Ikim FM 102.9MHz Bukit Penara RF analysis

Since December 2013, I had suggested Ikim FM Bukit Penara frequency before, on FM 102.9MHz.

Because Penang frequencies are limited, only 102.9MHz can be fitted for Ikim FM in Bukit Penara. The 102.9MHz RF analysis has to take care of Bukit Genting and Padang Pauh.

Here is the result of RF analysis of Ikim FM Bukit Penara (vs. 102.7MHz Bukit Genting):


Ikim FM 102.9MHz Bukit Penara has 200kHz with Ikim FM 102.7MHz Bukit Genting, no interference are detected, but has to analyze with Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh.

Case1: Bukit Penara 102.9MHz vs. Bukit Genting 102.7MHz

Result: PASSED

Case2: Bukit Penara 102.9MHz vs. Padang Pauh 102.9MHz

About the RF analysis of Case2, co-channel is founded, but the interference to Padang Pauh is depending on power and antenna pattern of Bukit Penara.

Power must be tested with minimum 0.5kW, 1kW and maximum 2kW.

102.9MHz Bukit Penara:

- 0.5kW
- 1kW
- 2kW 

Ikim FM 102.9MHz Bukit Penara mainly targets Georgetown, Seberang Perai, Bayan Lepas, Tanjung Bungah, and North Perak
