers of RDS receiver products, and in particular tuner modules with embedded RDS functionality, including TMC.
Overall, BS EN 62634 is useful as it assists with the receiver products, characteristics, and methods of measurement which can be beneficial for your business.
