No ads, no commercials just the learning videos, you are contributing a lot to my career grow, I love you Sunny!

[@ajdagoat4885]

WOULD YOU LIKE AM OR FM??

[@sunnyclassroom24]

It depends. AM is cheaper and transmits over longer distance, but with noises and lower quality. FM is in high quality, but expensive and transmit over the shorter distance.

Sir your explanation is very well please make a video on delta modulation and differential pulse code modulation.

[@matthewdaver8012]

Thank you Sunny for your excellent lectures!! In your previous lesson, you said carrier waves travel further than signals because they have higher frequency . Does it mean higher frequency waves have larger area coverage? IF SO, but in this lesson you said AM covers larger area because of its lower frequency! Do you mean , in general, carrier waves used in AM have a lower range than carrier waves used in FM? Thank you

[@ronaldonmg]

carrierwaves do not travel further than signals. In fact, some radioamateurs use signals without carrierwave to get greater distance. It is called "single side band", either upper or lower. (SSB, USB, LSB) Higher frequencies don't have larger coverage, but in shortwave they do have a bigger "dead-zone")

is to say thanks enough for you mr bitght man ?

[@sunnyclassroom24]

Thank you for your nice comments!

[@Anonymous-ed4id]

Thanks Sunny. Very vivid. However, I'm a bit curious, if FM is immune to static, then why using AM sometimes? When will AM be used? And why？

[@sunnyclassroom24]

AM can travel over a longer distance.

It depends on your location. some times AM is very clear and stable.

[@sure6687]

2:51 most of News radios are AM 原来是这样。我在aged care工作时，喜欢听新闻的老人。频道里一直都是新闻。原来是这样

Thanks, Sunny.

[@erikpoephoofd]

great video!

[@sunnyclassroom24]

thanks a lot for leaving nice comment.

[@jancenj2218]

Why does the lower frequency range of an AM cover a larger area?

[@kadersahibmaricar705]

Because lower frequency means larger wavelength and hence larger area.

[@samuelantonov9939]

Groundwave/Skywave propagation.

[@ronaldonmg]

Wrong question. Low frequencies (longwave, mediumwave, shortwave) get reflected by layers high up, whereas high frequencies like UHF go (almost) straight into space. These things are notr dependent on modulation-type

[@technicaltransistor2658]

hi sir, which tool you use to make these video

[@salamatpanjaitan7546]

sir, why FM affected by physical barrier

[@addisonmackinac]

I LOVE THIS

[@edadeniz123]

how can it be different if the carrier signal is the same?

[@edadeniz123]

Can someone please explain it to me

[@methos102282]

Thanks for the video. Why is the frequency not affected? I can't find any resources that connect this topic to basic wave interference in physics.

[@jancenj2218]

On FM, if the frequency is changing depending on the data signal, how can a radio receiver tune to that carrier frequency? Does frequency modulation actually change the carrier frequency?

[@vjekoslavcvetnic7500]

Yes, on FM it changes carrier frequency up and down from main tuned frequency and it is called bandwidth. There is narrow bandwidth and wide bandwidth. Narrow bandwidth is used for voice communication where is not important complete audio spectrum such bass and treble audio frequencies like on police, army, fire department... communication so the bandwidth is narrow and it could be 30kHz, 25kHz, 12kHz, that means on 30kHz bandwidth it changes 15kHz up from main frequency carrier and 15kHz down from main carrier frequency, on 25kHz bandwidth it changes 12,5kHz up and 12,5kHz down, on 12kHz bandwidth it changes 6kHz up and 6kHz down from main frequency carrier. The narrow the channel bandwidth is the lower the quality sound reproduction is (cutting bass and treble audio range), but benefit is you can have more frequency channels on the same range. On wide channel bandwidth such demand on commercial radio broadcasting 87,5-108 MHz where people are listening the music and demanding high quality sound reproduction, you need to modulate whole audio spectrum from 20Hz-20kHz the basses, midrange, treble, then stereo subcarriers, pilot, left an right channel, you need wide bandwidth such 200kHz, that means 100kHz down and 100kHz up from main frequency carrier to compress whole information. The television channels take even wider bandwidth 8 or 9MHz, that means 4,5MHz down and 4,5MHz up to modulate sound and picture on frequency carrier. Previous when was TV analog modulation you could on one channel modulate only one TV station. Sound was FM and picture was AM modulated, today when is digital broadcasting you can modulate on one frequency TV channel up to 10 different TV programs which package of different TV programs on one frequency is called multiplexer.

[@sithumijayarathna6739]

sir please explain phase modulation as well

[@Leprikol]

phase modulation produces by FM mostly same concept.

hi

[@sunnyclassroom24]

Hi

[@fraeid]

thanks prof

[@LiaLiana1101]

2:44 when we talk about data transmission, when we mean that we have a high bandwidth, then we have a high frequency range and thus the data can be transmitted over a longer distance, as far as I know. But here it says that AM frequency range is lower and that's why it can cover larger areas, and that would contradict what I said before. What am I missing? >.

[@farenzu4578]

higher freq = higher bandwidth but lower area coverage.it also used in 5g that they have to built many nanocell to gain more bandwidth

[@ronaldonmg]

there's no such thing as "AM frequency". What you are missing is that on high-frequency bands there simply is more space ("bandwidth"). On mediumwave and longwave, stations are just 9 or 10 KHz apart. On shortwave they can be 5 KHz apart. On the FM-band (aka "3-meterband"), that is 87.5-108.5 MHz, they are at least 100 KHz apart. Also, the higher the frequency, the more information you can modulate

[@ronaldonmg]

@@farenzu4578 "higher freq = lower area coverage". Not necessarily. Most high frequencies all have a comparable area with a radius of a few dozen kilometers. 5G needs more stations than other frequencies because it uses a frequency of 600+ MHz that gets absorbed by oxigen - just like visible light gets absorbed by fog
