SSH ETS 300 750:1997 ed.1

Radio broadcasting systems; Very High Frequency (VHF), frequency modulated, sound broadcasting transmitters in the 66 to 73 MHz band

Scope

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers those performance requirements for Very High Frequency (VHF) Frequency Modulation (FM) sound broadcasting transmitters operating in the frequency band 66 MHz to 73 MHz, and modulated in accordance with ITU-R Recommendation 450-2 [1], which has some bearing on the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum. Monophonic signals are transmitted in accordance with section 1, and stereophonic signals in accordance with section 2.2 (pilot tone system) of ITU-R Recommendation 450-2 [1]. This ETS also covers the transmission of supplementary signals as described in ITU-R Recommendation 450-2 [1] and EN 50067 [2]. The RDS (EN 50067 [2]) has been defined in band 87,5 to 108 MHz. The view of RDS Forum held in Budapest during November 1994 is that the 66 to 73 MHz band is not suitable for the transmission of RDS on networked transmissions.
