Radio Communication
Purpose:
transmission of data from 1 place to another through air without wires
How it Works?
Transmitter: Consists of modulator that constructs waveform before transmission
Channel: Particular range of frequency spectrum through which communication
occurs
Receiver: Consists of Demodulator that recovers message from received signal
History?
1887: Hertz demonstrated waves carrying energy could be transmitted through
air
1895: Guglilmo Marconi successfully sent and received radio signal in Italy
Sound to Electrical Signal Conversion
 Audio Information Broadcastig
 Sound transmitted 1st converted into
varying electrical current with microphone
 Microphone:
 device for the pick up and conversion of
sound waves into electrical signal
 1. sound waves created by voice carry
energy towards microphone
 2. Sound waves hit diaphragm and forces it
forwards and backwards
 3. Coil attached to diaphragm forced
forward and backward at the same time
 4. The amount of magnetic field cut by coil
changes
 5. According to Faraday’s Law of EM
Induction Electrical current forms in the coil
 6. Sound has been converted into signal in
the form of electrical current
Fig1: Diagram shows how sound converted into electrical
signal using microphone using piezoelectric technique.
What is Modulation?
 Modulation:
 signal to be broadcasted is
combined with the carrier wave
 Carrier Wave:
 Radio wave required to send
electrical signal obtained from
microphone over air
 Also Known as RF Wave
 Properties:
 Very high frequency
 Higher Frequency than microphone
information signal
 Produced from Transistorised
Oscillator
 Main Types of Modulation: FM, AM
Transmitter and Receiver Antenna
 Transmitter:
 Radio waves are radiated from
transmitter
 Radio waves are produced by electronic
circuit called High Frequency Oscillator
 Receiver:
 Carrier wave is picked up by the antenna
of the receiver
 Radio waves are detected by resonator
circuit in receiver antenna which
resonates only at the same frequency of
radio wave being broadcasted and
 Designed to limit the effects of noise on
the recovered information
Fig1: Types of radio wave propagation methods and
antennas used for transmitting and receiving radio waves
What is Demodulation?
 Demodulation
 is the process by which audio information is separated from the modulated carrier wave
 Demodulator :
 Electronic circuit used to recover the information from the modulated carrier wave
 When Audio signal passes through a suitable speaker the original sound is
produced.

signal

Editor's Notes

  1. Radio broadcasting has made huge impact on our lives broadcasting is used in mobile phone voice communication Radio broadcasting was first successfully achieved by Tesla Radio broadcasting has 4 main stages: Transmission, Filtering, Demodulation Radio broadcasting first worked with analag data Recent developments have allowed
