Audio broadcasting (1915 to 1950s) 1919: First clear transmission of human speech, (on 9XM) after experiments with voice (1918) and music (1917). 1920: Regular wireless broadcasts for entertainment began in Argentina, pioneered by the group around Enrique Telémaco Susini. 1920: Spark-gap telegraphy stopped.
History of radio. The early history of radio is the history of technology that produces and uses radio instruments that use radio waves. Within the timeline of radio, many people contributed theory and inventions in what became radio. Radio development began as "wireless telegraphy". Later radio history increasingly involves matters of ...
Edwin Howard Armstrong(December 18, 1890[2]– February 1, 1954[3]) was an American electrical engineerand inventor who developed FM (frequency modulation) radio and the superheterodynereceiver system.
A French ship-to-shore radio station in 1904. The invention of radio communication was preceded by many decades of establishing theoretical underpinnings, discovery and experimental investigation of radio waves, and engineering and technical developments related to their transmission and detection. These developments allowed Guglielmo Marconi ...
An antenna farm hosting various radio antennas on Sandia Peak near Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States. Radio is the technology of communicating using radio waves. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 3 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are generated by an electronic device called a transmitter ...
e. Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity ...
Radio frequency. Radio frequency (RF) is the oscillation rate of an alternating electric current or voltage or of a magnetic, electric or electromagnetic field or mechanical system in the frequency [1] range from around 20 kHz to around 300 GHz. This is roughly between the upper limit of audio frequencies and the lower limit of infrared ...
In radio engineering, an antenna (American English) or aerial (British English) is an electronic device that converts an alternating electric current into radio waves (transmitting), or radio waves into an electric current (receiving). [1][2] It is the interface between radio waves propagating through space and electric currents moving in metal ...
