  • @Scrogan
    @Scrogan Před 3 lety +1

    Neat video! But there’s more to radio than just AM and FM, there’s also phase modulation, which is arguably a special case of FM. Then there’s composite techniques, like quadrature amplitude modulation, which is used in high-tech radio protocols like wifi. The thought that FM carries more data than AM is mostly misguided, both have a data throughput proportional to their bandwidth (measured in Hz) and their signal to noise ratio, as per the Shannon-Hartley theorem. Same for noise immunity, to some extent. FM broadcasting stations are at higher frequencies than AM stations, and so they have a lot more bandwidth to put the same audio data through. If you crammed the same data in AM and FM channels of equal bandwidths (say, 44kHz), with the same SNR, you’d get similar levels of fidelity. Interference from lightning and such would effect both modulations, but in different ways. QAM, which is a form of AM, is used for higher speed wifi protocols, but when interference over a certain level is detected, I believe it switches to PSK, phase shift keying.
    If you’re interested in low power long range radio, look into LoRa.

  • @itsevilbert
    @itsevilbert Před 3 lety +1

    You left out phase modulation, but that is probably going one level too deep. It is mostly used for space comms. Because the amplitude modulation can suffer badly from noise, and the frequency can change a lot (Doppler shift), but phase modulation is effected less.

    Content is great, audio is great, the number one thing to improve is the video. For example the focus, mininmal colour grading and white balance, exposure (check how your face is exposed, often too bright or dark), and especially choice of lens. Usually the field of view is very wide, your face is hard to see at all. I have no doubt this will keep improving with more experience though!
