Radio ReceptionStation 1 Station 2
Ionosphere

 AM Characteristics
 Station mixing
AM signals bend around such things
as buildings or mountains and bounce
off the ionosphere. Therefore, they can
reach longer distances than FM signals. Because of this, two stations
may sometimes be picked up on the
same frequency at the same time.

J18Y4142 ADStrong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are
extremely strong, so the result is noise
and sound breakup at the radio
receiver.
Station 1
88.1 MHzJ18Y4143 AD
Station 2
88.3 MHz
 Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be
some noise from this disturbance.
