Frequency modulation (FM) has been a cornerstone in communication technologies since its inception. Initially developed for radio broadcasting, FM has evolved to serve various applications, including television, two-way radios, and data transmission. The flexibility and resilience of FM against signal interference have made it a preferred method for clear and reliable communication (Bensky, 2019; Faruque, 2021). Over the years, the techniques and technologies underlying FM have seen significant advancements, enhancing its robustness and efficiency in diverse environments (Messaadi et al., 2019).
2.2 Techniques of Frequency
Modulation in News Propagation FM techniques in news propagation involve the manipulation of the carrier wave’s frequency to encode information. This method ensures that news broadcasts are less susceptible to static, and noise compared to amplitude modulation (AM). Advanced FM techniques, such as spread spectrum and adaptive modulation, have further enhanced the quality and reliability of urgent news propagation (Han et al., 2022). These techniques are particularly valuable in ensuring that critical information is disseminated quickly and clearly, even in challenging conditions (Hott et al., 2021).
2.3 Challenges in Urgent News
Dissemination Despite its advantages, FM faces challenges in the context of urgent news dissemination. Signal interference in urban environments with high electromagnetic interference can affect signal clarity (Ibraheemi, 2020). Latency issues can hinder the rapid dissemination of urgent news due to technical delays. Ensuring widespread coverage, particularly in remote areas, remains a significant challenge. Additionally, bandwidth constraints can restrict the volume of information transmitted, impacting the comprehensiveness of news coverage (Feng et al., 2022).
2.4 Theoretical Frameworks Several theoretical frameworks underpin the study of FM in news propagation. The Shannon-Weaver Model highlights the importance of minimizing noise and ensuring message clarity, relevant in optimizing FM techniques. The Diffusion of Innovations Theory explains how new technologies, like advanced FM techniques, are adopted and spread within societies (Hernando & Armada, 2023). Media Richness Theory suggests that the effectiveness of a communication medium depends on its ability to convey rich information, relevant for assessing FM’s capacity in urgent news propagation (Yuan et al., 2021).
2.5 Recent Research and Developments Recent studies have focused on enhancing FM techniques to improve urgent news dissemination. Bensky (2019) explored real-time data transmission using FM, highlighting advancements in signal processing that reduce latency and improve clarity. Han et al. (2022) examined emergency communication systems utilizing FM, emphasizing the role of adaptive modulation in overcoming signal interference. Ibraheemi (2020) investigated adaptive frequency modulation for urgent news, demonstrating its effectiveness in maintaining signal integrity under various conditions. These studies collectively underscore the transformative potential of advanced FM techniques in ensuring effective and reliable communication during emergencies.
