AM Problems
Ic = Po ÷ Vcc = 57.14 W ÷ 60 v
= 952.4 mA
AM Problems
• Sol’n. fr = ___1____
2π √ LC
Sol’n: Ps = Vcc ▪ Ic
= Po ÷ η
Po = η ▪ Vcc ▪ Ic = ( 0.6) ( 50) ( 0.25)
= 7.5 Watt
AM Problems
Pa = mA2 • Ps
= [ (0.85)2 ÷ 2 ] (120)
= 43.35 W

FM Broadcast Frequency Allocation
FMn = FM1 + (n – 1) BW
• ERP = PT x GT or ERP = PT x GF
What is the difference between FM and AM
radio?
• AM broadcasting is simpler than FM but the difference in
complexity and price are very marginal at present.
• AM is more prone to signal distortion and degradation compared
to FM.
• FM doesn’t degrade linearly with distance.
• AM usually broadcasts in mono which makes it sufficient for talk
radio.
• FM can transmit in stereo making it ideal for music.
• AM has a longer range than FM.
Advantages of FM over AM
7. Draw a floor plan if you are going to have a base for the
station. The basic things you need are a soundproof studio,
computer, mixing desk, microphone, music library and
transmitter. Make a list alongside the plan about the
equipment you need to obtain.
8. Collect the information about the station and review the
information. Review the details you have chosen and check
that the project is cohesive. For example, there is no point
creating a design if your budget is PhP 50,000. This project
would be better suited to the online domain.
