The only way your radio has of separating one station out of the pile, and letting you

listen to the one single station you want to hear, is by frequency.

If two stations are on the same frequency, then your radio hears them both

when it's tuned to that frequency. If there are 100 of them, you hear all 100.

The result of that is . . . well, just listen to CB some time.

How is a radio signal transmitted and received?

A broadcasting radio station has to generate and transmit (send out) carrier signals from its transmitters. A carrier signal has to be used because it is impractical to send out sound waves of energy over the very long distances used for radio broadcasting. If, for example, a station broadcasts on a radio frequency of 455 kHz, before it is transmitted by the station's radio transmitters, that carrier signal first has to be modulated with the sounds coming from the station's studio. The modulation method used can be either amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM) or digital (DAB). DAB is short for "digital audio broadcasting". At the radio receivers used by the station's listeners, the modulated carrier signal is received through their aerials and then has to be de-modulated to release the studio sound. De-modulation can be described very simply as "removing the carrier signal to produce the sound". That sound then has to be amplified so that it can be listened-to using loudspeakers or headphones. The actual carrier frequencies used by a particular station have to be varied: 1) to suit their transmitters' locations 2) to suit the areas to be covered by that station's broadcasts and 3) to avoid causing interference with other radio stations. In every country there is a government agency which controls the particular frequencies which can be used by each station that broadcasts in that country. The fair use of all the frequencies available for broadcasting worldwide is co-ordinated and administered by part of the United Nations organisation - the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) - and its members are representatives from all countries worldwide.


On what frequency can one listen to the CHRI Radio?

CHRI Radio broadcasts in the Ottawa area of Canada on 99.1FM. This radio station is a family radio station covering local events, music, news and interviews.


A new FM radio station needs to select a carrier frequency Another FM station in the area uses a frequency of 90 MHz what carrier frequency can the new station use?

The new station should stay below 89.7 or above 90.3 MHz. Now, here's a different, real-world answer: The new station should have access to any frequency it wants, as soon as the court-battle is over. The incumbent station on 90 MHz is operating illegally, and should be given the boot. FM broadcast carrier frequencies are assigned only at 88.1 + 0.2N MHz. FM stations may be assigned to operate at 89.7, 89.9, 90.1, 90.3, 90.5, etc., but not at 90 MHz. The existing station has no license, and should be regarded accordingly !


What does 'FM' stand for on the end of a radio station?

"FM" stands for "Frequency Modulation" one of the principal ways (along with Amplitude Modulation [AM], and Phase Modulation [PM]) of impressing a signal (such as audio) on a radio carrier so that it can be transmitted over the air.


What is the frequency of this am radio wave in hertz when An AM radio station broadcasts news at 687 kHz?

For any wave, frequency x wavelength = speed (of the wave). In this case, convert the kHz to Hz, then divide the speed of light by this frequency. The speed of light should be in meters/second. The answer will be the wavelength in meters.

A radio station's channel such as 100.7 FM or 92.3 FM is actually its frequency in megahertz where Calculate the broadcast wavelength of the radio station 104.9 FM?

Wavelength = Speed of light/frequency Wavelength= 300'000'000/104'900'000 (FM 104.9 is frequency modulation 104.9 MHz) Wavelength=2.86 meters
