AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Soviet use of frequency modulation (FM) to jam amplitude modulation (AM) radio broadcasts in Estonia. The article highlights that while all broadcasts were AM, FM was preferred for jamming because it can effectively overpower the weaker AM signals without being easily detectable. The last sentence suggests that the modulation of the jamming signal is not visible on an oscillograph, implying that the jamming is subtle and difficult to identify. This method allows a single jammer to cover the necessary bandwidth, making it more efficient than using multiple fixed frequency transmitters. Overall, the choice of FM for jamming AM broadcasts was a strategic decision to maximize effectiveness while minimizing detection.

I found the following extremely interesting article about the jamming of pro-Western broadcasts in Estonia during the Soviet period: http://www.okupatsioon.ee/english/mailbox/radio/radio.html"

One part of the author's description I'm puzzled about: "Although all LW, MW, and SW broadcasts were always amplitude modulated (AM), amplitude modulation was not used for jamming, but rather frequency modulation (FM). And this, on such a narrow strip as is needed in a band for 1 station, that is, 9-10kHz. If the transmission bearing wave is viewed with an oscillograph, the modulation cannot even be observed, as if it didn’t exist."

I'm not sure I understand why FM was used to jam AM signals - and what the last sentence means exactly. Which transmission can the modulation not be observed on, the jamming signal or the incoming broadcast?

A jammer sends a stronger signal to overpower the weaker receiving signal. To be more effective, you have to cover the entire bandwidth of the signal to be jammed. That would require many fixed frequency transmitters. But instead, one jammer can be used with varying frequency.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
