Audio And Visual System (W/O Stereo Component Amplifier) -- Identification Of Noise Source



RADIO WAVE BAND


  1. Radio frequency band



    1. Radio broadcasts use the radio frequency bands shown in the table below.

  1. The broadcast range for AM and FM is very different. Sometimes an AM broadcast can be received very clearly but FM stereo cannot.
    FM stereo has the smallest service area, and is prone to picking up static and other types of interference (for example, noise).


RECEPTION PROBLEMS
HINT:
Besides the problem of static, there are other problems, such as "phasing", "multipath" and "fade out". These problems are caused by the nature of the radio waves themselves, not by electrical noise.

  1. AM broadcasts are susceptible to electrical interference called phasing. Occurring only at night, phasing is the interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off of the ionosphere and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.

  2. Multipath is a type of interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off of buildings or mountains and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.

  3. Fade out is caused by objects (buildings, mountains, etc.) that deflect away part of a signal, resulting in a weaker signal when the object is between the transmitter and vehicle. High frequency radio waves, such as FM broadcasts, are easily deflected by obstructions. Low frequency radio waves, such as AM broadcasts, are much more difficult to deflect.


NOISE PROBLEMS

  1. Technicians must have a clear understanding about the noise problems of the vehicle of the customer. Use the following table to diagnose the problems.

    Radio Wave
    		Condition in Which Noise Occurs
    		Presumable Cause
    AM
    		Noise occurs in a specific area
    		Strong possibility of foreign noise
    AM
    		Noise occurs when broadcasting is weak
    1. Same program may be broadcasted from various local stations
    2. If the program is the same, one of those may be tuned in
    AM
    		Noise occurs only at night
    		Strong possibility of beats from distant broadcasting
    FM
    		Noise occurs at a specific place during driving
    		Strong possibility of multipath noise and fading noise caused by changes of FM frequency
    HINT:
    When the noise does not match the examples above, refer to "Reception Problems". Check the descriptions about phasing and multipath.
