OBJECTIVES:
 To achieve practical experience about a typical
radio base station
 To know the operating principle of AM and FM
radio broadcasting center
 To get familiar with the equipments used in a radio
broadcasting center
 To know important technical information related
to radio broadcasting in Bangladesh

HISTORY OF BANGLADESH BETAR
 Radio Broadcasting was launched in December 16,
1939 in Bangladesh
 Rajshahi Betar was started in 1954

 Bangladesh Betar played a very vital role during the

independent war in 1971
 At present Bangladesh Betar, Rajshahi
broadcasting there programs both in AM & FM.

THEORY OF A RADIO BROADCASTING
 Both AM and FM Broadcasting is performed at
Bangladesh Betar
 In AM the amplitude of the carrier wave is modified
according to the amplitude of the message signal.
 In FM the frequency of the carrier signal is modified
according to the amplitude of the message signal.
 Modulation technique is necessary to reduce
antenna size, to optimize channel bandwidth and to
transmit signals more effectively.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AM & FM
BROADCASTING
AM Broadcasting FM Broadcasting

1. Frequency band is 540- 1. Frequency band is 88-108MHz

1650KHz

2. Require less power to cover a 2. Require more power to cover a

particular area compared to FM particular area compared to AM

3. Signal quality is not superior. 3. Signal quality is much superior

than AM radio.

4. The coverage area of AM 4. The coverage area of FM
