An information flow diagram (IFD) is a diagram that shows how information is communicated (or "flows") from a source to a receiver or target (e.g. A→C), through some medium. [1]: 36–39 The medium acts as a bridge, a means of transmitting the information. Examples of media include word of mouth, radio, email, etc.
Radiotelephony procedure. Radiotelephony procedure (also on-air protocol and voice procedure) includes various techniques used to clarify, simplify and standardize spoken communications over two-way radios, in use by the armed forces, in civil aviation, police and fire dispatching systems, citizens' band radio (CB), and amateur radio.
Signal strength and readability report. A signal strength and readability report is a standardized format for reporting the strength of the radio signal and the readability (quality) of the radiotelephone (voice) or radiotelegraph (Morse code) signal transmitted by another station as received at the reporting station's location and by their ...
RF planning. In the context of mobile radio communication systems, RF planning is the process of assigning frequencies, transmitter locations and parameters to a wireless communications system to evaluate coverage and capacity. Coverage is the distance at which the RF signal has sufficient strength to sustain a call/data session.
Outline of radio. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to radio: Radio – transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. [1] Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of ...
A trunked radio system is a two-way radio system that uses a control channel to automatically assign frequency channels to groups of user radios. In a traditional half-duplex land mobile radio system a group of users (a talkgroup) with mobile and portable two-way radios communicate over a single shared radio channel, with one user at a time ...
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 connected to an antenna which radiates oscillating electrical energy, often characterized as a wave.
In radio engineering, an antenna (American English) or aerial (British English) is an electronic device that converts an alternating electric current into radio waves, or radio waves into an electric current. [1][2] It is the interface between radio waves propagating through space and electric currents moving in metal conductors, used with a ...
