The FM Trap is used to reduce offending FM signals that can cause audio and video interference. Designed to attenuate the entire FM band and Average -26dB. It's a piece of hardware between the antenna and the preamplifier.
because high-index fm is too mainstream
it means take the antenna out of the power outlet, it won't work!
no
what is AM and FM AM normally refers to Amplitude Modulation while FM refers to Frequency Modulation. As the names suggest, in AM, the carrier wave is modulated by the amplitude of the input signal/waveform while in FM, it is based on the frequency. For further information on how exactly it's done, just run a search for Amplitude Modulation / Frequency Modulation and you should be able to find more detailed information about them.
An important aspect of analogue FM satellite systems is FM threshold effect. In FM systems where the signal level is well above noise received carrier-to-noise ratio and demodulated signal-to-noise ratio are related by: The expression however does not apply when the carrier-to-noise ratio decreases below a certain point. Below this critical point the signal-to-noise ratio decreases significantly. This is known as the FM threshold effect (FM threshold is usually defined as the carrier-to-noise ratio at which the demodulated signal-to-noise ratio fall 1 dB below the linear relationship given in Eqn 9. It generally is considered to occur at about 10 dB).
check your antenna connections.
You need to be more specific. Where is the FM antenna on what? The FM antenna at a radio staion could be on a mountain. FM is called line of site transmission. Meaning, it shoots a beam , or wave, in a staight line to your antenna on your car or house. So, FM can be heard even if you are going through a tunnel, provided there are no mountains to block the signal. It is also called Frequency Modulation. AM is Amplitude Modulation. It is bounced up and down between the atmospere and the ground, until it hits your antenna. So, AM can even be heard if mountains block your signal. It simply bounces over and on top of them to your antenna. Where is your car?
There are many online retailers one can buy an FM antenna from. They can be purchased from ebay, Amazon, Best Buy, C. Crane, Winegard and Antennacraft.
Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive. Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.
it is built into the back window
i think it does.
In the rear glass not In the windshield...
The antenna wire being unplugged from the antenna can cause this.
i think our head set acted as antenna..
I believe it is the same antenna for the AM in the real window above the heater elements.
1). If it's getting any FM stations, then the radio is OK.2). If it's getting the strong (nearby) stations but not the weak (far away) ones,then check the car's FM antenna, the connection between the antenna and thecable, the condition of the cable from the antenna to the radio, and the connectionbetween the cable and the radio.
The antenna or the cable between it and the radio probably has a short to the body of the van.
