AM BROADCASTING
SYSTEM
BROADCASTING:
▪Wireless transmission of electromagnetic signals(radio) or audio-
visual signals (Television) that are readily accessible to a wide
population via standard receivers.
▪“one-to-all” transmission because a single source transmits signals
to all possible destinations.
▪the act of transmitting speech, music, visual images, etc., as by
radio or television.
▪Two types of radio broadcasting: AM and FM.
AM BROADCASTING:
▪Transmission of radio signals under the Medium Frequency band.
▪Carrier frequencies are in the frequency range 535-1605. Carrier
frequencies of 540 to 1600 kHz are assigned at 10 kHz per
intervals.
▪The Kapisanan ng Broadkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) in its Technical
Standards and Operating Requirements for Medium Frequency
Broadcast Stations in the Philippines defined the Medium
Frequency band as the band of frequencies from 526.5 to 1705 kHz.
▪KBP are the one who assigns broadcasting guidelines and
standards.
AM BROADCASTING:
▪AM band of frequencies occupied by the carrier and two (2)
sidebands of an AM Broadcast signal with the carrier frequency at
the center.
▪Channels shall be designated by the assigned carrier frequencies
starting from 531 kHz in increments of 9 kHz.
Efforts in Regulating the Medium of
Communication Turned into Standards
▪These standards address different concerns in mass-
communication such as the utilization of the broadcast spectrum,
minimizing mutual interferences among a growing number of
stations, and the prevention of harmful signal interferences.
Table 1. shows the equivalent of Philippine standard
from the international standard
AM PARAMETERS:
▪Frequency Band – range of frequencies in the radio frequency
(RF) spectrum, which is divided among ranges from very low
frequencies (VLH) to extremely high frequencies (EHF). Each
band has a defined upper and lower frequency limit. AM is under
medium frequency band.
▪Channel - a band of frequencies used in radio and television
transmission, especially as used by a particular station.
▪Bandwidth - is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
occupied by a signal. It is also the frequency range over which a
receiver or other electronic circuit operates.
AM PARAMETERS:
▪Channel spacing - The amount of bandwidth allotted to each
channel in a communications system that transmits multiple
frequencies
▪Frequency Stability
The Frequency Stability of a Transmitter is a measure of how
close the actual frequency transmitted is to the wanted.
Frequency stability represents the variation of output frequency
of a crystal oscillator due to external conditions like temperature
variation, voltage variation, output load variation, and frequency
aging.
AM PARAMETERS:
▪Baseband - original frequency range of a transmission signal
before it is converted, or modulated, to a different frequency range.
▪Modulation - is a process of transforming information from its
original form to a form that is more suitable for transmission.
There are 3 types of modulation: Phase , amplitude, and frequency
modulation.
AM PARAMETERS:
▪Type of emission has 5 symbols :
1st symbol type of modulation of the main carrier.
2nd symbol nature of signal modulating the main carrier.
3rd symbol types of information to be transmitted.
4th symbol is an optional letter indicating the practical details of
the transmitted information.
5th symbol is an optional letter indicating details about any
multiplexing, if used.
AM PARAMETERS:
(Refer to table 1)
▪In the table the type of emission that is used is A3E which A stands
for double sideband amplitude modulation, 3 for one channel
containing analog information, E for Telephony.

AM PARAMETERS:
▪Guard Band - a narrow frequency band between adjacent
frequency channels. Is created to prevent interferences.
▪Antenna polarization - is the polarization of the radiated fields
produced by an antenna, evaluated in the far field.
▪Superheterodyne - operates by taking the signal on the incoming
frequency, mixing it with a variable frequency locally generated
signal to convert it down to a frequency where it can pass through a
high-performance fixed frequency filter before being demodulated
to extract the required modulation or signal.
AM PARAMETERS:
▪Intermediate Frequency - is a frequency to which a carrier
frequency is shifted as an intermediate step in transmission. This is
created by mixing the carrier signal with a local oscillator signal in
a process called heterodyning. The main reason of intermediate
frequency is to improve frequency selectivity.
Table 2 shows the maximum power allocation in Metro
cities and other areas given in low band, mid-band, and
high band.
Carrier shift 5%
Carrier hum and Extraneous Noise level 45dB below 400 HZ tone

in order to achieve goals of an organization. These activities can include rules, roles, and
responsibilities.
