with the EBU (European Broadcasting Union)

specifications.

The device is made up of two sections: a

bandpass filter for precise RDS band selection

and a demodulating section that performs the

extraction od RDS data stream (RDDA) and clock

(RDCL), to be further processed by a suitable

RDS decoder.

Outputs for RDS signal quality and ARI indication

are also present.
