equipme nt that is very useful for broadcasting event involving a coverage area of

less than 10 miles and on the other hands it is portable and this will make the

process of assembling the equipment becoming much faster The frequency being

used is in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) range 47725 MHz based on the

crystal that is used and at frequency which would not interfere the LO mme rcia l

broadcasting frequency through negotiation with the Malaysia Radio a nd

Television (RTM) For the usage in UNlMAS this system may be used for live

telecast (wireless) during the Convocation event to the Lecture J-fall 1 (DKJ) so

CHAPTER 1

~ LECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Jl NTRODUCON

In the technology era nowadays communications is one of the most

pervasive human activities Communications has become the most prominent

matter in life as new technologies have been deve loped such as the telephone and

the telegraph especia lly whenever dis tance communication is required for

airplane

In the twentieth ce ntury communication equipments have iorre3 00d Oul

ability to communicate Through communication technologie s i l has ease our lir(~

in many aspects especially whenever in the recent years more radlO or WIre less

a pplications have bee n developed

Due to the enha ncemen t in the se miconducto r industry sophi ticated

portable equipment lor wirelessoommunication and computing can be deve loped

12 TIU IMPORTANCE OF COMMU NICATIONS

Communication is the basic process of information exchange something

that human being does most of time Communication lead to the understanding

of the second party in order to receive the message which can be shown through

signal or body language fa ci a I exp ression Although the bulk of human

communication today is still oral a huge volume of information is exchanged by

means of the written word

As we all know the main barriers to communication betwee n human are

language and distance When human of differe nt races tribes or nations come

togeth er a problem regarding the language will arise and can only be overcome

people learn the languages of others and can se rve as inte rpreter

Once upon a time ago the co mmunication between two parties some ti mes

we rp using d rllm ~ or smoke signals In addition a signal fire lJ lowi ng a hom Or

waving a flag a part oflo ng dis tance communication

In the late nineteenth century whenever the e lectricity was discovered

man y applica tions were explored The telegraph and the telephone were inve nted

in 1844 and 1876 respectively Radio was invented in 1887 The sequence of the

electronic and human telecommunication milestone is as below

After all the new-era communication eq uipments have play it

major Iole in order W increase peoples ability w share mformation_ For

instance e-mail is one of the elements that co uld allow individuals with

PCs to communicate with others over networks at anywhere_

Through internet any information that is required co uld be

obta ined that is blought w the user via the co mmunication network s All

information a re at our fingertips and this change the buying habits a nd

methods a s we ll a s the way to get Information_

We won t know how OUf live will be if we don t have a ny knowledge

a nd information from around the world through electro nic

com munica tion It seems that this kind of communication is plaYI ng Its

major role in wdays life

All electronic co mmunica tion systems have the basic form as shown above

that con sist of a transmitter a co mmunica tion channe l or mecilum and a

receiver The input Information is mostly from human and this input is a lso

called as inte llige nce si gnal The signal is be ing inputted to the transmitter

which the n transmit the message over the communication channel The receiver

will pick up the message and it will be relayed to another human Noise is an

ele ment tha t is applied to any interference that degrades the tran smitted

information

13 1 Tr ansm itter

A transmitter is designed to convert the information into a signal h

transmission over the communication medium and it might be a microphone up

to a microwave radio tran smitte r

132 Communi ca tion Chann el

A medium for the electronic signal being sent from one place to anothe r It

may be as SI mple as a paIr of wires t hat carry a voice signal from a microphone

to a headset The co mmunication medium may also be a fiber optic cable

In additio n the medium may be wireless or radio Radio makes use of

e lectromagne tic spectrum where signa ls a re communica ted from point to point by

conver ting them into electric and magnetic fields that propaga te readily ove r long

dis ta nces

Although the medium suports the transmission olinformation it al so attenuates

It At the rece ive r the s ignal appear much lower in a mpli tude due to the

degradation of s igna l Considerable a mplification of the sign al both a t the

transmitter and the rece iver is required for sucressful communication

TELEVISION TRANSMTSSION

21 TELEVISION BROADCASTING

Broadcast means send out in all direction s The receiving antenna will pick

up the electromagnetic radio waves radia te by the transmi tting antenna as

shown in Fig 21 The te le vision transmitter has two fun ctions visual and aural

(audio) transmission From the radiating antenna both the FM sound signa l and

the AM picture signal are em i tted

In visual transmissio n the ca mera tube converts the li ght image to a

video signal The cathode ray tube (CRT) with a photoelectric image plate a nd an

electron gun enclosed in a vacuum glass envelope is actua ll y the came ra tube

The vidicon is a common type of camera Basically the camera tube ta kes an

optica l im age of the scene on its photoelectric image plate which is scanned in

hori zontal lines by the electron beam The scanning goes from left to right a nd

top to bottom as viewed by the camera The entire pictu re frame comprising a

total of 525 scan ning lines takes 1130 s to scan Hence a sequence of e lectrica l

va riatio ns is the o utp ut of the ca me ra tube which corresponds to the picture

informatio n (v ideo signal)

The video signal is a mplifi ed and synch roniSlOg pulses are added

AmpliLLlde modulation of the picture carrier results in AM picture s ignal

In co lor televis ion the system use a color camera and a color pictUle tu bp

The video signa ls for the red blue and green inform ation are provided by the

color camera Similarly t he image in green red and blue with all their color

the luminance signaL C signal or the chroma signal is another name for the

chrominance signal

24 T H E FM SOUND

Associated sou nd or the sound carrier signal for the picture also included

in the 6 MHz chan nel The audio frequencies which are in the range of 50 to

15000 Hz modulating the sound carrier Th is audio frequency range is the same

8 that for stalio ns in the commercial FM broadca st band of 88 to 108 l111z In

the TV sound sig nal the maximum freq uency swing of the carfle J 25

kilohertz (kHz) for 100 percent modula tion This swing is less than the plusmn75 kH z

for 100 perce nt modulation in the commercial FM broadcast ba nd The FM

so und system has all the advantages compared with AM including less noise and

in te rference

AM is better for the picture signal because the ghosts resulting from

multipa th reception are less obvious By using the FM system the ghosts will

flu lter compared to AM

~ LECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Jl NTRODUCON

In the technology era nowadays communications is one of the most

pervasive human activities Communications has become the most prominent

matter in life as new technologies have been deve loped such as the telephone and

the telegraph especia lly whenever dis tance communication is required for

airplane

In the twentieth ce ntury communication equipments have iorre3 00d Oul

ability to communicate Through communication technologie s i l has ease our lir(~

in many aspects especially whenever in the recent years more radlO or WIre less

a pplications have bee n developed

Due to the enha ncemen t in the se miconducto r industry sophi ticated

portable equipment lor wirelessoommunication and computing can be deve loped

12 TIU IMPORTANCE OF COMMU NICATIONS

Communication is the basic process of information exchange something

that human being does most of time Communication lead to the understanding

of the second party in order to receive the message which can be shown through

signal or body language fa ci a I exp ression Although the bulk of human

communication today is still oral a huge volume of information is exchanged by

means of the written word

As we all know the main barriers to communication betwee n human are

language and distance When human of differe nt races tribes or nations come

togeth er a problem regarding the language will arise and can only be overcome

people learn the languages of others and can se rve as inte rpreter

Once upon a time ago the co mmunication between two parties some ti mes

we rp using d rllm ~ or smoke signals In addition a signal fire lJ lowi ng a hom Or

waving a flag a part oflo ng dis tance communication

In the late nineteenth century whenever the e lectricity was discovered

man y applica tions were explored The telegraph and the telephone were inve nted

in 1844 and 1876 respectively Radio was invented in 1887 The sequence of the

electronic and human telecommunication milestone is as below

After all the new-era communication eq uipments have play it

major Iole in order W increase peoples ability w share mformation_ For

instance e-mail is one of the elements that co uld allow individuals with

PCs to communicate with others over networks at anywhere_

Through internet any information that is required co uld be

obta ined that is blought w the user via the co mmunication network s All

information a re at our fingertips and this change the buying habits a nd

methods a s we ll a s the way to get Information_

We won t know how OUf live will be if we don t have a ny knowledge

a nd information from around the world through electro nic

com munica tion It seems that this kind of communication is plaYI ng Its

major role in wdays life

All electronic co mmunica tion systems have the basic form as shown above

that con sist of a transmitter a co mmunica tion channe l or mecilum and a

receiver The input Information is mostly from human and this input is a lso

called as inte llige nce si gnal The signal is be ing inputted to the transmitter

which the n transmit the message over the communication channel The receiver

will pick up the message and it will be relayed to another human Noise is an

ele ment tha t is applied to any interference that degrades the tran smitted

information

13 1 Tr ansm itter

A transmitter is designed to convert the information into a signal h

transmission over the communication medium and it might be a microphone up

to a microwave radio tran smitte r

132 Communi ca tion Chann el

A medium for the electronic signal being sent from one place to anothe r It

may be as SI mple as a paIr of wires t hat carry a voice signal from a microphone

to a headset The co mmunication medium may also be a fiber optic cable

In additio n the medium may be wireless or radio Radio makes use of

e lectromagne tic spectrum where signa ls a re communica ted from point to point by

conver ting them into electric and magnetic fields that propaga te readily ove r long

dis ta nces

Although the medium suports the transmission olinformation it al so attenuates

It At the rece ive r the s ignal appear much lower in a mpli tude due to the

degradation of s igna l Considerable a mplification of the sign al both a t the

transmitter and the rece iver is required for sucressful communication

15000 Hz modulating the sound carrier Th is audio frequency range is the same

8 that for stalio ns in the commercial FM broadca st band of 88 to 108 l111z In

the TV sound sig nal the maximum freq uency swing of the carfle J 25

kilohertz (kHz) for 100 percent modula tion This swing is less than the plusmn75 kH z

for 100 perce nt modulation in the commercial FM broadcast ba nd The FM

so und system has all the advantages compared with AM including less noise and

in te rference

AM is better for the picture signal because the ghosts resulting from

multipa th reception are less obvious By using the FM system the ghosts will

flu lter compared to AM

CHAPTER 1

~ LECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Jl NTRODUCON

In the technology era nowadays communications is one of the most

pervasive human activities Communications has become the most prominent

matter in life as new technologies have been deve loped such as the telephone and

the telegraph especia lly whenever dis tance communication is required for

airplane

In the twentieth ce ntury communication equipments have iorre3 00d Oul

ability to communicate Through communication technologie s i l has ease our lir(~

in many aspects especially whenever in the recent years more radlO or WIre less

a pplications have bee n developed

Due to the enha ncemen t in the se miconducto r industry sophi ticated

portable equipment lor wirelessoommunication and computing can be deve loped

12 TIU IMPORTANCE OF COMMU NICATIONS

Communication is the basic process of information exchange something

that human being does most of time Communication lead to the understanding

of the second party in order to receive the message which can be shown through

signal or body language fa ci a I exp ression Although the bulk of human

communication today is still oral a huge volume of information is exchanged by

means of the written word

As we all know the main barriers to communication betwee n human are

language and distance When human of differe nt races tribes or nations come

togeth er a problem regarding the language will arise and can only be overcome

people learn the languages of others and can se rve as inte rpreter

Once upon a time ago the co mmunication between two parties some ti mes

we rp using d rllm ~ or smoke signals In addition a signal fire lJ lowi ng a hom Or

waving a flag a part oflo ng dis tance communication

In the late nineteenth century whenever the e lectricity was discovered

man y applica tions were explored The telegraph and the telephone were inve nted

in 1844 and 1876 respectively Radio was invented in 1887 The sequence of the

electronic and human telecommunication milestone is as below

After all the new-era communication eq uipments have play it

major Iole in order W increase peoples ability w share mformation_ For

instance e-mail is one of the elements that co uld allow individuals with

PCs to communicate with others over networks at anywhere_

Through internet any information that is required co uld be

obta ined that is blought w the user via the co mmunication network s All

information a re at our fingertips and this change the buying habits a nd

methods a s we ll a s the way to get Information_

We won t know how OUf live will be if we don t have a ny knowledge

All electronic co mmunica tion systems have the basic form as shown above

that con sist of a transmitter a co mmunica tion channe l or mecilum and a

receiver The input Information is mostly from human and this input is a lso

called as inte llige nce si gnal The signal is be ing inputted to the transmitter

which the n transmit the message over the communication channel The receiver

will pick up the message and it will be relayed to another human Noise is an

ele ment tha t is applied to any interference that degrades the tran smitted

information

13 1 Tr ansm itter

A transmitter is designed to convert the information into a signal h

transmission over the communication medium and it might be a microphone up

to a microwave radio tran smitte r

132 Communi ca tion Chann el

A medium for the electronic signal being sent from one place to anothe r It

may be as SI mple as a paIr of wires t hat carry a voice signal from a microphone

to a headset The co mmunication medium may also be a fiber optic cable

In additio n the medium may be wireless or radio Radio makes use of

e lectromagne tic spectrum where signa ls a re communica ted from point to point by

conver ting them into electric and magnetic fields that propaga te readily ove r long

dis ta nces

Although the medium suports the transmission olinformation it al so attenuates

It At the rece ive r the s ignal appear much lower in a mpli tude due to the

degradation of s igna l Considerable a mplification of the sign al both a t the

transmitter and the rece iver is required for sucressful communication

TELEVISION TRANSMTSSION

21 TELEVISION BROADCASTING

Broadcast means send out in all direction s The receiving antenna will pick

up the electromagnetic radio waves radia te by the transmi tting antenna as

shown in Fig 21 The te le vision transmitter has two fun ctions visual and aural

(audio) transmission From the radiating antenna both the FM sound signa l and

the AM picture signal are em i tted

In visual transmissio n the ca mera tube converts the li ght image to a

video signal The cathode ray tube (CRT) with a photoelectric image plate a nd an

electron gun enclosed in a vacuum glass envelope is actua ll y the came ra tube

The vidicon is a common type of camera Basically the camera tube ta kes an

optica l im age of the scene on its photoelectric image plate which is scanned in

hori zontal lines by the electron beam The scanning goes from left to right a nd

top to bottom as viewed by the camera The entire pictu re frame comprising a

total of 525 scan ning lines takes 1130 s to scan Hence a sequence of e lectrica l

va riatio ns is the o utp ut of the ca me ra tube which corresponds to the picture

informatio n (v ideo signal)

The video signal is a mplifi ed and synch roniSlOg pulses are added

Page 6: SHORT RANGE TV TRANSMITTER (AMATEUR TV TRANSMITTER)

ABSTRACT

Amateur TV Transmitter (Short Range) is actually a kind of broadcasting

equipme nt that is very useful for broadcasting event involving a coverage area of

less than 10 miles and on the other hands it is portable and this will make the

process of assembling the equipment becoming much faster The frequency being

used is in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) range 47725 MHz based on the

crystal that is used and at frequency which would not interfere the LO mme rcia l

broadcasting frequency through negotiation with the Malaysia Radio a nd

Television (RTM) For the usage in UNlMAS this system may be used for live

telecast (wireless) during the Convocation event to the Lecture J-fall 1 (DKJ) so

this will enable other stude nts to see the event Besides fh i~ system cou ld also be

allplieci to remole control aircraft and unmanned car as the vi sua li zation agent

CHAPTER 1

~ LECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Jl NTRODUCON

In the technology era nowadays communications is one of the most

pervasive human activities Communications has become the most prominent

matter in life as new technologies have been deve loped such as the telephone and

the telegraph especia lly whenever dis tance communication is required for

airplane

In the twentieth ce ntury communication equipments have iorre3 00d Oul

ability to communicate Through communication technologie s i l has ease our lir(~

in many aspects especially whenever in the recent years more radlO or WIre less

a pplications have bee n developed

Due to the enha ncemen t in the se miconducto r industry sophi ticated

portable equipment lor wirelessoommunication and computing can be deve loped

12 TIU IMPORTANCE OF COMMU NICATIONS

Communication is the basic process of information exchange something

that human being does most of time Communication lead to the understanding

of the second party in order to receive the message which can be shown through

signal or body language fa ci a I exp ression Although the bulk of human

communication today is still oral a huge volume of information is exchanged by

means of the written word

As we all know the main barriers to communication betwee n human are

language and distance When human of differe nt races tribes or nations come

togeth er a problem regarding the language will arise and can only be overcome

people learn the languages of others and can se rve as inte rpreter

Once upon a time ago the co mmunication between two parties some ti mes

we rp using d rllm ~ or smoke signals In addition a signal fire lJ lowi ng a hom Or

waving a flag a part oflo ng dis tance communication

In the late nineteenth century whenever the e lectricity was discovered

man y applica tions were explored The telegraph and the telephone were inve nted

in 1844 and 1876 respectively Radio was invented in 1887 The sequence of the

electronic and human telecommunication milestone is as below

Communication is the basic process of information exchange something

that human being does most of time Communication lead to the understanding

of the second party in order to receive the message which can be shown through

signal or body language fa ci a I exp ression Although the bulk of human

communication today is still oral a huge volume of information is exchanged by

means of the written word

As we all know the main barriers to communication betwee n human are

language and distance When human of differe nt races tribes or nations come

togeth er a problem regarding the language will arise and can only be overcome

people learn the languages of others and can se rve as inte rpreter

In the technology era nowadays communications is one of the most

pervasive human activities Communications has become the most prominent

matter in life as new technologies have been deve loped such as the telephone and

12 TIU IMPORTANCE OF COMMU NICATIONS

Communication is the basic process of information exchange something

that human being does most of time Communication lead to the understanding

of the second party in order to receive the message which can be shown through

signal or body language fa ci a I exp ression Although the bulk of human

communication today is still oral a huge volume of information is exchanged by

means of the written word

As we all know the main barriers to communication betwee n human are

language and distance When human of differe nt races tribes or nations come

togeth er a problem regarding the language will arise and can only be overcome

people learn the languages of others and can se rve as inte rpreter

~ LECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

Jl NTRODUCON

In the technology era nowadays communications is one of the most

pervasive human activities Communications has become the most prominent

matter in life as new technologies have been deve loped such as the telephone and

the telegraph especia lly whenever dis tance communication is required for

airplane

In the twentieth ce ntury communication equipments have iorre3 00d Oul

ability to communicate Through communication technologie s i l has ease our lir(~

in many aspects especially whenever in the recent years more radlO or WIre less

a pplications have bee n developed

Due to the enha ncemen t in the se miconducto r industry sophi ticated

portable equipment lor wirelessoommunication and computing can be deve loped

12 TIU IMPORTANCE OF COMMU NICATIONS

Communication is the basic process of information exchange something

that human being does most of time Communication lead to the understanding

of the second party in order to receive the message which can be shown through

signal or body language fa ci a I exp ression Although the bulk of human

communication today is still oral a huge volume of information is exchanged by

means of the written word

As we all know the main barriers to communication betwee n human are

language and distance When human of differe nt races tribes or nations come

togeth er a problem regarding the language will arise and can only be overcome

people learn the languages of others and can se rve as inte rpreter

In visual transmissio n the ca mera tube converts the li ght image to a

video signal The cathode ray tube (CRT) with a photoelectric image plate a nd an

electron gun enclosed in a vacuum glass envelope is actua ll y the came ra tube

The vidicon is a common type of camera Basically the camera tube ta kes an

optica l im age of the scene on its photoelectric image plate which is scanned in

hori zontal lines by the electron beam The scanning goes from left to right a nd

top to bottom as viewed by the camera The entire pictu re frame comprising a

total of 525 scan ning lines takes 1130 s to scan Hence a sequence of e lectrica l
