What is the frequency range of AM radio?

Answer 1

They are methods of transmitting signals (speech, music,data etc) on carrier frequencies. FM is Frequency Modulation where the carrier frequency is modified by the signal frequency. AM is Amplitude Modulation where the carrier amplitude (size) is modified by the signal

Answer 2

Japan: 76 - 90 MHz

Australia: 88 - 108 MHz

UK: 88 - 108 MHz

US: 94 - 108 MHz

I thought the US started at 88, but I found that information elsewhere.

I have lived in the US for most of my life, and can categorically affirm that the range is 88-108 MHz

Answer 3

In the USA . . .

-- Commercial AM broadcast occupies the band from 530 KHz to 1.7 MHz,

with carrier frequencies licensed at the 10 KHz marks. 530, 540, 550, etc.

-- Commercial FM broadcast occupies the band from 87.9 to 107.9 MHz,

with carrier frequencies licensed at the odd numbered 0.2 MHz marks.

87.9, 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, etc.

Answer 4

In the USA ...

-- Commercial AM radio stations operate with carrier frequencies spaced every 10 KHz

between 550 KHz and 1700 KHz.

-- Commercial FM radio stations operate with carrier frequencies spaced every 200 KHz

between 88.1 MHz and 107.9 MHz.

Answer 5

Any radio signal, at any frequency, can be Amplitude Modulated (AM) to carry

information.

In the US, commercial broadcast radio stations use amplitude modulation for broadcasts on carrier frequencies in the range of 550 -- 1,700 KHz.

Answer 6

Commercial AM broadcast stations in the US are assigned frequencies between 550 KHz and 1.6 MHz.

The permissible carrier frequencies are every 10 KHz, i.e. 550, 560, 570, 580 KHz etc.

Answer 7

A: This term refers to the FM band or frequency range.
