  • Chapter 4, Current Status, Knowledge Gaps, and Research Needs Pertaining to Firefighter Radio Communication Systems
    NIOSH Firefighter Radio Communications CHAPTER IV: STRUCTURE COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES Buildings and other structures pose difficult problems for wireless (radio) communications. Whether communication is via hand-held radio or personal cellular phone, communications to, from, and within structures can degrade depending on a variety of factors. These factors include multipath effects, reflection from coated exterior glass, non-line-of-sight path loss, and signal absorption in the building construction materials, among others. The communications problems may be compounded by lack of a repeater to amplify and retransmit the signal or by poor placement of the repeater. RF propagation in structures can be so poor that there may be areas where the signal is virtually nonexistent, rendering radio communication impossible. Those who design and select firefighter communications systems cannot dictate what building materials or methods are used in structures, but they can conduct research and select the radio system designs and deployments that provide significantly improved radio communications in this extremely difficult environment.4 Communication Problems Inherent in Structures MULTIPATH Multipath fading and noise is a major cause of poor radio performance. Multipath is a phenomenon that results from the fact that a transmitted signal does not arrive at the receiver solely from a single straight line-of-sight path. Because there are obstacles in the path of a transmitted radio signal, the signal may be reflected multiple times and in multiple paths, and arrive at the receiver from various directions along various paths, with various signal strengths per path. In fact, a radio signal received by a firefighter within a building is rarely a signal that traveled directly by line of sight from the transmitter.

  • Fcc and Am Stereo: a Deregulatory Breach of Duty
    THE FCC AND AM STEREO: A DEREGULATORY BREACH OF DUTY JASON B. MEYERt The trend toward governmental deregulation of private enterprise, which began in earnest in the 1970's1 and has gathered momentum under the Reagan administration, has had a significant effect on the telecommunications industry. The Federal Communications Commis- sion (FCC) has reduced regulation of operation and maintenance log- ging2 and eliminated minimum aural transmission power require- ments.' Similarly, a major effort has been made in Congress to enact a bill deregulating broadcast programming.4 In 1984 the FCC justified eliminating or relaxing many licensing requirements on the grounds that such "actions further the Commission's goals of creating, to the maximum extent possible, an unregulated, competitive environment for t A.B. 1980, Princeton University; J.D.

  • RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St
    RADIO’S DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING IN THE 21st CENTURY BY JOHN NATHAN ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Michelle Renee Nelson Associate Professor Christian Edward Sandvig Professor Daniel Toby Schiller ii ABSTRACT The interaction of policy and technological development in the era of “convergence” is messy and fraught with contradictions. The best expression of this condition is found in the story behind the development and proliferation of digital audio broadcasting (DAB). Radio is the last of the traditional mass media to navigate the convergence phenomenon; convergence itself has an inherently disruptive effect on traditional media forms. However, in the case of radio, this disruption is mostly self-induced through the cultivation of communications policies which thwart innovation. A dramaturgical analysis of digital radio’s technological and policy development reveals that the industry’s preferred mode of navigating the convergence phenomenon is not designed to provide the medium with a realistically useful path into a 21st century convergent media environment. Instead, the diffusion of “HD Radio” is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space. HD Radio has several critical shortfalls: it causes interference and degradation to existing analog radio signals; does not have the capability to actually advance the utility of radio beyond extant quality/performance metrics; and is a wholly proprietary technology from transmission to reception.

    Access Charges: This is a fee charged by local phone companies for use of their networks. Amplitude Modulation (AM) that's the "AM" Band on your Radio: A signaling method that varies the amplitude of the carrier frequencies to send information. The carrier frequency would be like 910 (kHz) AM on your AM dial. Your radio antenna receives this signal and then decodes it and plays the song. Analog Signal: A signaling method that modifies the frequency by amplifying the strength of the signal or varying the frequency of a radio transmission to convey information. Bandwidth The amount of data passing through a connection over a given time. It is usually measured in bps (bits-per- second) or Mbps. Broadband Broadband refers to telecommunication in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. More services can be provided through broadband in the same way as more lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time. Broadcast To transmit (a radio or television program) for public or general use. In other words, send out or communicate, especially by radio or television. Cable A strong, large-diameter, heavy steel or fiber rope. The word history of cable derives from Middle English, from Old North French, from Late Latin capulum, lasso, from Latin capere, meaning to seize. Calling Party Pays A billing method in which a wireless phone caller pays only for making calls and not for receiving them. The standard American billing system requires wireless phone customers to pay for all calls made and received on a wireless phone.

Modulation techniques 5. Radio equipment – Block diagram explanation (NEC-Make ) 6. Primary and higher order Mux 7 Fading , noise and jitter 8 Space and frequency diversity 9 Microwave Tower 10 Microwave Earthing - importance and measurement 11 Power supply arrangements 12 Periodical arrangements 13 End to end alignment 14 Digital UHF equipment – functioning 15 18 GHZ microwave system used for block working 2 1. BASIC PRINCIPLE OF MICROWAVE Microwave essentially means very short wave . The microwave frequency spectrum is usually taken to extended form 1 GHZ to 30 GHZ.The main reason why we have to go in for microwave frequency for communication is that lower frequency band are congested and demand for point to point communication Continue to increase. The propagation of the microwave takes place in spacewave in view of the high gain and directivity in the form of a beam and is similar to that of light . 2. NEED TO DIGITAL MICROWAVE The modern communication is towards digital transmission to digitize the analog signals PCM techniques are used . Digital techniques are widely becoming popular for application in switching and multiplexing , thus necessecitating the use of a new transmission means on radio for the medium and high capacities both for long haul application and junction working of interexchanges, in urban areas . Thus an extremely rapid transition from analog to digital radio system at present used in Indian Rly . ADVANTAGE OF DIGITAL MICROWAVE Radio links for direct transmission of PCM signals at standard bit rates of 2,8,34 and 140 MB/ Sec.Facilities found by using digital microwave are mentioned below :- a) Radio repeaters being of re-generative type will give an error free output and there is no accumulation of noise from hop to hop.
