Breaking down and broadcasting any signal (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

analysing

'breaking down' is the definition.
('analyse' can be a synonym of 'break down')

'broadcasting any signal' is the wordplay.
'broadcasting' indicates an anagram.
'any'+'signal'='anysignal'
'anysignal' with letters rearranged gives 'ANALYSING'.

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for analysing that I've seen is " Examining component parts".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
