You may have difficulty doing that with both AM and FM because the antenna wavelenth is considerably out of range .Since you asked how to ELECTRONICALY cut down the signal...There are often trimmers on the tuning capacitor on AM and FM recievers that you could tweek but be careful because there are also frequency adjustments there as well . If you have an EXTERNAL antenna connections for AM & FM you can put attenuators on there , coaxial ones are available at R.S. but you can make one from resistors too. answer It may be a surprise to you but a simple voltage divider will reduce to any signal irregardless of signal length

What does a crystal receiver do?

A crystal receiver will pick up radio signals within a close range. One must use headphones to hear the signal, as it is generally very weak. A crystal receiver does this without the use of electricity or batteries.


What is fidelity in an AM receiver?

fidelity of a receiver is its ability to produce accurate output over a range of frequencies.


What is Broadcasting signal frequency range?

The broadcasting frequency range is from 300kHZ to 3400kHZ.


What is an Audio Generator?

Anything that creates electrical sound (aka audio.) A piano is a sound generator but NOT an audio generator. An organ or keyboard is an audio generator and not a sound generator. These can also be thought of as signal oscillators in the 20-20k hz range which usually produce a constant signal or tone over a period of time. Sound is anything you can hear, and audio is anything you need an amplifier to hear.


What determines the range and distance of FM radio signals?

quite a few things come into play. FM stations are basically LOS (line of sight) frequencies, this means that the radio waves will not propagate off the ionosphere. The frequency wavelength is too small to be reflected back to earth so they punch through out into space. The curvature of the earth plays a big factor in how far you can get a FM signal. If the transmitting station is lower in altitude than where the receiver is then the signal will go further. At times due to atmospheric changes you can get a AM radio signal to bounce so you might pick up a signal from Boston up in Alaska but that is not normal.

How do you generate the radiation pattern of Very high frequency Omni Range?

The VOR works by allowing an aircraft receiver to compare a reference timing signal with a directionally phased difference signal. Originally, the difference signal was generated with a rotating antenna. Today, it is generated electronically, and there are no moving parts.


How does the near and far effect influence TDMA systems?

The near-far problem is a condition in which a receiver captures a strong signal and thereby makes it impossible for the receiver to detect a weaker signal. There is a long-standing issue that the dynamic range of one or more stages of a receiver can limit that receiver's ability to detect a weak signal in the presence of strong signal. The near-far problem usually refers to a specific case of this in which ADC resolution limits the range of signals a receiver can detect in a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) system such as CDMA. The receiver's AGCmust reduce its gain to prevent ADC saturation, which causes the weaker signal to fall into the noise of the ADC. This is different from a condition of one signal interfering with another because if the ADC had sufficient resolution, it would be possible to recover both signals. By contrast,TDMA systems are less vulnerable.

Can a Wireless G device benefit from a Wireless N router's increased range?

It will not benefit from its increased throughput capability but it will benefit from the signal enhancement as it is the transmittor so lnog as the receiver is in range.


What frequency range does the unites states use for FM broadcasting?

It depends on from which country the signal is broadcasting . In general it is the range of kilo to mega Hz. usually, throughout the world 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz is used . A2 The range of any RF signal is dependant on the power output, the height and efficiency of the aerial. So there is no information to give you an answer. The difference between FM and AM, is that FM has the 'capture effect'. This is where the strongest signal wins, at the receiver. AM signals on the same frequency, will compete and beat together, so you will hear both stations at the receiver. FM signals at the receiver will detect the strongest signal and supress a weaker signal on the same frequency, so you only hear the stronger signal. If you are tuning into a weak FM signal, the background hiss will increase with range until you cannot hear the signal over the noise. FM is more desirable for quality signals containing music, at close range. AM suffers more from other stations but does not get noisey with range, so weak communications can be heard at a greater range. This is desirable for communications.


What is the price range for a Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter?

What is a sony srs rf90rk used for?

Sony srs rf90rk is used as a system receiver and transmitter with some three dimension channel in the 900MHz range that are useful in ensuring optimum signal reception.


Is rg6 coax cable the best to use for satellite tv in home?

For Dish Network, we use RG6 coax cable to allow a higher frequency range for the satellite signal from the dish to your receiver. Any coax cable not rated at RG6 could affect the signal.


What is meant by lock range in phase locked loop circuits?

If we can state it in simple terms, let's do that. A phase locked loop (PLL) will lock on a signal and "hold" it if it can. The local oscillator, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), will be "tuned" to the signal and will "stay with it" to "optimize reception" of the signal. It will lock on that signal and change with it slightly as it changes. That's the value of a PLL: it can stay with a signal even if the frequency of the signal shifts slightly. But can the PLL "see" the signal? And what else might it see? A PLL is generally set up to look for a signal in a given range of frequencies. If you have a PLL tuner in your FM radio receiver (and who doesn't anymore?), when you tune up, say, 101.1 MHz on your dial, do you want the receiver looking for a signal on 101.1 MHz or right around there, or will you settle for a 101.3 MHz signal? See the problem? You want 101.1 MHz, and you don't want the darn machine to "slide" over to 101.3 MHz if there isn't a 101.1 MHz signal out there. Or, if it's a weak signal, you don't want to be dragged "off station" by your PLL. You just want your PLL to look where you tell it to look. Where do you tell it to look? In what is called a capture range. The capture range is the range of frequencies over which the PLL will grab and lock a signal.Apologies for taking so long to get to the point. Links? You got 'em. Look below.
