QUESTION:
The output power of an FM transmitter is 5 kW. If the power loss in transmission line is
around 10 W and the antenna has a power gain of 6 dB, what is the ERP of the station
in kW?

Choices:
a. 5 kW b. 30 kW c. 20 kW d. 19.96 kW

ANSWER:
d. 19.96 kW

SOLUTION (IF PROBLEM SOLVING):

GANT = 6 dB = 4
ERP = (5000 – 10) x 4 = 4990 x 4 = 19,960 W or 19.96 kW

QUESTION:
Determine the visual carrier frequency of TV channel 9.

Choices:
a. 175.25 MHz b. 187.25 MHz c. 193.25 MHz d. 199.25 MHz

ANSWER:
b. 187.25 MHz

SOLUTION (IF PROBLEM SOLVING):

fNLB = 174 + (N – 7)6, using Arithmetic Progression
f9LB = 174 + (9 – 7)6 = 174 + (2)6 = 174 + 12 = 186 MHz, low band frequency of
channel 9
fVC = 186 + 1.25 = 187.25 MHz, visual carrier frequency of channel 9
