Differences between AM and FM

AM: Amplitude Modulation. In this technique, the amplitude or height of the carrier signal increases and decreases as the base signal changes. AM radio signals will travel great distances so a single transmitter can cover large areas.

 
FM: Frequency Modulation, where the frequency of the carrier signal increases and decreases to represent the change in voltage of the base signal. FM signals tend to offer better signal quality than AM but the range is far less, demanding multiple transmitters to cover the same area as one AM transmitter.

Genres

Drama – The Archers

Jingles – ASDA

Aviva Project: Wrappin' it up

Evaluation of The Project

I think this whole project started off on the wrong foot, People were arguing about the idea and there were disagreements about people not working on anything. But after a little while we started to sort things out and get back on task pretty quick, While it seemed that we wouldn't be able to get it finished on time to present to Aviva, We did, and we ended up being one of the finalists of our school. Whilst we didn't win, It was fun to just be able to go to London and meet the people we met.

My Strength's:

I Managed to catch up on time.
I'm confident on stage.

My Weaknesses:

I was behind for a lot of the Project.
I mess around alot.
I didn't really say much when we were presenting.
