CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW OF THE DESIGN

1
INTRODUCTION
Broadcasting in general has been operating for such a long time now, and

the development of the technology seems to keep moving forward. Keeping up

close with the idea of a futuristic world. Broadcasting really has change the way of

living of people. It is considered to be the cheapest, fastest, and the most popular

means of communication. It is also used for educational purposes and

disseminating public information. The kind of source which most people rely.

In the current broadcasting field here in the Philippines, there are three

types of broadcasting that is presently and widely used in the country. One of

which employs amplitude modulation (AM) transmissions. It was the first method

developed for making audio radio transmissions, and is still used worldwide,

primarily for medium wave transmissions, but also on the longwave and shortwave

radio bands. The second is FM broadcasting; it is a method of radio broadcasting

using frequency modulation (FM) technology. Invented in 1933 by American

engineer Edwin Armstrong, it is used worldwide to provide high-fidelity sound over

broadcast radio. FM broadcasting is capable of better sound quality than AM

broadcasting. Lastly, the broadcast television systems are encoding or formatting

standards for the transmission and reception of terrestrial television signals. There

were three main analog television systems in use around the world until late

2010s: NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. Now in digital television (DTV), there are four

main systems in use around the world: ATSC, DVB, ISDB and DTMB.

As of today, there several ways in order to disseminate information to the

public, but AM radio is considered to be one of the most reliable means to disperse

2
public information as it used mostly in news related purposes especially during

calamities.

Television broadcasting is the most popular of the three, it is mostly used for

entertainment but using it alongside with AM broadcasting will result to larger

range of audience.

This study aims to develop an AM-TV broadcasting system covering the

whole province of Palawan which will provide high quality and accurate broadcast

in the said area.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Antenna - is a device that transmits and/or receives electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves are often referred to as radio waves. Most antennas

are resonant devices, which operate efficiently over a relatively narrow

frequency band. An antenna must be tuned to the same frequency band that

the radio system to which it is connected operates in, otherwise reception

and/or transmission will be impaired.

Antenna Current – is the radio frequency current in the antenna with no

modulation.

Antenna Factor - The Antenna Factor (AF) is defined as the ratio of the incident

Electromagnetic Field to the output voltage from the antenna.

8
Antenna Field Gain – the ratio of the effective free space field intensity produced

at 1.6 kilometers in the horizontal plane expressed in millivolts per meter for

one kilowatt antenna power to 137.6 millivolts per meter.

Antenna Height above Average Terrain – the height of the radiation center of the

antenna above the terrain is 3 to 16 kilometers from the antenna. (Generally, a

different antenna height will be determined for each radial direction from the

antenna. The average of these various heights is considered as the antenna

height above average terrain.)

Antenna Power Gain – the square of the ratio of the root-mean-square free space

field strength produced at 1.6 kilometers in the horizontal plane, in millivolts

per meter for one kilowatt antenna power, to 137.6 millivolts. This ratio is

expressed in decibels

Antenna Resistance – means the total resistance of the transmitting antenna

system at the operating frequency and at the point at which the antenna

current is measured.

Authorized Frequency - the carrier frequency authorized by the Authority.

Beamwidth - Depending on the radio system in which an antenna is being

employed there can be many definitions of beamwidth. A common definition is

the half power beamwidth. The peak radiation intensity is found and then the

points on either side of the peak represent half the power of the peak intensity

are located. The angular distance between the half power points traveling

through the peak is the beamwidth. Half the power is -3dB, so the half power

beamwidth is sometimes referred to as the 3dB beamwidth.

9
Broadband antenna - An antenna capable of operation over a wide band of

frequencies

Carrier Frequency – it’s a frequency of the carrier wave.

Carrier Wave - a sinusoidal voltage or current generated in a transmitter and

subsequently modulated by a modulating wave.

Center Frequency - the carrier frequency allocated by the authority.

Channel – a transmission path. The distinction between the concept of a ―channel‖

and a ―signal‖ are not always clear. The usage herein distinguishes between

transmission channels; main channels, stereophonic sub channel, etc., and left

and right audio signals.

Class A Station – a Class A station shall have an authorized transmitter power not

exceeding 25 kilowatts and an Effective Radiated Power (ERP) not exceeding

125 kilowatts and limited in antenna height of 2,000 feet above average

terrain. The minimum transmitter power shall be 10kW. Class A station shall

only be allowed in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu.

Class B Station – a Class B station shall have an authorized transmitter power not

exceeding 10 kilowatts and an ERP not exceeding 30 kilowatts, and limited in

antenna height of 500 feet above average terrain. The minimum transmitter

power shall be 1kW.

Class C Station - a Class C station is a non-commercial, community station having

an authorized radiated power not exceeding 1,000 watts (ERP).

10
Class D Station – a Class D station shall have an authorized transmitter power not

exceeding 10 watts. Educational stations shall be allowed to operate with

Class D transmitter power.

Composite Baseband Signal – a signal which is the sum of all signals, which

frequency modulates the main carrier. The signal can be represented by a

formula, which includes all signal components, the main channel signal, the

stereophonic sub carrier, the pilot sub carrier and the SCA sub carrier(s).

Continuity book - A daily file of all commercials, in chronological order, to be

broadcast on a radio or TV station.

Crosstalk – an undesired signal occurring in one channel by an electrical signal in

another channel.

Daytime – refers to that period of time between 2100 GMT – 1000 GMT (5:00AM –

6:00PM local standard time).

Decibel (dB) – it’s a ratio of the power input in a circuit to the power output. Used to

defined loss or gain of a device or circuit.

Directivity - It is a measure of how focused an antenna coverage pattern is in a

given direction. A theoretical loss-less antenna element, referred to as a

isotropic element, has 0 dBi directive gain equally distributed in all 3

dimensions. In order to achieve higher directive gain, antennas are normally

designed to focus or concentrate the antenna pattern only in the direction of

the radio link, thereby maximizing energy usage.

Dead Air – it’s a broadcasting term for silence, perhaps resulting from a dead

microphone.

11
Dead Spot – it’s an area where broadcast reception is weak; also called dead

space. A dead spot is also a broadcast commercial or program not aired,

sometimes called black space.

Effective Radiated Power - the product of the transmitter power multiplied by (a)

the antenna power gain or (b) the antenna field gain squared. Where circular

or elliptical polarization is employed, the term effective radiated power is

applied separately to the horizontal and vertical components of radiation.

Experimental Period – it’s the period between 12 midnight to 5:00 A.M local

standard time (1600-2100 GMT). This period may be used for experimental

purposes in testing and maintaining apparatus by the licensee of any

broadcast station on its assigned frequency and not in excess of its authorized

power, provided no interference is caused to other stations maintaining a

regular operating schedule within such period.

Electric Field (E-Field) - An electric field or E-field is an effect produced by an

electric charge that exerts a force on charged objects in its vicinity.

Earphones - A device, akin to a miniature loudspeaker, that reproduces sound and

is worn over the ears; more commonly called headphones or a headset.

Equalizer - A process that attempts to enhance the quality of a recording by

filtering out distortions and other undesirable elements.

Far-Field - The far field corresponds to an RF source-to-measurement antenna

distance great enough that energy radiates from the source only in a radial

direction. The E and H fields are mutually perpendicular to that direction and

each other, and their ratio is 377 W, the impedance of free space.

12
Front-to-Back Ratio - This ratio is the main lobe gain divided by the rear lobe gain.

Since antenna gains and Front-to-Back ratios are usually given in dB, you

normally get the Front-to-Back figure by subtracting the rearward gain from the

forward gain (both in dB).

Field Intensity – as used in this standard shall mean the electric field intensity in

the horizontal direction.

Field Strength – the root-mean-square (RMS) value of the voltage stress produced

in space by the electric field or a radio wave, and is ex pressed in volts per

meter or in decibels (dB) relative to it.

Frequency Deviation – the peak differences between the instantaneous frequency

of the modulated wave and the carrier frequency.

Frequency Swing – it’s the instantaneous departure of the frequency of the

emitted wave from the center frequency resulting from modulation.

Feedback - A loud noise, squeal, or howl from a microphone or speaker, caused by

improper placement, circuit noise, accidental closing of the circuit, or another

error or problem.

Frequency modulation (FM) – it’s the encoding of a carrier wave, such as the

sound waves or audio signals of a radio or TV station, by the variation--

modulating--of its frequency, resulting in little or no static and high fidelity in

reception. FM radio stations, from 88 to 108 megahertz produce reception

superior to that of AM or amplitude modulation stations, particularly of music in

the high-frequency range.

13
Gain -The ratio of the signal, usually expressed in dB, received or transmitted by a

given antenna as compared to an isotropic or dipole antenna. Antenna gain

can only be achieved by making an antenna directional, that is, with better

performance in one direction than in others.

Hertz – unit of frequency, supplanting the term ―cycle per second‖ (cps).

High-definition television (HDTV) – it’s a system with higher resolution, or pictorial

clarity, and other qualities that are superior to techniques currently used by

U.S. television stations. In HDTV, more lines per picture frame are transmitted

than is standard (525 lines per frame in the United States), resulting in

sharper, more vivid images.

Input Power – the product of the voltage and current at the output of the last radio

stage, measured without modulation.

Intermittent service area – the area receiving service from the ground wave but

beyond the primary service area and subject to some interference and fading.

Interruptible feedback line (IFB) - A telephone line for a producer or a director to

talk to a newscaster or an interviewer during a broadcast.

Interstitial programming - The placement of short programs between full-length

programs. For example, Home Box Office (HBO) and other movie channels

schedule programs of about 2 to 25 minutes between the full-length movies.

ISDN - digital, high bandwidth telephone lines that can deliver data over the

Internet. Data, including encoded audio and video, travels at 128K bits per

second over an ISDN line.

14
Magnetic Field (H-Field) - The measured intensity of a magnetic field at a specific

point. Usually expressed in amperes/meter.

Maximum percentage of modulation – the greatest percentage of modulation that

may be obtained by a transmitter without producing in its output harmonics of

the modulating frequency in excess of those permitted by these regulations.

Maximum Rated Carrier Power – the maximum power at which the transmitter can

be operated satisfactorily and is determined by the design of the transmitter.

Medium Frequency Broadcast Band – the band of frequencies from 526.5 to

1705 kilohertz.

Medium Frequency Broadcast Channel – the band of frequencies occupied by

the carrier and two (2) sidebands of an AM broadcast signal with the carrier

frequency at the center. Channels shall be designated by the assigned carrier

frequencies starting from 531 kHz in increments of 9 kHz.

Multiplexing – in its simplest sense, multiplexing implies that two or independent

sources of information are combined for carriage over a single medium,

namely, the radio frequency carrier, and then separated at the receiving end.

Near-Field - The close-in region of an antenna where the angular field distribution

is dependent upon the distance from the antenna.

Night-time - refers to that period of time between 1000-2100 GMT (6:00PM –

5:00AM local standard time).

Operating Frequency – the carrier frequency at any particular time

Operating Power – operating power is the transmitter output power

15
Polarization - Polarization is defined as the orientation of the electric field of an

electromagnetic wave. Polarization is in general described by an ellipse. Two

often used special cases of elliptical polarization are linear polarization and

circular polarization. The initial polarization of a radio wave is determined by

the antenna that launches the waves into space. The environment through

which the radio wave passes on its way from the transmit antenna to the

receive antenna may cause a change in polarization.

Percentage modulation (PM) – it’s the ratio of half the difference between the

maximum and minimum amplitudes of the amplitude wave to the average

amplitude expressed in percentage.

Primary service area – it’s the area in which the ground wave field of 3.16mV/m

(70dBu) is not subject to objectionable interference or objectionable fading.

Secondary service area – the area served by the sky wave and not subject to

objectionable interference. The signal is subject to intermittent variations in

intensity.

Secondary station – a station operating on any one channel and is designed to

render service over a primary service area which is limited by the subject to

such interference as may be received from a clear-channel station.

Spurious emission – it’s the emission of any frequency outside of the assigned

channel or authorized band of frequency and tolerances allowed by these

regulations.

Total harmonic distortion (THD) – it’s the effective value of the harmonic voltages

present in the audio frequency output of the equipment under test.

16
Radiation Pattern –it’s a chart of relative radiation intensity (or power) versus

direction. A plot of the radiated energy from an antenna. The variation of the

field intensity of an antenna as an angular function with respect to the axis.

VSWR -As the electric wave travels through the different parts of the antenna

system (radio, feed line, antenna, free space) it may encounter differences in

impedance. At each interface, some fraction of the wave's energy will reflect

back to the source, forming a standing wave in the feed line. The ratio of

maximum power to minimum power in the wave can be measured and is

called the standing wave ratio (SWR). A SWR of 1:1 is ideal. A SWR of 1.5:1

is considered to be marginally acceptable in low power applications where

power loss is more critical, although an SWR as high as 6:1 may still be usable

with the right equipment.

X-Band - A range of frequencies between 8GHz and 12GHz.

Wavelength -The wavelength is the distance between repeating units of a wave

pattern. It is commonly designated by the Greek letter lambda (λ).

OVERVIEW OF THE SITE

18
OVERVIEW OF THE PROVINCE OF PALAWAN

a. Brief Description

Palawan is an archipelagic province of the Philippines that is located in

the region of MIMAROPA. It is the largest province in the country in terms of

total area of jurisdiction. Its capital is the city of Puerto Princesa, but the city is

governed independently from the province as a highly urbanized city.

The islands of Palawan stretch between Mindoro in the northeast

and Borneo in the southwest. It lies between the West Philippine Sea (South

China Sea) and the Sulu Sea. The province is named after its largest

island, Palawan Island (09°30′N 118°30′E), measuring 450 kilometers (280 mi)

long, and 50 kilometers (31 mi) wide.

The province is composed of the long and narrow Palawan Island, plus a

number of other smaller islands surrounding it, totalling roughly 1,780 islands

and islets.

The population of Palawan in the 2015 census was 849,469 people, with a

density of 58 inhabitants per square kilometer or 150 inhabitants per square

mile. When Puerto Princesa City is included for geographical purposes, the

population is 1,104,585 people, with a density of 65/km2 (168/sq mi).

Palawan's economy is basically agricultural. The three major crops are

palay, corn and coconut. Mineral resources include nickel, copper,

manganese, and chromite. Logging is also a major industry. Palawan has one

of the richest fishing grounds in the country. About 45% of Manila's supply of

19
fish comes from here. Having natural gas reserves of approximately 30,000

trillion cubic feet, the province is the only oil-producing province in the country.

Topography

Palawan is approximately located at the southwestern edge of the

Philippine archipelago. The whole archipelagic province is composed on 1,769

islands and islets with a total coastline of 1,959 kilometers. The province is

approximately 672 km southwest of Manila. Tts boundaries include Mindoro on

the northeast, West Philippine Sea on the west, Sulu Sea on the east and

Borneo island on the south. Palawan’s topography consists of rolling

mountainous terrain with highly irregular and indented coastline resulting in

coves and bays. It has a rugged terrain, particularly on the western portion

where mountain ranges are up to 2,086 meters. Moreover, tall mountain

ranges run through the entire central length which bisect the province into east

and west coast.

The province generally is typhoon-free—except for the northernmost

municipalities which are occasionally visited by typhoons. Consequently,

Palawan has two pronounced climates: dry season and wet season but the

occurrence of the seasons varies between the northern and southern

extremities of the province.

Palawan is the largest province in the country, even with the exclusion of

the independent city of Puerto Princesa, with a total land area of 1,489,655

hectares. Its total land area is approximately 5% of the whole country’s area

while it comprises 54% of land area of the MIMAROPA region. Out of its total

land area, 79% is part of mainland Palawan while the remaining is the overall

land area of the island municipalities.

21
Climate

The province has two types of climate. The first, which occurs in the

northern and southern extremities and the entire western coast, has two

distinct seasons – six months dry and six months wet. The other, which

prevails in the eastern coast, has a short dry season of one to three months

and no pronounced rainy period during the rest of the year. The southern part

of the province is virtually free from tropical depressions but northern Palawan

experiences torrential rains during the months of July and August. Summer

months serve as peak season for Palawan. Sea voyages are most favorable

from March to early June when the seas are calm. The average maximum

temperature is 31 °C (88 °F) with little variation all year.

AM PROCEDURES

1. Assign an operating frequency, fc (based on the remaining vacant AM

Channels in the province of Palawan, the operating frequency of the design

will be 945 KHz, Channel 47).

2. Know the Antenna Height in meters by plotting the operating frequency, fc, in

the Antenna Height vs. Frequency Graph. This will be used in computing the

Antenna Height (in wavelength).

3. Compute for the Operating wavelength by using the formula Lambda (λ) =

c/fc. Also, this will be used in computing the Antenna Height (in wavelength).

4. Compute for the Antenna Height (in wavelength) which has a formula of AH λ

= AH/λ in order to compute for the Antenna Height (in degrees).

5. Compute for the Antenna Height in degrees by multiplying the Antenna

Height (in wavelength) to 360 degrees and 2.

6. Select an appropriate Radiation Pattern in the Radiation Pattern Graph Take

note of the Phasing and Spacing which will be used in the succeeding

computation.

7. Know the mutual Impedance in ohm and Phase Angle of Impedance (in

degrees) by plotting the Antenna Height (in degrees) in the Loop Mutual

Impedance and Phase Angle graph. This will be used in the succeeding

computations.

8. Know the loop Radiation resistance (R11 and R22) and Inverse Field

Strength at 1km (Eis) by plotting the Antenna Height in degrees in the Field

31
Strength and Loop Radiation Graph. This will be used for the succeeding

computation.

9. Compute for the coupling resistance at loop antenna 1 and antenna 2 (RC1

and RC2 in ohm), R1, R2 (both in ohm), and the inverse Field Strength at 1

mile from antenna 1 (Ei) in mV/m.

10. . Compute for the Field Strength in each of the radial angle (ER and Er).

11. Make 36 radials from the positioned transmitter in the Topographical map.

12. Measure the distances of every terrain in a given radial from the transmitter

and know the conductivities of each terrain.

13. Plot the measured distances and conductivities in the Ground Wave Field

Strength Vs. Distance graph. Also, determine the distances of every Field

Strength (Er) in this graph.

14. Plot the distances measured in every Field Strength (Er) on a given Field

Strength (Fn). By this, you will know the Radiation Pattern in every Field

Strength (Fn).

AM DESIGN COMPUTATION

OPERATING FREQUENY

Based on the remaining vacant AM Channels in the province of Palawan, the


operating frequency of the design will be 945 kHz, Channel 47.

Channels for AM
Broadcasting

33
OPERATING WAVELENGTH (Lambda, λ)
The operating wavelength is obtained by dividing the speed of light to the
operating frequency.

Figure 4.2 Frequency VS. Antenna Height Graph

34
ANTENNA HEIGHT IN WAVELENGTH AND DEGREES

The antenna height in wavelength is obtained by dividing the antenna height in


meters by the operating wavelength.

ANTENNA HEIGHT IN DEGREES

Antenna Height in degrees is obtained by multiplying the antenna height in


wavelength by 360 degrees.

EFFECTIVE FIELD STRENGTH (FS)

Effective Field Strength is the root mean square value of the voltage stress
produced in the space by the electric field or radio wave, and is expressed in
volts/meter or in decibels relative to it. The effective field strength is obtained
by projecting the intersection of the antenna height in wavelength and its
corresponding curve to the right. The theoretical curve should be used for its
theoretical value and curve A value.

Theoretical = 311 mV/m


Curve A = 301 mV/m

Figure 4.3 Effective Field Strength Graph

36
RADIATION PATTERN

Radiation pattern refers to the boundary or limit which defines the strength of the
signal in a given location. This is dependent on the spacing of the antenna
and the conductivity of soil of the adjacent site and obtained by choice in the
graph of Standard Broadcast Antenna System in the NAB.

Figure 4.4 Radiation Pattern

37
Phasing (Ψ) = 150°
Spacing (S) = 180°

MUTUAL IMPEDANCE (Z)


This is obtained by projecting the intersection between antenna height in
degrees and the spacing to the left. While projecting the intersection point
between the antenna height in degrees and the phase of impedance to the
right, the phase angle is obtained.

Figure 4.5 Mutual Impedance Graph

38
Mutual Impedance (Z) = 47 Ω
Phase Angle (Ȣ) = 235°

LOOP RADIATION RESISTANCE AND FIELD STRENGTH

From graph A-5 loop radiation resistance is obtained by projecting the


intersection between the antenna heights in degrees to the right. Projecting
the point to the left will determine Inverse Field Strength E 1s

REVERBERATION TIME COMPUTATION
Reverberation is the persistence of sound in a particular space after the
original sound is produce.

A reverberation or reverb is created when a sound in produced in an enclosed


space causing a large number of echoes to build up and then slowly decay
as the sound is absorbed by the walls and air.

The interval between the initial direct arrival of sound wave and the last
audible reflected wave is called reverberation time.

fc = 946.9868 MHz

The frequency band allocation for STUDIO-TO-TRANSMITTER

LINK/REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM shall be:

 Band A 300-315 MHz

 Band B 734-752 MHz

 Band C 942-952 MHz

Therefore, the design will use the Band C for the Studio-to-Transmitter
Link.
