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

1 ~40 Gu Lc nbe rg invents the printing press
1844 Morse pate nts the telegraph
1866 First successful use of a transatlantic teleg raph cable
1876 Bell inve nts and patents the telep hone
1879 Eastma n develops photographic film
18R7 Hertz discovers radio waves
1895 Marconi demonstrates wireless telegraphy
190 1 Marco ni makes first tra nsa tlantic radio transmission
1902 The Fleming valve is invented
1906 De rarest inve nts the triode vacuum tube and the first
radiotelephone broadcas t
1923 Television is invented
1931 Radio astronomy is disco vered
1940 45 Radar is perfected a nd helps win World War II
1948 The transistor is invented
1850s Cable tel evision first appears
1954 Color te levision hroadcast ng b gins
1959 The integrated circuit is inven ted
1962 Fir st commumca tion satellite
1969 The internet is inven tecl
19758 I Personal compu te rs come into use
1981 85 Mode ms in PCs become widespread
1983 Fi rst cellular telephone system becomes operatIO nal
1989 The GPS is llsed for commercial and personal applications
1989 The World Wide Web is invented
1998 The 5 rst co m mercial usc of digitalhigh deftni ti on television
takes place

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
mixtures including whi te a re reproduce by the co lor picture tuhe

The color mformation for broadcast in color is conta in in the 358MfIz
chrominance signal In order UJ form one video signal that mod ulates the picture
carrier wave for transmission to the receiver the co lor signal is combined with
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CHAPTER 2
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 color mformation for broadcast in color is conta in in the 358MfIz
chrominance signal In order UJ form one video signal that mod ulates the picture
carrier wave for transmission to the receiver the co lor signal is combined with
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

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

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 color mformation for broadcast in color is conta in in the 358MfIz
chrominance signal In order UJ form one video signal that mod ulates the picture
carrier wave for transmission to the receiver the co lor signal is combined with
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
mixtures including whi te a re reproduce by the co lor picture tuhe
For video a nd a udio s igna l t ransmissio n the band offreque ncies used is ca lled a
te lev ision channeL A GMHz wide channel with a specific ca rrie r freq ue ncy is
assigned to each te levision s ta tion by the Federal Com munications Com mission
