VHF vs UHF Head to Head
Dua Frekuensi ini sangat popular di gunakan di dalam dunia
radio amatur serta radio dua hala (walkie-talkie).
Kebanyakan orang menganggap teknologi UHF mempunyai kelebihan jika dibandingkan dengan VHF.
Tetapi sangkaan ini adalah tidak tepat kerana perbezaan yang ketara di antara
VHF dan UHV adalah dari segi band frekuensi
nya sahaja. Teknologi, prinsip dan teori asas pengoperasian bagi kedua-duanya
sama sahaja. Jadi, apakah perbezaan
antara keduanya?
Bil
|
VHF
|
UHF
|
1
|
Bermaksud Very High Frequency
|
Bermaksud Ultra High Frequency
|
2
|
Frekuensi bermula dari 30MHz sehingga 300Mhz
|
Frekuensi bermula dari 300MHz sehingga 1000 Mhz
|
3
|
Digunakan di dalam penyiaran radio dan TV, Radio kecemasan, penggunaan komunikasi
ketenteraan, komunikasi trafik udara,
radio amatur
|
Digunakan di dalam penyiaraan TV (Digital), komunikasi satelit,
telefon bimbit, telefon tanpa wayar
|

Bentuk frekuensi :

|
Disebabkan gelombang frekuensi adalah panjang, jarak penerimaan
adalah jauh. Ia nya sangat popular di kalangan radio amatur.
|
Disebabkan gelombang frekuensi pendek, jarak penerimaan adalah pendek. Ini menyebabkan
ianya tidak sesuai dengan penyiaraan radio & televisyen kerana kos yang
sangat tinggi untuk penyediaan peralatan.
|
6
|
Sungguh pun jarak penerimaan yang jauh, ianya tidak effisen di
kawasan yang mempunyai kepadatan yang tinggi seperti kawasan bandar, kompleks
membeli belah, kawasan hutan kerana gelombang frekuensi sukar untuk menembusi
bahan-bahan pejal dan padat
|
Ianya sangat sesuai digunakan didalam kawasan kepadatan tinggi
seperti di pusat membeli belah kerana gelombang frekuensi dapat menembusi
bahan2 pejal seperti konkrit, besi, dinding tebal.
|
7
|
Pengunaan antena yang lebih panjang. Secara teori, lebih panjang
pengunaan antena adalah lebih baik
|
Penggunaan antena yang pendek dan secara teori lebih pendek antena
adalah lebih baik.
|
8
|
Berbanding UHF, peralatan VHF agak murah kerana kuasa untuk
memancarkan transmisi VHF sedikit. In berbalik kepada teori asas gelombang
frekuensi VHF yang rendah.
|
Peralatan UHF agak tinggi berbanding VHF kerana pemancaraan transmisi
memerlukan kuasa yang tinggi.
|
P/S: Peralatan walkie
talkie adalah dinamik kerana ianya boleh memancarkan gelombang VHF mahupun UHF mengikut keperluan, tetapi hanya
satu frekuensi boleh di pancarkan pada satu masa. Sesetengah walkie talkie
model mempunyai dual mode dimana ianya boleh memancarkan kedua2 frekuensi.

Bitcoin - Internet Currency
If Internet is a nation, how it can keep up and generate its own economy without the basic thing, which is $$$? This video explain a very fascinating invention on internet currency that have been existing for few years. Some country have implemented and accept BitCoin as valid money for business transactions.
Some people may skeptical about safety and security which i leave it on the debate, but the marvel engineering behind the design blow our mind a away. I wonder how smart these people are that can create such a state of the art invention.
p/s: Walkie Talkie is not a currency, it hold no value for bargaining. But value on communication is priceless....
The Invention of Loneliness
Sejauh manakah kita merasa media sosial memainkan peranan dalam kehidupan kita seharian? Adakah media sosial jawapan kepada permasalahan yang berlaku di kalangan mereka yang pendiam, pasif dan yang kurang berkawan? Adakah media sosial merapatkan jurang komunikasi antara satu individu dengan individu yang lain?
Realiti sebenarnya bukan lah seperti apa yang anda gambarkan.
P/S: Walkie Talkie juga boleh merapatkan jurang komunikasi antara satu sama lain.. ^_^
