independent and alternative music. It is owned and operated by Raven Broadcasting Corporation,
and is one of the partner stations of Tiger 22 Media. The station's studio is located at Unit 202,
Strata 2000 Building, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, while the transmitter is
located at Palos Verdes Executive Village, Brgy. Sta. Cruz, Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City,
Rizal.

1. Application for FM
BROADCAST
AUTHORIZATIONS must show two field strength contours, these are the 48 dBu (251uV/m) and the
60dBu(1mV/m).
2. THE ALLOCATION PROTECTION RATIOS FOR FM BROADCASTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
 University of Perpetual Help System Dalta – Calamba
Campus
FREQUENCY FREQUENCY SEPARATION R.F. SIGNAL RATIO R.F. PROTECTION RATIO
ADJACENCY (Db)

CO - CHANNEL SAME 0 60dBU : 15dBU 45

FREQUENCY 1mV/m : 5.62uV/m

FIRST ADJACENCY 200KHz 60dBU : 53dBU 7

(9 KILOHERTZ AWAY) 1mV/m : 446uV/m

SECOND ADJACENCY 400KHz 60dBU : 80dBU -20

(18 KILOHERTZ AWAY) 1mV/m : 10mV/m
3. In predicting the distance to the field strength contours (EXTENT OF FIELDS) “FM CHANNELS FIELD INTENSITY
CHART”. PCO may be used. The chart is based on the ERP of one kilowatt. For other values of ERP, the
accompanying sliders shall be used. The distance in miles obtained from use of the chart is converted to kilometers
by multiplying Mile by 1,609.
