ISOFREQUENCY IN FM – The point of the situation

This subject excites the curiosity and interest of FM Broadcasting technicians and managers starting about forty years ago.
In my life, I have received more than a thousand times this simple question: “Does it work or does it not work?”
A minimally serious answer could require entire volumes and would bore or confuse everybody.

The only possibility for a simple and easy understandable answer is making a practical audio-video example, on the basis of what has been done to show the quality difference between an analog FM broadcasting in Mono and Stereo :

Since there are a myriad of parameters that can affect the results of the reception of two FM transmitter sites under conditions of: “Isofrequency YES – Isofrequency NO”, I chose to publish the qualitative comparison in this humble report : the most simple limit case (obviously there were a myriad of others with variable parameters) that was simulated in a laboratory session from the customer (Radio Maria)with equipment produced by Elenos :

A) Monophonic emission
B) Stationary reception
C) Same signal amplitude of the two transmitters at the receiver (Protection ratio = 0dB)
D) High signal at the receiver input (-50dBm)
E) Absence of interference from other signals
C) Contemporary arrival of the signals from the two transmitters to the receiver (Same time of arrival -TOA)
D) Equal index of modulation of the transmitters (Isomodulation)
E) Frequency difference between the transmitters: 0.1 Hz (360 ° every 10 seconds)
The test: “Isofrequency YES / Isofrequency NO” was performed by disconnecting one of the two transmitters at the 22nd second of the video (a few seconds before the end).

In particular pages 17-23 .

The video confirms the ITU thesis exposed at page 21 :

It may be noted that in the most favorable case (monophonic mode, 2 µs time delay) the protection ratio is very close to 0 dB using synchronized transmitters 

and that the equipment used in the tests achieve this result.

Below is the measurement setup adopted:
