Wireless Microphone Licensing
Wireless microphones may operate on various frequencies, either licensed or unlicensed, depending on the country. United Kingdom In the UK, the use of wireless microphone systems requires a Wireless Telegraphy Act license, except for the license-free bands of 173.8–175.0 MHz and 863–865 MHz. These license-free bands are sometimes referred to as "Channel 70" (not to be confused with TV Channel 69, which operated on 854–862 MHz and always required a license from JFMG Ltd). However, licenses are no longer available for TV Channel 69. Arqiva acquired the PMSE band manager JFMG from ITV in February 2009. JFMG was contracted by the communications regulator Ofcom to provide spectrum management and licensing services for Programme Making and Special Events ( PMSE). However, in May 2015, Ofcom decided to terminate the contract with Arqiva and bring the existing services in-house. Channel 69 was replaced by Channel 38 (606 MHz to 614 MHz) as the UK mobile radio microphone ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Programme Making And Special Events
Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE) is a term used, typically in Europe, to denote equipment that is used to support broadcasting, Electronic news-gathering, news gathering, theater, theatrical productions and special events, such as culture events, concerts, sport events, conferences and trade fairs. In North America, the use of electromagnetic spectrum, spectrum to provide these services is usually called broadcast auxiliary service or BAS. Typical examples include theatrical wireless-microphone use, wireless-camera newsgathering operations and fixed point-to-point microwave links. The most significant PMSE users are those who use wireless microphones, talkback systems and/or in-ear monitors. These devices operate in various spectrum band (radio), bands. Traditionally, most PMSE equipment uses spectrum that is interleaved with other existing services. This is possible due to their low radiation, radiated Effective radiated power, power, thus making efficient use of the spe ...

Television Channel Frequencies
The following tables show the frequencies assigned to analog broadcast television channels in various regions of the world, along with the ITU letter designator for the transmission system used. The frequencies shown are for the channel limits and for the analog video and audio carriers. The channel itself usually occupies 6, 7 or 8 megahertz of bandwidth depending on the television transmission system in use. For example, North American channel 1 occupies the spectrum from 44 to 50 MHz. See Broadcast television systems for a table of signal characteristics, including bandwidth, by ITU letter designator. Analog television broadcasts have been phased out in most regions, having been replaced by digital television broadcasts. International normalization for analog TV systems International broadcasting television frequencies are divided in two part of the spectrum; the Very high frequency or "VHF" band and the Ultra high frequency or "UHF" band.

Studio-transmitter Link
A studio transmitter link (STL) sends a radio station's or television station's audio and video from the broadcast studio or origination facility to a radio transmitter, television transmitter or uplink facility in another location. This is accomplished through the use of terrestrial microwave links or by using fiber optic or other telecommunication connections to the transmitter site. Link This is often necessary because the best locations for an antenna are on top of a mountain, where a much shorter radio tower is required, but where locating a studio may be impractical. Even in flat regions, the center of the station's allowed coverage area may not be near the studio location or may lie within a populated area where a transmitter would be frowned upon by the community, so the antenna must be placed at a distance from the studio. Depending on the locations that must be connected, a station may choose either a point to point (PTP) link on another special radio frequency, or ...

Microphones
A microphone, colloquially called a mic (), or mike, is a transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal. Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, hearing aids, public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, sound recording, two-way radios, megaphones, and radio and television broadcasting. They are also used in computers and other electronic devices, such as mobile phones, for recording sounds, speech recognition, VoIP, and other purposes, such as ultrasonic sensors or knock sensors. Several types of microphone are used today, which employ different methods to convert the air pressure variations of a sound wave to an electrical signal. The most common are the dynamic microphone, which uses a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field; the condenser microphone, which uses the vibrating Diaphragm (acoustics), diaphragm as a capacitor plate; and the contact microphone, ...
