1. INTRODUCTION:
History of Indian Radio is the history of radio broadcast that started in India
with the setting up of a private radio service in Chennai, in the year 1924.
In that same year, British government gave license to the Indian
Broadcasting Company, to launch Radio stations in Mumbai and Kolkata.
Later as the company became bankrupt, the government took possession of
the transmitters and began its operations as the Indian State Broadcasting
Corporation. In the year 1936, it was renamed All India Radio (AIR) and the
Department of Communications managed it entirely. After independence, All
India Radio was converted into a separate Department. All India Radio has
five regional headquarters in New Delhi, for the North Zone; in Kolkata, for
the East Zone; in Guwahati, for the North-East Zone, in Mumbai, for the
West Zone; and in Chennai, for the South Zone.
In the year 1957, All India Radio was renamed Akashvani, which is controlled
by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
AIR today has a network of 232 broadcasting centers 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. The
introduction of the commercial channel VividhBharti in October 1957
increased the interest and popularity of radio. 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 1933.

RECEIVING
Antennas 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 wave sound.
How radio electromagnetic waves are changed to radio wavesThe sound wave is equivalent to a pressure wave.

4. MICROPHONES
Microphone is a device which converts acoustical energy into electrical
energy. In the professional broadcasting field microphones have primarily to
be capable of giving the highest fidelity of reproduction over audio
bandwidth.
TYPES OF MICROPHONES

2. DYNAMIC MICROPHONE:
These are the kind of microphones that generate signals by a conductor
which is in magnetic field being in motion.
The majority of microphones that fall under the dynamic microphone
category have a light, very thin diaphragm that gets in motion responding to
the pressure of the sound it is exposed to.

3. RIBBON MICROPHONES:
A velocity microphone, which means that such usually respond to the
velocity of the air that is produced by the sound rather than the level of the
pressure caused by the sound which many other microphones respond to.

6. FM TRANSMITTER

Working of an FM Transmitter:
The L and R audio signals are converted into the stereo signals by a stereo
coder.
The stereo signals also called multiplexed signal, then frequency modulates
the VHF oscillator which is a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) of the phase
locked loop (PLL).the PLL is an automatic frequency control (AFC) system in
FM transmitter. In this arrangement, the phase of the VHF oscillator is
compared with that of a reference crystal oscillator operating at 10 MHz the
frequency of the reference oscillator is divided by 1/1000 with the help of
three decade counters in cascade

The radio frequency power developed in the final stage of a transmitter is
delivered through cables/feeders, without themselves consuming any power
to the transmitting antenna.
The main requirements of the antenna to be used for FM transmitters are:
