Radio Reception
I AM Characteristics
V Station mixing
AM signalsbend around such tbings as
buildings or mountains and bounce off
the ionosphere. Therefore. lhey can reach
longer distances than FM signals.
Because oflhjs. lwo stations may
somedmes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.
I FM Characteristics
An FM broadcasirange is usually about
4G-50 km (25-30miles) from the
source. Because ofextra coding needed
to break ihe sound into two channels,
siereo FM has even less range t}an
monaural (non stereo) FM.
Signals from an FM ransmitter ale
similar to beams oflightbecause they do
not bend around corners. but they do
reflect. Unlike AM signals, FM signals
cannot iravel b€yond the horizon.
Therefore. FM stations cannot be
received al the great distances possible
with AM reception.
Al'nospheric conditions can also affect
FM receplion. High humidity will cause
poor receplion. However, cloudy days
may provide beller r€ception than clear
days.

V Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, ii is possible to receive both
the direci signal and rhe reflecred signal
at the sane time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. Thisproblem may also be encountered whenjn close proximity to tbe transmittrer.
V trlutter^kip noise
Sjgnals from an FM transmitlermove in
straighl lines and become weal( in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains. and
other obstacles. Wlen a vehicle passes
lhrough such an area. lhe recepiion
conditions may change suddenly.
resulting in annoying noise.
V Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from
the lransmitter. Reception in such fringe
areas is chaJacterized by sound breatup.

Do not use r€cord sprays. antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
