2、dio Regulations, states: “., their number (of frequencies) should be the minimum necessary to provide satisfactory reception of the particular programme in each of the areas for which it is intended ,”; C) that the WARC “2-87 recognized that the synchronization of transmitters is an accepted techniq

3、ue for improving the efficient use of the spectrum, recommends that, wherever possible, only one frequency should be used to radiate a particular progrme to a given 1. reception area; 2. that over certain paths, e.g. very long paths, those passing through the auroral zone, or paths over which the pr

4、opagation conditions are changing rapidly, it may be found necessary to use more than one frequency per programme; 3. that in certain special circumstances, namely: - where the depth of the required service area extending outwards from the transmitter is too great for it to be served by a single fre

6、frequency per progrCamme or synchronization could be used as appropriate; 4. that synchronized transmitters: - at the same site, driven by a common oscillator and modulated by the same progrme in the correct phase; at separate sites, driven by separate oscillators, the frequencies of which are preci

This conclusion is valid: - for non-overlapping coverage areas; - for overlapping coverage areas, provided th

The use of synchronized transmitters with overlapping coverage areas can lead to an improvement in the efficiency of spectrum utilization.
