The document discusses the facilities and operations of All India Radio Shimla. It describes the studio setup including different studios like playback, drama, talk, and music. It discusses the studio chain and audio types. It also covers the medium wave, short wave, and FM transmitters used as well as modulation types. Satellite communication through the captive earth station is described. Finally, it briefly discusses the relay stations of AIR Kullu, AIR Kalpa, and AIR Kasauli.

INTRODUCTION
RELAY STATION
3. • RADIO BROADCASTING is a media of mass communication.
• ALL INDIA RADIO, SHIMLA have started functioning on 16th
june 1955.
• Two channel broadcasting station:
Primary Channel (Medium Wave, Short wave)
FM Channel
• Frequency of PC MW: 774 KHz
SW: 6020 KHz(49.83M) Day Time
4860 KHz(61.73M) Night Time
• Frequency of FM 103.7 MHz
• Main language cast Hindi
5. Acoustic Treatment
Acoustic is the science of sound. Following
things should be kept in mind for the
construction of studios:
Height of studio:4.2mtr
Thickness of wall:34cms
Sound proof door. .
Diffusers are used.
No pillar and column.
6. STUDIO CHAIN: How the data transfer takes place
Generation of program
in studios
Control Room
Transmitter
Processing of signal Signal is
transmitted
10. Studio Transmitter link(STL)
It provide microwave wireless link
between studio and Transmitter to
transfer audio from studio to
transmitter
Presently STL is used for MW &SW
Transmitter
STL frequency: 1440MHz
12. Studio Transmitter Link (STL) system consists
of :-
•Transmitting system (STL-TX).
• Receiving system (STL-RX).
• Low loss cable that connects the STL TX/RX
to the 2 metre dia. antenna.
• Microwave dish antenna mounted on a 50 m or
more height of self-supporting tower.
• + 24 volt DC power supply.
13. CES
• Utilize to uplink its radio
programs for distribution in
networks through satellite.
• Transmit chain in C-Band while
receive band is C- Band and S-
band,
• Digital carrier undergoes QPSK
modulation of digital audio.
18. Medium wave propagates along the surface of
the earth.
Short wave propagates as sky wave.
FM propagates as direct wave.
19. In electronics and
telecommunication, modulation is the
process of varying one or more properties of
a high–frequency periodic waveform,called
the carrier signal.

22. The new generation FM
transmitters in the AIR netwo
can be classified according t
their output powers as follow
3 kW FM Transmitter
2x3 kW FM Transmitter
2x5 kW FM Transmitter( in AIR SHIMLA)
24. Pole Type
