FM Receivers Frequency modulation is used in radio broadcast in the bandwidth range from 88 MHz til 108 MHz. This range is being marked as “FM” on the band scales of the radio receivers, and the devices that are able to receive such signals are called the FM receivers. Radio broadcast transmitters are using the amplitude modulation on LW, MW and SW bandwidths. According to international treaties, each of the transmitters has a 9 kHz wide broadcasting channel, therefore making maximum frequency of the information being transferred fNFmax=4.5 kHz, according to the characteristics of the AM signal. To put it more simple, the highest frequency of the sound that can be heard from the loudspeaker of an AM receiver is 4.5 kHz, all above it will be simply truncated in the circuitry. Considering the speech itself, this isn’t so important since the most important components are located below these 4.5 kHz (during the telephone transfer, all the components above 3.2 kHz are being cut, and nobody is complaining). Things stand different, however, for the transfer of music. Music has much more sound components, with their frequencies spreading up to 15 kHz, so truncating them above 4.5 kHz does deteriorate the transmission quality. The radio-broadcast FM transmitter has a 250 kHz wide channel on its disposal, therefore allowing for the maximum frequency of the information (acc. to the characteristics of the FM signal) to be fNFmax=15 kHz. That means that music is being fully transferred and its quality is significantly better than in the case of the AM transfer. The FM transfer has some other advantages, perhaps the most significant of them being the possibility of eliminating various disturbances that are manifesting themselves as snapping, squeaking etc. The main disadvantage, however, is not the result of the frequency modulation itself, but rather of the fact that this method is being used on high frequencies, and that high-frequency electromagnetic waves behave themself as light, spreading themselves in straight line, not reflecting from the ionosphere etc. This is why obtaining this kind of radiolink requires optical visibility between the transmission and reception antennas, which is not the case for the links obtained on frequencies which

33 FM Receiver with one Transistor and Audio Amplifier

are less than 40 MHz. In practical terms, it is possible to receive the SW signal from anywhere on Earth, whilst the range of an UHF link is limited to the horizon. Or, as Hamlet would say: “The quality or the range, that is the question!” Can we have it both, somehow? Yes we can, and it is already being done, over the satellite links, using the same equipment as for the TV signal receipt and an audio amplifier connected to the audio output of the satellite receiver. For now, in the earthly conditions, those that are interested in the worldwide news will make and use the AM receivers, and music lovers will stick to the FM’s. And what can those interested in both do? Well, they make AM-FM receivers :) The direct-type (TRF) FM receivers have never been produced, the industry started right away with the superheterodynes,In amateur life, however, the direct FM receivers do exist, having very simple electronic diagrams and being easy to manufacture. These receivers have very strong positive feedback, making the intermittent oscillations in it, and are therefore being called the super-reaction receivers.

The Simplest FM Receiver We have made this receiver on the experimental plate, and it was playing for days in our lab. Its electronic diagram is given on Pic.3.46. Regretfully we had to disassemble it, since we needed the plate for one of the devices described later in this book. This, too, is a reaction-type receiver, where the BF256 transistor, coil L and capacitors C, C* and C2 form the Hartley oscillator. Its frequency is being adjusted by means of the variable capacitor C to be equal to the frequency of the station that we wish to listen to. The LF signal is being taken from the R1 resistor, and led into the audio amplifier. * The coil L is self-supporting (doesn’t have the body), made of 5 quirks of CuL wire, its diameter being from 0.8 to 1 mm. It is spooled on some cylindrical object (pencil, pen etc., the best thing is the round part of a 9 mm drill), in one layer, quirks put tight to each other, as shown in the left, framed part of the picture. When the coil is finished, it is taken off the cylinder and stretched a little, so that the quirks do not touch each other. Its final length should be about 10 mm. The mid coil leg, which is to be connected

On Pic.3.43 you can se the electronic circuit of an extremely simple direct FM receiver. The T2 transistor together with the R1 resistor, the coil L the variable capacitor C and internal capacitances of the T1 transistor, comprises the so-called Kolpitz oscillator. The resonance frequency of this oscillator is being set by C to correspond to the one of the station that we wish to hear (meaning it has to be altered between 88 and 108 MHz). The signal, i.e. the information being used in the transmitter to perform the modulation, is extracted on the R1 resistor, and being led from it to the high-resistance headphones, over the coupling capacitor C1.

The Simplest FM Receiver with Audio Amplifier The radio-broadcast FM transmitters operate with output power that is much smaller than that of the AM transmitters. That is why the LF signal coming from the device on Pic.3.43 is rather small, urging the use of very sensitive headphones. They are much more expensive than the “ordinary” ones, making it better to use the cheap headphones in connection with audio amplifier. One such solution where TDA7050 IC is used is given on the Pic.3.44. The R3 resistor and capacitors C5 and C6 are to be added only if the operation of the device is unstable. There optimum values are to be found experimentally, starting with those shown in the picture.

* The capacitance of the variable capacitor should be able to change from a couple of pF (Cmin) to app. 20 pF. During the testing off this device, we were using the capacitor from Pic.3.8. The legs marked as FO and G were used, the G leg being connected to the ground. When all the trimmers from the circuit on the Pic.3.8 are set to minimum capacitance, the capacitance between the FO and G legs should be adjustable between 7 and 27 pF. * The coil L has 4 quirks of lacquer-isolated copper wire (CuL), bended to have a 4 mm internal diameter. The practical realization of this coil is explained in text connected with Pic.4.9. During the setup of the bandwidth, the inductance of the coil can be altered by changing the distance between the quirks. If the coil is stretched the inductance decreases, and vice versa. If this cannot give the desired results, new coil must be made. * The telescopic antenna taken from a disused device can be used. If you can’t find one, you obtain very good results with a piece of isolated copper wire, about 60 cm long (the optimum length to be found experimentally).

For loudspeaker reproduction any of the previously described amplifiers can be used, e.g. that from Pic.3.21 (which we have been using, very successfully), or one of the devices described in P.E.4 and P.E.5. Since in these amplifiers a battery with voltage bigger than 3 V is used, using of R3 and C5 is obligatory. The R3 is counted from the formula where UBAT is battery voltage, and 0.235 mA is the current through R1, that supplies T1 and T2. E.g. if UBAT=9 V, it is then and the nearest existing resistor is used. Capacitors C5 and C6 comprise, together with R3, a pass-filter for very low frequencies, which is used to separate the HF and LF parts of the receiver. The battery itself acts as a short-circuit for the AC currents. But when it ages its resistance increases and there is no more short-circuit. That is why C3 and C4 are added, to accomplish it.

40 the oscillator, accomplish the reception of AM stations from all the bandwidths from 70 kHz till 200 MHz.

Superheterodyne FM Receivers The FM receivers being described in chapter 3.15 are the amateur solutions. These are extremely simple devices, that cannot perform the noiseless tuning, automatic oscillator frequency regulation and other features that ensure very high quality of the reproduction, being expected from an UHF FM receiver. The true solution is the superheterodyne FM receiver, whose block-diagram is given on Pic.4.6.Station signals are taken from the dipole antenna and led through the appropriate cable into the input circuit (UK). Inside it, the signal selection is performed, of station whose frequency is fS, this signal is then amplified in the HF amplifier and led into the mixer. As in the case of earlier described AM receiver, the inter-frequency signal is obtained at the mixer output, whose carrier frequency is fm=10.7 MHz (this is the standard value, used in all radio-broadcast FM receivers). The IF signal is being amplified in the IF amplifier and led on the amplitude limiter (Ogr.). In this stage the signal whose amplitude exceeds certain level is being cut off, accomplishing with this the elimination of the parasite amplitude modulation, which is performed by various noise sources during the transmission (atmospheric charges, various electrical devices etc.), which significantly improves the signal quality. The signal then goes to the FM signal detector, where the information being modulated in the transmitter is extrapolated from the signal, followed by the LF part of the receiver. With AFC the circuit that performs the automatic frequency regulation of the local oscillator is labelled

37 to the left end of the C3 capacitor, is made by taking off couple of millimetres of the lacquer from the wire, approximately in the middle of the coil. This place is then tinned and a piece of thin wire is soldered to it. The other end of this wire is soldered onto the PCB, on its place, to be connected to the left end of C2. * For the variable capacitor C the one from the Pic.3.8 (legs FO and G, G goes to Gnd). If you are using some other capacitor, that has bigger capacitance, and you cannot achieve the reception of the full FM bandwidth (88 til 108 MHz), try changing the value of the C*. Its capacitance is to be determined experimentally, usually being about a dozen pF.

* HFC is the high-frequency choke. Together with C2, it makes a filter that prevents the HF current to flow through the R1, simultaneously allowing for DC and LF current to go through. The muffler is, in fact, a coil that has 16 quirks of 0.6 mm CuL wire, spooled on a round part of a 3 mm drill. * This receiver works well even without the external antenna. It can, of course, be connected to it, as shown in dashed line. Instead of antenna, a 50 mm piece of wire can also be used.

FM Receiver with (just) one Transistor On the left side of the Pic.3.46 you can see the diagram of another very simple FM receiver, that has only one transistor as the active element. That is, as one can see, the HF part of the receiver from Pic.3.45, where

38

39

the reproduction is being accomplished over the high-resistance headphones. But, as previously noticed, they are pretty expensive, therefore making it better to use the “regular” headphones and a simple amplifier, as shown on the right side of the Pic.3.46.

The Fully (not exactly 100%) Superheterodyne AM Receiver No.1 Its electrical diagram is given on Pic.4.4. It is easily being noticed that this is the receiver from Pic.4.2 with inter-frequency (IF) amplifier with ZN415E added. By adding ZN415 IC multiple enhancements are performed. Thanks to its huge input resistance, the MFT’s oscillatory circuit is not choked, resulting in better selectivity. The sensitivity of the device is extremely increased since this IC has big amplification and the AAR (automatic amplification regulation) is also accomplished, making the usage of this device easier and more comfortable.* It is very important to obtain the necessary value of the DC voltage in pin 6 of the ZN415 for its proper operation. Acc. to the table on Pic.3.36 it has to be about 1.3 V, and its setting is done via the TP1 trimmer. The receiver is set to some weaker station, the sound volume is made very low with potentiometer P, and the slider of the TP1 is carefully moved until the best reception is made. If that doesn’t work, one should try changing the value of R5 resistor; this is to be done also if the supply voltage being used is other than 12 V. In case of voltage on the pin being much bigger than 1.3 V, and cannot be reduced on the trimmer, short-circuit one of the diodes.* The voltage stabilizer with 78L06 isn’t needed if the receiver is supplied from the 6 V battery.* The receiver from Pic.4.2 needs input circuit to be 100% complete. That can be an independent input circuit from Pic.4.3i, or input circuit and the HF amplifier that are described in the Appendix (Pic.5.10). If the former circuit is used, station tuning is being accomplished with 2 knobs, as explained in the previous chapter.

Fully (not exactly 100%) Superheterodyne AM Receiver No.2 All the receivers we made with NE612 IC were tested in our lab, except the one from the previous project, since we didn’t have ZN415 “with us”. We found, however, a ZN414 IC, so we tested the receiver from Pic.4.5 with it. The receiver was working great, from the amateur’s point of view. He played us for long time, until we didn’t require the board to test one of the receivers from previous projects afterwards, when we regretfully had to disassemble it. * The diagram is very similar to that on Pic.4.4, so most of the things said about that receivers stands for this one, too.* DC voltage setting on pin 1 of ZN414 is done with the trimmer TP. Its slider is put in mid position, the receiver is tuned to some weaker station close to the upper bound of the bandwidth. While making the reproduction very quiet (slider of P as low as possible), the trimmer slider is moved until reaching optimum reception. After that the trimmer is disconnected, its resistance measured and the ordinary resistor of similar value is put into circuit. * The device operates nicely with the outside antenna made of a piece of wire measuring only half metres in length.* The reception would certainly become better if an input circuit would be added, which we spoke about in the previous project.* The receivers from pics. 4.4 and 4.5 can, with appropriate coils in

44

capacitance of Cs should be reduced (to 15 pF, 10 pF etc.), or it should be short-circuited. You can also try compressing or stretching the L1 coil, etc. The setup of the oscillatory circuit is completed when with C=Cmax some station that operates on app. 88 MHz can be heard, and with C=Cmin the one that works on 108 MHz. The input circuit setup (it is connected between pins 13 and 14), is performed by tuning the receiver to some mid-range station (about 98 MHz). Then, the best possible reception is searched, by changing capacitances C13 and C12 and inductance L2.

FM Receiver with TDA7000 The face that FM receivers operate on pretty high frequencies makes their practical realization somewhat difficult, but most of the problems, as in many other amateur builds, originates from building the coils, except the self-bearing, small-inductance coils (without the coil body), which are easy to make, especially if there aren’t many of them in the device and if no special instruments are required for setting up their proper inductance value. The coils used in this FM receiver are just like this, and there are only two of them, making the practical realization much easier.The basic data about the famous Philips’ IC used in this project, TDA7000, are given in the following table. Electronic diagram of the HF part of the device (from antenna to the LF output) built with TDA7000 is shown on Pic.4.7. As one can see, it is a simple device, made with relatively small number of components. The IC contains all the stages of the superheterodine receiver: the mixer, the oscillator, the IF amplifier, the amplitude limiter, the FM detector and few others. More about them will be told in the next project which contains the description for a receiver with TDA7088T IC, which is the improved version of TDA7000.The station signal is from the (telescopic) antenna led to the input circuit that consists of L2, C13, C12 and C14. It is a parallel oscillatory circuit damped with R3 resistor, which has the reception bandwidth from 88 MHz till 108 MHz (it admits all the UHF signals on the pin 13, and weakens te signals outside the reception bandwidth). Inside the IC the signals are led into the mixer, where they are being given new carrier frequencies. The IF amplifier then follows, amplifying only one of those signals, the one whose frequency is equal to the inter-frequency, followed by the limiter, the FM detector, mute circuit and LF pre-amplifier. The output from the last stage is on the pin 2 (R2 is the collector load of the last transistor in the LF preamplifier). The oscillatory circuit of the local oscillator (L1, Cp, Cs, C and C5) is connected between pins 5 and 6.Pic.4.8-a shows the PCB of the device from Pic.4.7, while Pic.4.8-b contains the component layout (on the PCB). The complete device can be seen on Pic.4.8-c. The variable capacitor from Pic.3.8 is used as the only variable capacitor here since the input circuit is aperiodic, the legs marked with FO and G. This capacitor serves us to tune the receiver to stations. In the LF part of the receiver, the amplifier

43 made with LM386 from Pic.3.19 is utilized (the components left from the potentiometer are omitted).* L1 and L2 are the self-bearing coils (without the core). They have few quirks and are made of relatively thick wire, therefore they don’t need a body of any kind, that is why they are called “self-bearing”. Their appearance is shown on Pic.4.9, and the calculus for them is done acc. to the table from Pic.3.5. They both have 6 quirks of the CuL wire, 0.6 mm in diameter, being spooled on the flat part of the 3 mm drill. In order to be able to solder the coil onto the PCB, the couple of mm of isolation has to be removed from the wire ends with sharp knife, and they have to be tinned afterwards. There must be a small gap between the adjacent quirks. The inductance of the coil is set by its shrinking (the inductance increases) or stretching (the inductance decreases). Stretching can be nicely done by inserting the screwdriver between the quirks and then turning it along the coil. * The TDA7000 also contains the mute circuit (for noiseless tuning). It is being active when the S2 switch is open. Pocket-type receivers usually do not have S2 and R1 elements.* The part of the receiver that requires biggest care during build is the oscillatory circuit of the local oscillator, which is connected between the pins 5 and 6. When changing the capacitance of C, its resonance frequency must change from 88 MHz (C=Cmax) till 108 MHz (C=Cmin). If that cannot be accomplished (not all the stations can be heard) some experimenting is required with capacitances of Cp and Cs. For start, you should omit the Cp. If the problem persists,

Polar Pattern: a “map” of the antenna’s sensitivity, as viewed from above. Polar patterns given here should be used as reference guides - the area enclosed by the line corresponds to a geographic area around the antenna. The size of that area differs depending on antenna gain, the height of the antenna, and the geography of the terrain.

Adjacent channel / frequencies: FM frequencies occur on odd 200 kHz multiples, starting at 88.1 MHz and ending at 107.9 MHz. An adjacent channel (or frequency) is one 200 kHz away.

FM Receiver with TDA7088T IC The receiver described in the last project has two IC’s, one variable capacitor, two small coils and fairly small few other components, so it can be put into some small box, by carefully placing the components. Further miniaturization can be accomplished by using the SMD components. These are the resistors, capacitors, transistors, IC’s and other components, whose dimensions are significantly smaller than these of “classical” components. They are mounted on the copper side of the PCB, therefore it isn’t necessary to drill the holes on the board. TDA7088T is also an SMD component. Its drawing is shown on Pic.4.10.This IC is the successor of the famous TDA7000, i.e. it is an improved model of TDA7000, that allows to implement both monophonic and stereophonic FM receiver.

Omnidirectional Antennas Those listeners that find themselves in the middle of a metropolitan area, or very near to several nearby cities up to 30 or 40 miles away can benefit mostly from an omnidirectional antenna. This type of antenna will be of no help, however, if you are trying to receive a more distant, low power, or translator station. For these type of stations, a good directional antenna will be needed. Omnidirectional antennas come in two types: The “S” curve type and the “turnstile” type, shown below, along with their polar patterns. In the case of the omnidirectional antennas, the very name implies “from all directions eqaully”. The two antenna types have roughly circular polar

The electronic diagram of the HF part of the monophonic FM receiver made with TDA7088T IC is given on Pic.4.11. The IC contains all the parts of the classic superheterodyne receiver: the local oscillator, IF amplifier and FM detector, but also some other circuits that extend the possibilities and improve the features of this IC.As far as practical use is concerned, the most significant novelty is the auto-tuning circuitry. No variable capacitor is

46 necessary for tuning, as it was in all the previous projects, the BB910 varicap diode is used instead. Its capacitance is being changed by varying the DC voltage supplied to its anode over the 5k6 resistor. This is how the tuning is performed: When the user press and releases the pushbutton marked with “RUN”, the positive voltage impulse is released to the S(et) input of the SEARCH TUNING circuit. The 100 nF capacitor then starts chargingl and the voltage on the pin 16 increases. This voltage is then transferred, over the 5k6, to the anode of the BB910, causing its capacitance to decrease, which increases the frequency of the local oscillator (VCO). The VCO voltage is led into the mixer (MIXER) which also receives, over pin 11, the signals of all the other FM stations. The mixer outputs the FM signals whose frequencies are equal to the differences of the oscillator and the original station frequency. The only signal that can reach the demodulator (FM detector) is the one whose carrier frequency is equal to the inter-frequency, i.e. fm=73 kHz (selectivity is being accomplished by two active filters whose components are the capacitors connected to pins 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10). Therefore, the oscillator frequency increases until it gets the condition fO-fS=73 kHz is accomplished. When this happens, the charging of the capacitor is halted by the command that is sent into the SEARCH TUNING circuit by two detectors (diode-blocks) located in the MUTE circuit. The AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) circuit now gets its role and prevents the voltage on pin 16 to be changed, until the RUN button is pushed again (this voltage can vary from 0 V til 1.8 V during the tuning). When the RESET button is pushed, the 100 nF capacitor is discharged, the voltage on pin 16 drops down to zero, and the receiver is set to the low end of the reception bandwidth, i.e. 88 MHz.Let us get back to the mixer. On its output, the 73 kHz FM signal is obtained, and it is modulated by the programme of the first station that is found after the RUN button is pushed. This signal then passes the active filters, gets amplified in the IF amplifier (IF LIMITER) and passed onto the input of the demodulator. By connecting the demodulator exit, over the LOOP FILTER, the adder (+) and resistor, to the VCO, the so-called FFL (Frequency Feedback Loop) circuit is accomplished, reducing the deviations of the signal being received from ±75 kHz to ±15 kHz.The LF (AF) signal is led from the demodulator, over the LOOP FILTER stage, the invertor (-1) and MUTE circuit onto the pin 2. The detectors (diode-blocks) control the operation of the MUTE circuit, preventing the LF (AF) signal to reach the output pin (2) until the tuning on the station that creates the signal in the antenna that is strong enough for quality reception is obtained.

FM Antennas This article relies heavily on the four part article: “What Kind of FM Antenna is Best for You?”, by Michael J. Salvatti, appearing in Audio Magazine January through April 1978 Although that article series is excellent, and contains a lot of very detailed information, it is now becoming somewhat dated, with many manufacturers mentioned going out of business, and others changing their product lines extensively and discontinuing specific models mentioned. Those who are curious can find the original article in libraries. This article is meant for FM listeners who are dissatisfied with the performance of the folded dipole antenna that came packaged with their receiver. Almost without exception, you will need to install an outdoor antenna. This article describes your options.

Simple FM Loop Antenna Introduction Not everybody can afford elaborate aerials. Nor does everyone has the space for large aerial arrays. So how about an aerial which is small, inexpensive and, more importantly, actually performs well?For years I have been singing the praises of a simple aerial called an “FM Loop”. I often recommend this little antenna to newcomers to the hobby since they are very simple to construct, cost next to nothing and, more importantly, perform very well considering their simplicity. How well? A single 33 inch square (84cm) turn of coax typically has around 5.5 to 6dB gain on its own, which will compare very favourably to many 5 element yagis! 33 inches (84cm) is a quarter wave for the FM broadcast band but you could easily adapt the sizes to suit other bands. The loop is wideband and therefore suitable for the whole of the FM broadcast band and you can use it horizontally (coax feed point at the bottom) or vertically (coax feed point at the side).That’s right - it would often produce PI codes and PS names on my receiver’s display, but the loop was just fixed to the wall! So why aren’t more of us using these aerials? I don’t know! But I decided to put one to the test while out hilltopping one night. The resulting log was impressive to say conditions were as good as “flat” and the loop itself was only mounted around 8 feet above the ground, resting on a tree branch!The reason this article has been published is because the aforementioned log attracted a lot of interest and members wanted to know how to construct the FM loop to try out for themselves.The history bitThe FM loop is simply a single element cubical quad antenna. I have seen it described in other articles as “an excellent antenna”. Perhaps it would be simpler to compare its properties with those of the medium wave loop. It is of a slightly smaller size at band 2 frequencies but has the same figure-of-eight polar response and so receives both “front and back” (180 degrees apart) with side nulls 90 degrees in between. The side nulls are actually very deep. You can make this loop more directional by adding appropriately sized and positioned “reflector” and “director” loops as with a yagi though am only covering details of a single element loop for this article. As with all aerials, the best results will be achieved if it is mounted clear of objects, though this little gem actually still performs pretty well in confined spaces, indoors, and even leaning against a wall or stood

49 patterns. Neither type has gain (over a standard dipole), in fact, both types have a slight loss. This can be an advantage in areas where a lot of strong stations are available. If the antenna had too much gain, the received signals might overload your receiver, especially if it is older. The effect of placing the antenna higher than you could place a folded dipole will give you an effective gain, and is the main benefit from this type of antenna.

“S” Curve (folded dipole) Antenna and its Polar Pattern

Turnstile Antenna and its Polar Pattern

High Gain Directional Antennas A high gain directional antenna is needed for weak distant stations. Not only does it add gain, but its beamwidth can serve to reject other stations

50 on the same or adjacent frequencies - coming from directions outside the beamwidth. It can also reject sources of noise the same way. Noise can include reflections from nearby buildings or mountains, automobile ignition, large electrical installations or motors, or harmonics of CB and other types of communications. Directional antennas come in two basic types - Yagi and Log Periodic, and hybrids are possible. Yagi’s are recognized by elements that extend the entire width of the antenna, while log periodics are recognized by elements that alternate between sides of the antenna. Yagi’s tend to have higher gain and narrower beamwidths, while Log Periodics tend to have more uniform gain over the FM band and wider beamwidths. A generalization that applies to both types of antennas is that the larger they are (and the more elements they), the more gain and narrower beamwidth they will have. The reference above tends to favor log periodics, but I have found that large Yagi’s are an absolute necessity for really weak or distant stations (300 miles is possible but rare).

Polar Pattern for Yagi and Log Periodic Antennas Using TV Antennas Extreme caution is advised here, as FM reception from TV antennas is unpredictable at best. It requires the antenna manufacturer to extend the gain of the low VHF band (channels 2-6) from 88 to 108 MHz, which almost doubles the range. This is no small feat, and definitely involves compromising the performance for the low VHF TV channels - something that the antenna manufacturer may be unwilling to do. The majority of TV antennas simply roll off in gain through the FM band. Some have traps to eliminate FM reception, because FM can interfere with TV channel 6. These antennas may even have “break-off” elements to enable FM reception, so the user can make a choice.

MANDATORY SAFETY RULES! 1. Mount it so there is no possibility it could fall on power lines, or power lines on it.

51 2. Always use lightning arrestors. Even if you only get 2 inches of rainfall a year, it only takes one strike to destroy your equipment and/or kill you. Lightning arrestors will actually help you by bleeding off static electricity charges. 3. Strength and stability - mount it no higher than you can mount it securely! If not, the first high winds it encounters will turn it or blow it down. If you have carefully observed those safety rules - the rule for performance is: “The higher the better, within your budget and zoning limits.” In practice, though, a ten foot mast on top of your house will give satisfactory results. FM is line of sight, but there is usually enough reflection in the atmosphere to help you. Mid-afternoon is usually the worst time for distant FM, and that is the time where raw height will help the most. Every mile added to the line of sight comes at the expense of several feet of height, however. It may not be necessary to have line of sight, just line of sight to a region where the signal is more receivable. In cases where you are trying to receive a very weak station in a metropolitan environment, you may be able to see the tower. Although it is usually best to aim straight at the tower, there may be cases where it is necessary to aim the antenna to reject interfering signals. both Yagis and Log Periodics are least sensitive to signals broadside to them. This is intuitive, because the receiving elements present the smallest surface area on the sides of the antenna. It may be necessary to broadside your antenna to an interfering station, even if you are aiming way off of the desired signal. In rare cases, it is better to aim the antenna at a building or mountain to pick up the reflection of a station instead of the station itself. This happens when the building is relatively near and the station is several miles away. If you aim at the station, the reflection from the building causes multipath. If you aim at the building, you get the reflection, and the station - miles away - is rejected, eliminating the multipath.

COMMON FM RADIO RECEPTION PROBLEMS Hissing If your radio hisses it could be because it is receiving a weak signal. This happens because radio receivers need reasonably strong signals to decode the stereo component of an FM signal. A weak signal can be caused if you are too far from a transmitter as well as large buildings or hills blocking the signal path. A good quality VHF Band 2 outdoor antenna correctly positioned to pick up the best signal will usually always improve FM reception. If necessary, a VHF Band 2 amplifier can be fitted to the antenna to boost a weak signal as well. If the radio is portable with no provision for plugging in an external aerial, listeners should try adjusting the position of the radio’s own antenna to improve the reception. Alternatively, moving the receiver to somewhere else in the STAR 104.5FM: HOW TO FIX YOUR FM RADIO RECEPTION DIFFICULTIES room may help particularly as FM reception can vary a great deal over short distances. Radio reception is often better near windows or upstairs rather than downstairs.

Distorted “S” Sounds on FM Radio This phenomenon is known as “Multi-path Distortion.” Multi-path distortion is characterised by sibilance which is the distortion of ’s’ and ‘z’ sounds used in speech to ‘shhhhh’ sounds. It is caused by the transmitted

up on the ground. Because of it’s characteristics it is not easily detuned by being close to nearby objects.The construction bitThis aerial uses Bodgitt & Scarper technology. It is so simple even I knocked one up in a matter of minutes. You don’t need to rely on my design, however, you may wish to make the construction a lot more sturdy, but the purpose of this article is to show how you can achieve good results with the simplest of constructional effort. If you are going to use the loop externally for an extended length of time you would need to give it more strength. I constructed the loop quickly to use in mobile situations where I just throw the loop up into a tree or hang it on a branch. I will get round to constructing something more solid one day - perhaps! This is what I used ...* Square wooden dowelling around 2cm thick (around half an inch). Enough for four x 84cm lengths = 336cm total (or 4 x 33 inch lengths = 132 inches total). half an inch square).* At least 15 metres (50 feet) of good quality 75 ohm coax cable* Screw terminal blocks* Sticky tape - duct / gaffer variety Alternatively, you could construct the loop out of plumbers copper pipe instead of coax and some 90 degree corner joints. Make sure you insulate the copper though with thick tape though if you intend to hang the loop on tree branches. Any physical contact *may* degrade performance.The receiving element itself is a 33 inch 84cm square loop of the coax, so you will need to construct a suitably sized wooden frame, say 10mm (half an inch) less each side of the wooden dowelling around which you will wrap the coax - this is to make allowances for the coax which will then be the correct size. The coax needs to have a feed point half way along the bottom of the frame so cut coax to a 336cm (11 feet) length and wrap this around the frame ensuring the inner core and outer (braid) are connected together, each end going into separate connections on a small electrical screw terminal block. The remainder of the coax will be used for the downlead - you can vary the length accordingly. Connect the two ends of the loop to either side of the coax downlead via the terminal block, either way around, it doesn’t matter.The impedance of the FM Loop is 75 ohms. There has been much debate about this but this is stated in ARRL and RSGB information. Also, recent computer modelling has given the impedance as 75 ohms at resonance too. The loop should be positioned broadside to the transmitter for best pick-up, while the nulls can be found endways on. The loop also seems to have other quirky attributes, exhibiting a slightly unidirectional pattern at times, but these quirks can be of great use.So, in conclusion, this is aerial is very easy to

54 construct. It is very efficient and seriously outperforms my FM whip with several extra dB of signal. As I have said, this loop has a big advantage in that it works well indoors and doesn’t seem to mind too much where it is located, making it an ideal aerial for beginners or those with no room or availability for roof mounted antennas. It doesn’t look like much af a DX aerial but I have been very surprised by its performance and it has become an essential part of my mobile DX setup. Used indoors at home I have been able to eliminate Lincs FM on 102.2 and leave Galaxy from Birmingham at noise-free listenable strength - something none of my other yagis or rooftop beams have ever been able to achieve.

FM Dipole for 88-108 MHz A simple dipole antenna can be used for improved reception of FM broadcast signals. A dipole is basically a length of conductor (wire) split into two portions and signal is taken off at the split. It has a nominal 3 dB gain over an isotropic source and is directional, tending to favor signals coming broadside to the wire. The dipole is customarily an electrical half wavelength of wire at the frequency of interest, since the impedance under this condition is

55

theoretically 72 ohms resistive and is a good match to a 50-75 ohm source or load generally presented by interfacing equipment such as receivers and transmitters designed to work into this range of impedances. The length of a half wave dipole in feet is calculated as 468 divided by the frequency in MHz or in inches as 5606/F mhz. This takes “end effect” into consideration, and also the fact that the dipole elements are of finite thickness, and works out as pretty close in practice. Therefore, a dipole for 98 MHz which is band center of the FM broadcast band, works out to 4.78 feet or 57.3 inches. The dipole would then consist of two lengths of wire each 2.39 feet or 28.65 inches long, arranged as shown in the figure. Coaxial cable can be used to connect to the antenna as shown, but for best results, a balun should be used to prevent feedline radiation or pickup, which tends to distort the pattern. For 88-108 MHz this can be made by winding the coaxial feedline through a toroidal core or around a ferrite rod. The idea is to insert a series impedance to shield currents on the outside of the outer conductor, effectively decoupling it from the antenna. The current inside the line does not see this, as the inner and outer conductors are carrying equal and opposite currents and produce no external magnetic field, so no loss is experienced. The ferrite can be almost anything that yields a high impedance at the operating frequency. For 88 MHz to 108 MHz, this can be a small toroid or rod with 3 to 4 turns of the cable. See Figure. We used a ferroxcube 768T188-4C4 material specified for 1 to 20 MHz, wound with 3 turns of RG 174/U miniature coax. The measured loss was 0.3 dB including two connectors in the test setup, and the impedance across the toroid effectively in series with the outer surface of the shield was 1100 ohms shunted by -1.2 pf as read on a Boonton RX meter. This is over 10 times the feedline impedance and should be adequate. The antenna should be mounted high and in the clear for very best results (30 feet away from anything else) and oriented facing favored direction of reception.

Interference Car radios should be relatively immune to ignition and other electrical interference from the vehicle, but failure of the vehicle’s electronic suppression equipment can cause crackles and interference or:

signal traveling to the listener’s radio receiver by more than one path. This is usually caused by the signal being reflected off hills or tall buildings. The reflected signal arrives at the receiving antenna a moment later than the direct signal because it has traveled further. The reflected and direct signals then interfere with each other causing the distortion.

Car Antennas Car radio antennas are always located externally and are usually a telescopic rod, although there are a number of cars fitted with heated rear window antennas or stubby helical wound antennas. To get the best from a car radio: • The antennas should be as high as possible, preferably on the roof and

The best way to minimise multi-path distortion is to use a directional rooftop FM antenna which will only pick up signals coming directly from the

it from the reflections but not from the wanted signal. If multi-path distortion is affecting a portable FM radio, try moving it to a different position in the room.

Adjacent FM Channels Adjacent channel interference is caused by an FM station which is close in frequency to the station being listened to. It can sound like a twittering noise in the background. This problem is usually only apparent on FM stereo but if the interfering station is very close in frequency, ie. only 50 or 100 kHz away, the effect may also be heard in mono.

HOW TO FIX YOUR FM RADIO RECEPTION DIFFICULTIES the antenna and radio. Listeners should also note that FM radio signals travel in almost straight lines and are unable to travel over or penetrate large obstructions. This usually means that parts of a coverage area may have a weak signal particularly in hilly terrain or highly built up urban areas.

FM Dipole Antenna The FM dipole antenna is economical and relatively simple to install, whilst offering a considerable increase in reception quality. An FM dipole antenna is built from TV ribbon cable, which is often supplied with hi-fi tuners or can be purchased from an electronics store.

A professional antenna installer can split the cable from the TV antenna and then run separate cables to the TV and FM receivers. If a splitter device is used, the signal strength is reduced. In some cases, particularly in low signal strength areas, an amplifier may also be needed. An amplifier boosts the signal and ensures that adequate signal strengths are supplied to both the radio and the television set.

FM provides high-fidelity sound over broadcast radio. FM broadcast band is from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz. VHF band extends from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. Thus FM belongs to VHF. The property of the High frequency signals is that they propagate only in line of sight i.e., upto 50 to 100 Km .And these signals never reflects or refracts. But in the ionosphere these signals reflects back to earth. Dxing = D(Distant)+ X(Unknown) DX communication is communication over great distances using the ionosphere to refract the transmitted radio beam. The beam returns to the Earth’s surface, and may then be reflected back into the ionosphere for a second bounce. Ionospheric refraction is generally only feasible for frequencies below about 50 MHz, and is highly dependent upon atmospheric conditions, the time of day, and the eleven-year sunspot cycle. It is also affected by solar storms and some other solar events, which can alter the Earth’s ionosphere by ejecting a shower of charged particles.The angle of refraction places a minimum on the distance at which the refracted beam will first return to Earth. This distance increases with frequency. According to Dxing theory, an FM/TV signal from 700 to 1500 miles can be received.
