A.I.R is one of the largest radio networks in
the world.
A national service planned, developed and
operated by the Prasar Bharati Broadcasting
Corporation of India
All India Radio, Jodhpur was established at
15th August,1965.
The Satellite Earth station was established at
21st March,1944.

To uphold the unity and integrity of the country and the
values enshrined in the Constitution.
Present a fair and balanced flow of information of national,
regional, local and international interest, including contrasting
views, without advocating any opinion or ideology of its own.
Produce and transit varied programs designed to awaken,
inform, educate, entertain and enrich all sections of the
people.
OBJECTIVE

HISTORY AND PRESENT SCENERIO
In 1926 the private Indian Broadcasting Company (IBC) was
granted permission to operate two radio stations; the Bombay
station was inaugurated on July 23, 1927, the Calcutta station
followed on August 26, 1927.
The introduction of the commercial channel Vividh Bharti in
October 1957 increased the interest and popularity of radio.
6. 6
AIR today has a network of 237 broadcasting centers with 149
medium frequency (MW), 54 high frequency (SW) and 177 FM
transmitters.
The coverage is 91.85% of the area , serving 99.18% of the
people in the largest democracy of the world.
AIR covers 24 Languages and 146 dialects in home services.

Principles Of All India Radio
*Transmitting
*A radio wave carries information signal;
Signals are converted into electrical
signals. A carrier wave is then produced
from the modulation. The wave is then
amplified, and sent to the antenna that
then converts signal into an E.M. wave.
*Receiving
*An antenna on receiving the signal send it
to the receiver this then converts the
electrical signal sends it to the amplifier
either a speaker/headphones jack this is
then converted into a sound wave.

Antenna is usually a metallic device (as a rod or a
wire) used for radiating or receiving
electromagnetic waves.
Transmission - radiates electromagnetic energy into
space
Reception - collects electromagnetic energy from space
In two-way communication, the same antenna can
be used for transmission and reception
Antenna Introduction
9. 9
Types of Antennas
Isotropic antenna (idealized)
Radiates power equally in all directions
Dipole antennas
Half-wave dipole antenna (or Hertz antenna)
Quarter-wave vertical antenna (or Marconi
antenna)
10. 10
Types of Antennas
Yagi uda
Phased arrays
Vertical or Horizontal
Horns for super ultra
high frequencies
Mobile antennas
11. 11
Antenna Array
Consist of multiple antennas collaborating to
synthesize radiation characteristics not available
with a single antenna. They are able
to match the radiation pattern to the desired
coverage area.
to change the radiation pattern electronically
through the control of the phase and the amplitude
of the signal fed to each element.
to adapt to changing signal conditions.
to increase transmission capacity by better use of
the radio resources and reducing interference.

Antenna Array
27 antennas along 3 railroad tracks provide baselines up to 35
km. Radio images are formed by correlating the signals
garnered by each antenna.
13. 13
Advantages of Antenna Array
Possibilities to control electronically
Direction of maximum radiation
Directions (positions) of nulls
Beam-width
Directivity
Levels of side lobes
Using standard antennas (or antenna collections)
independently of their radiation patterns.
Antenna elements can be distributed along straight
lines, arcs, squares, circles, etc.

KEY LEARNINGS
Important concepts of communication.
Resource management.
Discipline.
Development of a practical point of view towards
the work.
