Page 1: Introduction to Radio
Radio
Transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves.
A transmitter radiates outward via an antenna.
A receiver picks up waves and translates them through the radio.
Utilizes specific frequency bands.
Page 2: Radio Modulation Techniques
AM (Amplitude Modulation)
The strength (amplitude) of the signal is changed (modulated) to produce sound.
FM (Frequency Modulation)
The speed (frequency) of the signal is adjusted or changed.
