• AM Advantages
AM radio waves follow the curvature
of the earth, band around obstacles,
and are reflected by the ionosphere
to give good long range reception.
• FM Advantages
FM offers low noise, low distortion,
a wide dynamic range, and is
usually broadcast in stereo.
• FM Stereo
FM stereo radio signals travel
“piggyback” or in other words, two
separate signals are carried on the
same radio wave. FM Stereo radios
decode these signals to give stereo
separation.
