of the source of the wave relative to the observer. The following equations apply. Sound Waves fo = fs [(v + w + vo) / (v + w - vs)] where fo = observed or perceived sound frequency (Hz) vo = velocity of observer (m/s) vs = velocity of source (m/s) v = velocity of sound in the medium (m/s) w = velocity of the wind in the direction of sound propagation (m/s) fs = frequency of the source (Hz) Electromagnetic Waves fo = fs (sqrt[(c + vr) / (c - vr)]) where fo = observed or perceived electromagnetic wave frequency (Hz) fs = frequency of the source (Hz) vr = velocity of source relative to the observer (m/s) c = speed of light in vacuum (3e8 m/s)
Below are some commonly used formulas for designing an antenna. 1) Length of Ideal Hertz Antenna L= /2 where L = length of the Hertz Antenna = wavelength 2) Length of Ideal Marconi Antenna L= /4 where L = length of the Marconi Antenna = wavelength 3) Power Received by a Hertz Antenna P = (PtGtGr2) / (162d2) where P = received power (W) Pt = transmitted power (W) Gt = gain ratio of transmitting antenna relative to an isotropic radiator Gr = gain ratio of receiving antenna relative to an isotropic radiator = wavelength (m) d = distance between antennas (m) 4) Effective Radiated Power
ERP = G x Pi where G = gain of transmitting antenna relative to an isotropic radiator Pi = input power (W)
AM is not an efficient way to modulate - much of its power is wasted. At least 2/3 of the power is used by the carrier signal, while the remaining power is split between the two equal sidebands. Percent Modulation M = [(Ec - Et) / (2Ea)] x 100% or M = [(Ec - Et) / (Ec+Et)] x 100% where M = % Modulation Ec = crest amplitude of the modulated carrier Et = trough amplitude of the modulated carrier Ea = average amplitude of the modulated carrier Sideband Power Ps = M2Pc / 2 where Ps = sideband power of an AM carrier, W M = %Modulation Pc = carrier power, W Total Radiated Power Pt = Ps + Pc where Pt = total radiated power, W Ps = sideband power, W Pc = carrier power, W
The following equations apply to FM. Percent Modulation M = [f / D] x 100% where M = % Modulation f = change in frequency D = maximum frequency deviation, i.e., frequency deviation for 100% modulation Modulation Index Mi = fd / fa where Mi = modulation index fd = deviation frequency, kHz fa = modulating audio frequency, kHz
