A concert will be | coming in strong and clear, and then suddenly for no apparent reason at all, will begin to fade away, getting much weaker than the original strength. Perhaps it will only fade slightly, and then come back in again; often, however, it wil. become inaudible, and it may be a full min- ute or two-before the music will come back. Fading is still more or less of a mystery to the radio world. Many believe it to be due to changes in air pressure between the transmit- ting station and the receiver; the presence of clouds is blamed, but no definite cause of fading has yet been found. Also, we have no cure for it. There is, however, another effect which is very often--in fact practi- cally always--confused with fading. This is what is known as "swing- ing," and to a large extent it is cur- able, Perhaps you have noticed some- time while you were listéning in that a station will suddenly disappear, but that by tuning up or down slightly you can pick it up again. Hardly have you settled on it, however, be- fore it has shifted again, and this may keep up all evening. This is what we call "swinging," and is usually due to high winds causing swinging of the antenna at either the transmitter, or receiver, or both, this swinging of the antenna FIG 2 Fading vs. "Swinging. " producing changes in the wave- length of the transmitted, or re- ceived signal. To understand this, let us consider Figs 1 and 2. In Fig. 1 we show how a set is connected to the anten- na and ground. The effect of these two is that of two plates of a con- denser, so in Fig. 2 we have repre- sented the antenna-ground system as a big condenser. { Now- the effect of this condenser | is to combine with the tuning coil to | tune the system to a certain wave-! length. Therefore, it is quite easy | tc see that if the antenna "A should swing, so that it would come closer | to the earth "B" and assume a posi- | tion shown by the dotted iine *'C," | i* would change the gap between the two "plates" of the condenser, and ! thereby change the capacity. This change in capacity would have the! effect of changing the wavelength of | the whole set, particularly if the set | is a single-circuit, where the tube is' connected right into this antenna] if 'condenser' circuit. Naturally, if you were tured to a certain wave, | and your antenna swung in the wind, thereby changing the wave, you would lose the signal. There are several cures, In trans- mitters, they can use '""master oscil- | lator" sets, which are independent of | antenna conditions, and therefore do | rot 'respond to changes in capacity | due to swinging wires, In receivers | we can lessen the effect by using] loose-coupled tuners. In both cases, | we can guy the antenna as with wires | "F" in Fig. 3, to, as far as possible, | jeer the aerial from swinging in the wind. 2 MAI i ---- { RADIO BROADCASTING | naan i a a The following is a selection from the radio progremmes which will be on the air on Friday.
