Topic: FM broadcast radio


  
  Broadcast Signals
This is in contrast to FM radio where the signal is used to modulate the frequency of the carrier.
When information is broadcast from an FM radio station, the electrical image of the sound (taken from a microphone or other program source) is used to modulate the frequency of the carrier wave transmitted from the broadcast antenna of the radio station.
The FM band of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 88 MHz and 108 MHz and the carrier waves for individual stations are separated by 200 kHz for a maximum of 100 stations.

 FM radio Information - fm radio
FM radio is a broadcast technology invented by Edwin Howard Armstrong toronto fm radio stations that uses frequency modulation to provide high-fidelity sound over broadcast am and fm radio waves radio.
The new york fm radio stations S signal is amplitude-modulated onto a 38kHz suppressed carrier to produce a double-sideband suppressed carrier (DSBSC) signal in the range 23 to 53 kHz.
It san antonio fm radio stations is normal practice to apply pre-emphasis to the left and right channels before matrixing, and to apply de-emphasis at the receiver after matrixing.

 Radio Broadcast Signals
The FM radio band is from 88 to 108 MHz between VHF television Channels 6 and 7.
Heterodyning is a method for transferring a broadcast signal from its carrier to a fixed local intermediate frequency in the receiver so that most of the receiver does not have to be retuned when you change channels.
We now take for granted that one radio receiver can be tuned to any of the locally broadcast radio stations, but if it were not for heterodyning, you would have to have one receiver for each broadcast station.

 Radio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Radio was used to transmit pictures as television as early as the 1920s.
Another effect is the shorter radio waves act more like travelling in straight lines that are not back towards the Earth by the ionosphere resulting in a shorter effective reception FM receivers are subject to the capture effect which causes the radio to only the strongest signal when multiple signals appear the same frequency.

 Using a first IF of 43.5 MHZ or less in an FM radio in a television tuner - Patent 5146337
A single tuner in a television receiver is employed for tuning television signals in at least one band of television frequencies, and broadcast FM radio signals in an FM band of frequencies adjacent to the television band of frequencies.
That is, a particular FM radio signal is selected and converted in frequency from one of the FM radio band of frequencies, to a first intermediate frequency of 43.3 MHz.
It is also recognized herein that the FM trap should exhibit a frequency response having relatively sharp "skirts" to minimize interference with signals of adjacent television channels, and having a substantially flat band reject region to provide FM signals having a substantially uniform amplitude throughout the FM radio broadcast band.

 FM broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original FM broadcast band in the United States until 1946 was on 42 to 50 MHz with 0.2 MHz channel spacing.
FM started in Australia in 1947 but did not catch on and was shut down in 1961 to expand the television band.
FM transmitters have been used to construct miniature wireless microphones for espionage and surveillance purposes (covert listening devices or so-called "bugs"); the advantage to using the FM broadcast band for such operations is that the receiving equipment would not be considered particularly suspect.

 FM broadcast band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many Japanese radios are designed to be capable of receiving both the Japanese FM band and the CCIR FM band, so that the same model can be sold within Japan or exported.
If these radios were sold in the USA, for example, the 76-88 section would be marked TV sound for VHF channels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, with the 88-108 section band as normal FM.
Early FM broadcasting in North America originally used the 42-50MHz band (this range was also used by a class of experimental wideband AM starions known as "apex broadcasters") shortly after WW2 the FCC decided to move FM broadcasters to the 88.1-105.9 (later 87.9-107.9) MHz band.

 The Boston Radio Archives: John Shepard's FM Stations
Broadcasting the Yankee Network programs just as W1XOJ did, this new station would be capable of reaching a very underserved area of Northern New England, an audience he estimated at nearly a million people.
While today we take FM for granted, it is interesting to recall that not so long ago, the jury was still out: people agreed that the sound quality was wonderful, but few realised that one day FM would become dominant and AM would recede in importance.
We who live in New England are fortunate that we were on the cutting edge as FM grew; and no discussion of those formative years is complete without giving credit to John Shepard 3rd for his vision (and to his dedicated staff of engineers for their persistence in the face of overwhelming odds).

 Long-haul 88-108 MHz FM DX from Pacific/Asia
Since long-haul FM DX signals generally arrive at low angles over the horizon, it is ideal to mount yagi antennas at the maximum practical height possible.
At FM band frequencies the DX signal is reflected (more correctly, refracted) back to earth at the path midpoint by intense ("spread F") ionization close to the geomagnetic equator.
The current Australian FM DX distance record is David Headland's reception of KSBS FM 92.1 MHz, Pago Pago, American Samoa, received at Marlo beach, Victoria, Australia, at a distance of 2,972 miles or 4,783 km.
