J3E - Common and Important Examples

Common and Important Examples

N0N
Continuous, unmodulated carrier - as previously commonly used for radio direction finding (RDF) in marine and aeronautical navigation.
A1A
Signalling by keying the carrier directly (aka CW or OOK) - as currently used in amateur radio. This is often but not necessarily Morse code.
A2A
Signalling by keying a tone modulated onto a carrier so that it can easily be heard using an ordinary AM receiver - as used for station idents of some NDB transmissions. This is usually but not exclusively Morse code. (An example of modulated continuous wave)
A3E
AM speech communication - as used for aeronautical VHF communications
F3E
FM speech communication - as used for marine and many other VHF communications
J3E
SSB speech communication - as used on HF bands by marine, aeronautical and amateur users
A3E or A3EG
Normal AM broadcast - as found on public LF and MF bands
F1B
FSK telegraphy, such as RTTY.
F1C
HF Radiofax
F2D
Data transmission by frequency modulation of a radio frequency carrier with an audio frequency FSK subcarrier. Often called AFSK/FM.
J2B
PSK31 (BPSK31)
F8E or F8EH
Normal FM stereo broadcast - as found on public VHF band, and as the audio component of broadcast television transmissions
C3F or C3FN
Broadcast analogue television video signals (previously identified as A5C under the 1976 Radio Regulations)

Note that there is some overlap, so a signal might legitimately be described by two or more designators. In such cases, there is often a traditionally preferred designator.

Famous quotes containing the words common, important and/or examples:

    It is a common saying, and in everybody’s mouth, that life is but a sojourn.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
