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.
