FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequency and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this,
FMbroadcastsgenerallybegintofade
at short distances from the station.
Also,FMsignalsareeasilyaffectedby
buildings,mountains,orotherobstruc-
tions. These can result in certain lis-
teningconditionswhichmightleadyou

AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
aroundyourcity. Theyareintercepted
by the radio antenna on your car. This
signalisthenreceivedbytheradioand
sent to your car speakers.
Whenastrongradiosignalhasreached
your vehicle, the precise engineering
of your audio system ensures high
qualityreproduction.However,insome
cases the signal coming to your ve-
hicle is not strong and clear. This can
be due to factors such as the distance
from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
AM broadcasts can be received at
greaterdistancesthanFMbroadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequency. These
long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather
than travelling straight out into the
atmosphere. In addition, they curve
around obstructions so that they can
provide better signal coverage.
