What is an RDS encoder?

Table of Contents

RDS (Radio Data System) is a way of sending ASCII text and other metadata to the radio display. It encodes a 1187.5Bps data stream onto the 57Khz subcarrier (third harmonic of the 19Khz FM Stereo Pilot signal). Stations use RDS to encode the station name, song data, program guide and traffic information.

What does the Radio Data System do?

The Radio Data System (RDS) enables FM radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal.

What is stereo encoder?

This stereo encoder is a halfway between analogue and digital processing. It combines the best from both domains to provide high-quality and easy to build device. The sampling frequency used in this stereo encoder is 97 times (!!!) higher than the pilot tone frequency.

What is RDS in a car?

“RDS” stands for “Radio Data System” and it allows FM broadcasters to send far more than just an analog audio signal out over the air waves. Using a 57 kHz “subcarrier,” stations can transmit digital RDS data for reception by RDS-equipped FM tuners.

How does RDS radio work?
