This document provides information about radio broadcasting in India. It discusses:
- The history of radio broadcasting in India, beginning with the first broadcast license in 1922 and the establishment of the All India Radio network in 1936.
- The technical aspects of radio transmission, including how radio waves carry signals and how receivers convert those signals back into audio.
- The components and functions of a radio broadcasting studio, including mixing boards, recording rooms, and transmission equipment.
- Details about AIR's network today, which includes 149 MW transmitters, 54 SW transmitters, and 171 FM transmitters covering over 91% of India.

2. • Radio is the transmission of signals by
modulation of electromagnetic waves with
frequencies below those of visible light.
• Radio is based on wireless communication
or setellite communication.
• In this era of technology due to need of
wireless communication, A national
service was planned and developed by the
Prasar Bharati Broadcasting Corporation
of India.
3. ï‚— The first license granted for transmitting a broadcast was given
on February 23, 1922. The Radio Club of Calcutta was the first
radio club to start functioning in Nov-1924
ï‚— The Government run broadcasting set up was called the India
State Broadcasting Service (ISBS) which is then turned into AIR
(All India Radio) in June 1936.
 The introduction of the commercial channel ‘Vividh Bharti’ in
October 1957 increased the interest and popularity of radio.
ï‚— AIR today has a network of 232 broadcasting centres with 149
medium frequency(MW), 54 high frequency (SW) and 171
FM transmitters.The coverage is 91.79% of the area
serving 99.14% of the people.C
4. 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.
10. Studio transmitter link equipment in 1.5 GHz frequency band
can be used for transmission of signal music channel (STL-O1).
STL link consist of two terminal i.e. one receiver and one
transmit the music program from AIR.
Receiver terminal consist of only receiver modules
required to receive the studio program and then this music is
given to AIR transmitter. Both transmitter and receiver terminals
are with standby modules the switch over operation to standing
module is automatic without any time Delay
16. Here is an example of both FM
modulation and AM modulation
you can see from the image that
AM is much looser than the FM
signal meaning that less data can
be sent at one time as it isn’t
compressed. The reason for the
difference in sound quality as a
lower bitrate must be sent across
the wave.

18. o This is only means which can provide multi access two way communication.
o The cost of transmitting information through satellite is independent of
distance involved.
o Satellite can be used for two way communication or broadcast purpose with
the covered area.
o Satellites are capable of handling very high bandwidth.
o It is possible to provide large coverage using satellite. For example
Geostationary satellite can cover about 42% of earth surface using global
beam.
