  • Signal Issue 35
    Signal Issue 35 Tricks of the Trade Dave Porter G4OYX and Alan Beech G1BXG We continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the start of offshore commercial radio in the UK and are now in June 1965. By this time, the number of stations on the air was increasing steadily, taking advantage of the (lack of) laws at the time with regard to operations in International Waters. The first two stations, Caroline and Atlanta, had used 10 kW AM transmitters by Continental Electronics employing their patented version of screen grid modulation but, just prior to Christmas 1964, the US-inspired and -built station of Radio London on the former US minesweeper USS Density renamed M/V Galaxy was on the air with test transmissions on 266 m, 1124 kHz, running, at first, 17 kW. This 50 kW transmitter was an RCA BTA-50H and was the first of many in the offshore fleet to employ the ‘Ampliphase’ approach. From ‘outphasing’ to ‘Ampliphase’ Amplitude from phase The theory of what became known as ‘Ampliphase’ was The principle of ‘Ampliphase’ is to take a single frequency proposed and developed in France by Henry Chireix in drive source, split it into two feeds, phase modulate each 1935 who called the technique ‘outphasing’. feed, amplify as required and add the two signals in a combining network. Amplitude modulation is achieved by ‘Outphasing’ was not taken up initially by RCA but by the degree of addition or subtraction due to the phase McClatchy Broadcasting in the late 1940s, first at KFBK, difference between the two signals.

  • 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.

  • Hans Knot International Radio Report April 2016 Welcome to Another
    Hans Knot International Radio Report April 2016 Welcome to another edition of the International Radio Report. Thanks all for your e mails, memories, photos, questions and more. Part of the report is what was left after the March edition was totally filled and so let’s go with this edition in which first there’s space for a story I wrote last months after again doing some research: ‘Ronan O’Rahilly, Georgie Fame and the Blue Fames. Where it really went wrong!’ On this subject I’ve written before but let’s go back in time and also add some new facts to it: ‘Was Ronan O’Rahilly the manager of Georgie Fame?’ I can tell you there was a problem with an important instrument. When in April 1964 Granada Television came with an edition of the ‘World in action’ series, which was a production from Michael Hodges, they informed the television public about a new form of Piracy, the watery pirates. Two radio ships bringing music and entertainment under the names of Radio Caroline and Radio Atlanta. Radio Caroline was the first 20th century Pirate off the British coast with programs, at that stage, for 12 hours a day. Interviews with the Caroline people were made in the offices of Queen Magazine in the city of London and included – among others – Jocelyn Stevens and the then 23-year old Irish Ronan O’Rahilly. During this documentary it became known, which we would also read in several newspapers in the then following weeks, that Ronan O’Rahilly had started his radiostation Caroline as he couldn’t get his artists played on stations like Radio Luxembourg.

  • 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.

  • WBU Radio Guide
    FOREWORD The purpose of the Digital Radio Guide is to help engineers and managers in the radio broadcast community understand options for digital radio systems available in 2019. The guide covers systems used for transmission in different media, but not for programme production. The in-depth technical descriptions of the systems are available from the proponent organisations and their websites listed in the appendices. The choice of the appropriate system is the responsibility of the broadcaster or national regulator who should take into account the various technical, commercial and legal factors relevant to the application. We are grateful to the many organisations and consortia whose systems and services are featured in the guide for providing the updates for this latest edition. In particular, our thanks go to the following organisations: European Broadcasting Union (EBU) North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) HD Radio WorldDAB Forum Amal Punchihewa Former Vice-Chairman World Broadcasting Unions - Technical Committee April 2019 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................................... 5 WHAT IS DIGITAL RADIO? ....................................................................................................................... 7 WHY DIGITAL RADIO? .............................................................................................................................. 9 TERRESTRIAL
