  • Low Power FM Radio Equipment Guide
    Low Power FM Radio Equipment Guide Before you put your Low Power FM (LPFM) station on the air, you will have to make a lot of decisions related to equipment. This document is intended to help you figure out what components you need for your station, and what features to look for in those components. Below is a list of equipment with explanations of each device's function in a radio station. Most are essential components, but a few are optional and are noted as such. The list is broken into two main categories. The studio category contains equipment that you may want in studios where on-air content is being produced (either live or in advance). The transmission category contains equipment that takes the audio signals produced in the studio and sends them out over the airwaves. The final section, “Notes,” has further information about transmission power, used equipment, time-sharing stations, and how to get additional help setting up your studio. The Appendix to this document has suggested equipment setups for different price ranges and a list of sources for the equipment you will need. STUDIO EQUIPMENT Studio Types - Many radio stations have only one studio. For some stations, however, it is worth having a second studio for producing shows in advance or recording musical acts. With a dedicated production studio, one person can prepare material to be used in future broadcasts while other material is being broadcast from the on-air studio. The production studio can be simpler than the on-air studio. It may be as simple as a computer with audio editing software and headphones.

  • Chapter 1 Background of the Project
    No. BASIC DESIGN STUDY REPORT ON THE PROJECT FOR EXPANSION OF RADIO BROADCASTING COVERAGE IN THE REMOTE AREA IN THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA MARCH, 2006 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY GM JR 06-027 PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a basic design study on the Project for Expansion of Radio Broadcasting Coverage in the Remote Area and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Indonesia a study team from November 27 to December 23, 2005. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Indonesia, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Indonesia in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia for their close cooperation extended to the teams. March 2006 Seiji Kojima Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency March, 2006 Letter of Transmittal We are pleased to submit to you the basic design study report on the Project for Expansion of Radio Broadcasting Coverage in the Remote Area in the Republic of Indonesia. This study was conducted by NHK Integrated Technology Inc., under a contract to JICA, during the period from November, 2005 to March, 2006.
