FM Have you ever wondered why the fm radio in your car has a higher sound quality when compared to the am radio? But why the am radio has a longer range than the fm radio wave? The following extract will cover the wave theory, wave carriers, and modulation in order to give a thorough understanding of am and fm waves and their surrounding concepts. THE WAVE THEORY: The wave theory states that- waves transfer energy from one point to another; however they do so without transferring matter. They consist
Birth of the BBC In 1920 the first true radio station (KDKA) began regular broadcasting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the United States. Within two years the number of stations in America reached into the hundreds, concerts were being broadcast regularly in Europe from The Hague, and in Britain, Marconi stations broadcast from Chelmsford, Essex, and then London. It was in Britain that fears over the "chaos of the ether" led to the Post Office and leading radio manufacturers setting
Have you ever been jamming to your favorite song on the radio and every swear they put a beep or some random word? For example, “Walk up to the club like, 'What up? I got a big (beep).' I'm so pumped about some (beep) from the thrift shop.” It tends to get very annoying. So the question is, should radio stations censor songs? Most parents will say yes. They do not want their children to hear those words. I have respect for these parents. Except, my opinion is different. I think radio stations should
industry. WEEI has been one of the few radio stations, that has found consistent success, despite facing numerous changes. While most stations have opted to settle down in either FM or AM radio, WEEI is continuing to make an impact on both ends. Both frequencies offer different programing, so listeners can tune into local hosts, or nationally syndicated shows from other sports networks like ESPN. When examining other radio stations, a majority of them lack the history and progression WEEI has endured, while
Mission Statement: The Western Station was created for listeners of many different tastes, focusing heavily on the genres intertwined with country and western. The Western Station is a community based radio station, supporting the local community whilst being run for the community, by volunteers from the community. The music played on The Western Station covers a range of diverse sub-categories of the genres, from country, swing, blues to rockabilly stylings. The Western Station’s mission is to keep
order to keep people hooked on to the updated world information. Actual product The actual product is a tangible product. As a radio station, their actual products definitely are the channels, radio programmes and DJs. There are three channel frequencies such as FM 881, FM 903 and AM 864. Yet, the radio programmes are mainly provided in FM and clearly targeted to different levels of audience. - Market segmentation and Positioning In order to responses the targeted market’s desires., the positioning
On writing assignment two, we had to compare and contrast two items and write an essay about them. In this paper I chose FM radio and Satellite radio; because I want to get in the radio field after graduation and I thought it would be good to know the difference. I already knew the basics of radio but I wanted to dig deep and find out how it’s ran and why people pay for satellite radio. Although this was the second writing assignment in class it was the most challenging for me because I had to take
The innovation of Radio is one of the great innovations of human kind. After the first broadcasting station of KDKA in Pittsburgh, the Radio has come across different improvement in its coverage area and technology. The demand was dramatically increased since then. The urban and the village farmers were excited by its use. It became part of everyday life as one way of getting information of social, economic, and political developments. Even today these services are becoming diversified qualitatively
Radio I have selected to listen to CBS (101.1) FM and WNYC (820) AM. CBS FM is considered to be a commercial radio station, were as WNYC is a public radio station. These are two entirely different radio stations, which I've selected to listen to for my assignment. In this essay, I will discuss the format of the stations, how they affect me personally, and the use of productions of each station. CBS FM has an old style sound that works well with the program. The sounds are from the fifties,
With Television being the dominate medium, and Computers taking second position, where does that leave Radio? 95 years ago radio was the second language of mass media and it has been around since, making it a great survivor medium. Radio has changed the way we communicate. The first broadcast was in 1916 out of the garage of Frank Conrad who moved his station to Westinghouse factory where he relaunched the station as KDKA on November 2, 19201. Radio has since branched out with each branch growing
Introduction Over the course of the next two essays we will explore and analyze growth of radio as it matured over the years in addition to what could’ve happened differently had radio been developed during the poverty of the Depression era rather than the wealthy atmosphere of the 1920s. 1. Discuss the evolution of radio from the 1940’S to the present, reflecting on significant changes. During World War II, radio was a key lifeline of information for the masses. Listeners from audiences around
Attracting and keeping the radio audience. Attracting and keeping an audience is an important aspect to any media platform, including radio shows, it guarantees the protection of the show for the long run, fuelled by the quantity of its listeners. 91% of the population tune into radio every week (Rajar, 2013) but radio shows rely on content, presenters and multiplatform services to keep audiences and draw them to their show. To engage and entertain is to attract an audience but in order to keep
Sports Radio Broadcasting Did you know that radio waves travel at 189,000 miles per second? Throughout its long life career, radio has always had a close relationship with sports. Today sports radio continues to be an important media in the athletic culture. Even with the giant, which is sports itself today, sports radio is still one of the most popular, reliable and convenient ways to listen to live games, hear scores, or even listen to sports talk shows. This paper will cover three big subjects
Odds are if you have ever had a favorite radio show on a favorite FM radio station, it’s only a memory from days gone by. The age of the FM radio DJ has been a large part of our culture in the past, but is has slowly been coming to an end. Djs were a very important part of the 60s and pirate radio as well as, continuing to do so throughout the 70s and 80s. Now with the availability of internet radios and national radio stations having a digital setlist, DJ’s no longer have the sway over the radio
they use the radio waves which can be both microwaves and longer radio waves. These are transmitted in two ways: amplitude modulation (AM ) and frequency modulation ( FM ). These two kinds of wave have many differences. Radio waves are among the many types of electromagnetic waves that travel within the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves can be defined by their frequency (in hertz, after Heinich Hertz , who first produced radio waves electronically), which is number of times they pass through
1 Project 1: 1.a RFC 4707: The Netnews Administration System: The Netnews Administration System is a platform which has been made for ease for administration and utilization of Netnews via online. Further the newsgroups data kept in the centralization boundary database in an environment of client-server protocol to be distributed. Moreover, the data can be accessed by news servers, news administrators, and the readers. However, three of them have different access, such as the server can perform configuration
transmitted in two ways: amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). Amplitude radio is created by combining a sound wave from a microphone, tape, record, or CD with a "carrier" radio wave. This results in a wave that transmits voice or programming as its amplitude (intensity) increases and decreases. Frequency modulation conveys information, voice, and music on a radio wave is to slightly change, or modulate, the frequency. One big advantage of frequency modulation is that it is static free
use in society. It will continue by providing the necessary mathematical background of the modulation process. Furthermore, it will enumerate some of the advantages of FM over other forms of modulation, namely AM. Finally, the paper will discuss the design of a basic FM receiver as well as introduce some circuits and circuit components which the reader may not be familiar with. Introduction Frequency modulation (FM) was invented in 1936 by an American electrical engineer/ inventor named Edwin H. Armstrong
transmissions are. Analog transmissions are a continuous variable in amplitude and frequency. The frequency band that they operate over defines analog circuits. People generally produce a bandwidth of 9,900Hz with frequencies in the range of 100Hz to 10,000Hz. Speech that falls between 250Hz and 3,400Hz is considered intelligible speech and therefore the network circuits use bandwidth-limiting filters designed to filter out all frequencies above 4,000Hz. For these reasons, analog circuits are low-speed data communications
