'''Radio''' is a technology that allows for the transmission of signals by [[modulation]] of [[electromagnetic radiation|electromagnetic waves]].
[[Category: Radio]]
==Radio waves==


Radio waves travel (propagate) through the air and the vacuum of space equally well, not requiring a medium of transport.

A radio wave is created whenever a [[electric charge|charged]] object [[accelerate]]s with a frequency that lies in the [[radio frequency]] (RF) portion of the [[electromagnetic spectrum]]. By contrast, other types of emissions which fall outside the RF range are [[gamma ray]]s, [[X-ray]]s, [[infrared]] & [[ultraviolet]] light, and light visible to humans.

When a radio wave passes a wire, it induces a moving electric charge (voltage) that can be transformed into audio or other signals that carry information.
Although the word 'radio' is used to describe this phenomenon, the transmissions which we know as [[television]], [[radio]], [[radar]], and cell phone are all in the class of radio frequency emissions.

==Discovery==

The theoretical basis of the propagation of electromagnetic waves was first described in [[1873]] by [[James Clerk Maxwell]] in his paper to the [[Royal Society]] ''A dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field'', which followed his work between [[1861]] and [[1865]].

It was [[Heinrich Rudolf Hertz]] who, between [[1886]] and [[1888]], first validated Maxwell's theory through experiment, demonstrating that radio radiation had all the properties of waves (now called Hertzian waves), and discovering that the electromagnetic equations could be reformulated into a partial differential equation called the [[wave equation]].

==Invention and history==
The identity of the original inventor of radio, at the time called [[wireless telegraphy]], is contentious. Claims have been made that [[Nathan Stubblefield]] invented radio before either Tesla or Marconi, but his device seems to have worked by [[Electromagnetic induction|induction]] transmission rather than radio transmission.

In [[1893]] in [[St. Louis]], [[Missouri]], [[Nikola Tesla]] made the first public demonstration of radio communication. Addressing the ''Franklin Institute in Philadelphia'' and the ''National Electric Light Association'', he described and demonstrated in detail the principles of radio communication. The apparatus that he used contained all the elements that were incorporated into radio systems before the development of the [[vacuum tube]].

In [[1894]] British physicist Sir [[Oliver Lodge]] demonstrated the possibility of signalling using radio waves using a detecting device called a ''coherer'', a tube filled with [[iron]] filings which had been invented by [[Temistocle Calzecchi-Onesti]] at Fermo in Italy in [[1884]]. [[Edouard Branly]] of France and [[Alexander Popov (physicist)|Alexander Popov]] of Russia later produced improved versions of the coherer. Popov, who developed a practical communication system based on the coherer, is often considered by his own countrymen to have been the inventor of radio.

In [[1896]] [[Guglielmo Marconi]] was awarded what is sometimes recognised as the world's first patent for radio with [[British]] [[Patent]] 12039, ''Improvements in transmitting electrical impulses and signals and in apparatus there-for''. In [[1897]] in the USA, some key developments in radio's early history were created and patented by Nikola Tesla. The US Patent Office reversed its decision in [[1904]], awarding Guglielmo Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly influenced by Marconi's financial backers in the States, who included [[Thomas Edison]] and [[Andrew Carnegie]]. Some believe to allow the US Government to avoid having to the pay royalties that were being claimed by the Nikola Tesla for use of his patents. In [[1909]] Marconi, with [[Karl Ferdinand Braun]], was also awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Physics]] for "contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy". However, [[Tesla patents|Tesla's patent]] (number ''645576'') was reinstated in [[1943]] by the US Supreme Court, shortly after his death. This decision was based on the fact that there was prior work existing before the establishment of Marconi's patent. Some believe it was apparently made for financial reasons, to allow the US Government to avoid having to the pay damages that were being claimed by the Marconi Company for use of its patents during [[World War I]] (ignoring the prior establish work).

Marconi opened the world's first "wireless" factory in Hall Street, [[Chelmsford, England]] in [[1898]], employing around 50 people. Around 1900, Tesla opens the [[Wardenclyffe Tower]] facility and advertises services. By 1903, the tower structure neared completion. Various theories exist on how Tesla intended to achieve the goals of this wireless system (reportedly, a 200 kW system). Wardenclyffe in operation may have allowed secure multichannel transceiving of information and may have allowed universal navigation, time synchronization, and a global location system.

The next great invention was the [[vacuum tube]] detector, invented by a team of [[Westinghouse]] engineers.

On [[Christmas Eve]], [[1906]], [[Reginald Fessenden]] (using his [[regenerative circuit|heterodyne principle]]) transmitted the first radio audio broadcast in history from [[Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock, Massachusetts|Brant Rock, Massachusetts]]. Ships at sea heard a broadcast that included Fessenden playing the song ''O Holy Night'' on the violin and reading a passage from the [[Bible]]. The world's first radio news programme was broadcast [[August 31]]st [[1920]] by station 8MK in [[Detroit, Michigan]]. The world's first regular wireless broadcasts for entertainment commenced in [[1922]] from the [[Guglielmo Marconi|Marconi]] Research Centre at [[Writtle]] near [[Chelmsford, England]], which was also the location of the world's first "wireless" factory.

Early radios ran the entire power of the transmitter through a carbon microphone. While some early radios used some type of amplification through electric current or battery, through the mid [[1920s]] the most common type of receiver was the [[Crystal set]]. In the 1920s, amplifying [[vacuum tube]]s revolutionized both [[radio receiver]]s and [[transmitter|radio transmitter]]s.

Developments in the [[20th century]]:

*Aircraft used commercial AM radio stations for navigation. This continued through the early [[1960s]] when VOR systems finally became widespread (though AM stations are still marked on United States aviation charts).
*In the early [[1930s]], [[single sideband]] and [[frequency modulation]] were invented by amateur radio operators. By the end of the decade, they were established commercial modes.
* Radio was used to transmit pictures visible as [[television]] as early as the 1920s. Standard analog transmissions started in North America and Europe in the 1940s.
*In 1960, [[Sony]] introduced the first [[transistor]]ized radio, small enough to fit in a vest pocket, and able to be powered by a small battery. It was durable, because there were no tubes to burn out. Over the next twenty years, transistors displaced tubes almost completely except for very high power, or very high frequency, uses.
*In 1963 color television was commercially transmitted, and the first (radio) [[communication satellite]], TELSTAR, was launched.
*In the late 1960s, the U.S. long-distance telephone network began to convert to a digital network, employing [[digital radio]]s for many of its links.
*In the 1970s, [[LORAN]] became the premier radio navigation system. Soon, the U.S. Navy experimented with [[satellite navigation]], culminating in the invention and launch of the [[GPS]] constellation in 1987.
*In the early 1990s, [[amateur radio]] experimenters began to use personal computers with audio cards to process radio signals. In 1994, the U.S. Army and [[DARPA]] launched an aggressive, successful project to construct a [[software radio]] that could become a different radio on the fly by changing software.
*Digital transmissions began to be applied to broadcasting in the late 1990s.

==Uses of radio==

Many of its early uses were naval, for sending [[Morse code]] messages between ships and land. Today, radio takes many forms, including [[wireless network]]s, [[mobile communication]]s of all types, as well as radio [[broadcasting]]. Read more about radio's [[History of radio|history]].

Before the advent of [[television]], commercial radio broadcasts included not only news and music, but dramas, comedies, variety shows, and many other forms of entertainment. Radio was unique among dramatic presentation that it used only sound. For more, see [[radio programming]].

There are a number of uses of radio:

* Audio
** [[AM broadcast radio]] sends music and voice in the Medium Frequency (MF -- 0.300MHz to 3MHz) radio spectrum. AM radio uses [[amplitude modulation]], in which louder sounds at the microphone causes wider fluctuations in the transmitter power while the transmitter frequency remains unchanged. Transmissions are affected by static because lightning and other sources of radio add their radio waves to the ones from the transmitter.
** [[FM broadcast radio]] sends music and voice, with higher fidelity than AM radio. In [[frequency modulation]], louder sounds at the microphone cause the transmitter frequency to fluctuate farther, the transmitter power stays constant. FM is transmitted in the Very High Frequency (VHF -- 30MHz to 300MHz) radio spectrum. FM requires more radio frequency space than AM and there are more frequencies available at higher frequencies, so there can be more stations, each sending more information. Another effect is that the shorter radio waves act more like light, travelling in straight lines that are not reflected back towards the Earth by the [[ionosphere]], resulting in a shorter effective reception range. FM receivers are subject to the [[capture effect]], which causes the radio to only receive the strongest signal when multiple signals appear on the same frequency. FM receivers are relatively immune to lightning and spark interference.
** FM Subcarrier services are secondary signals transmitted "piggyback" along with the main program. Special receivers are required to utilize these services. Analog channels may contain alternative programming, such as reading services for the blind, background music or stereo sound signals. In some extremely crowded metropolitan areas, the subchannel program might be an alternate foreign language radio program for various ethnic groups. Subcarriers can also transmit digital data, such as station identification, the current song's name, web addresses, or stock quotes. In some countries, FM radios automatically retune themselves to the same channel in a different district by using sub-bands.
** Aviation voice radios use [[VHF radio|VHF]] AM. AM is used so that multiple stations on the same channel can be received. (Use of FM would result in stronger stations blocking out reception of weaker stations due to FM's [[capture effect]]). Aircraft are often so high that their radios can see hundreds of miles, even though they are using VHF.
** Marine voice radios can use AM in the shortwave High Frequency (HF -- 3MHz to 30MHz) radio spectrum for very long ranges or [[VHF radio|narrowband FM in the VHF spectrum]] for much shorter ranges.
** Government, police, fire and commercial voice services use narrowband FM on special frequencies. Fidelity is sacrificed to use a smaller range of radio frequencies, usually five kilohertz of deviation (5 thousand cycles per second) for maximum pressure, rather than the 75 used by FM broadcasts and 25 used by TV sound.
** Civil and military HF (high frequency) voice services use [[shortwave]] radio to contact ships at sea, aircraft and isolated settlements. Most use [[single sideband]] voice (SSB), which uses less bandwidth than AM. SSB sounds like ducks quacking on an AM radio. Viewed as a graph of frequency versus power, an AM signal shows power where the frequencies of the voice add and subtract with the main radio frequency. SSB cuts the bandwidth in half by sacrificing the carrier and (usually) lower sideband. This also makes the transmitter about three times more powerful, because it doesn't need to transmit the unused carrier and sideband.
** TETRA, [[Terrestrial Trunked Radio]] is a digital cell phone system for military, police and ambulances.
** Commercial services such as [[XM Radio|XM]] and [[Sirius Satellite Radio|Sirius]] offer digital [[Satellite radio]].

* Telephony
**[[Cell phone]]s transmit to a local cell radio, which connects to the public service telephone network through an optic fiber or microwave radio. When the phone leaves the cell radio's area, the central computer switches the phone to a new cell. Cell phones originally used FM, but now most use various digital encodings.
** Satellite phones come in two types: [[Inmarsat|INMARSAT]] and [[Iridium (satellite)|Iridium]]. Both types provide world-wide coverage. INMARSAT uses geosynchronous satellites, with aimed high-gain antennas on the vehicles. Iridium provides cell phones, except the cells are satellites in orbit.

* Video
** [[Television]] sends the picture as AM, and the sound as FM, on the same radio signal.
** Digital television encodes three bits as eight strengths of AM signal. The bits are sent out-of-order to reduce the effect of bursts of radio noise. A [[Reed-Solomon error correction]] code lets the receiver detect and correct errors in the data. Although any data could be sent, the standard is to use [[MPEG-2]] for video, and five CD-quality (44.1 kHz) digital channels (center, left, right, left-back and right back). With all this, it takes only half the bandwidth of an analog TV signal because the video data is compressed.


* Navigation
** All [[satellite navigation]] systems use satellites with precision clocks. The satellite transmits its position, and the time of the transmission. The receiver listens to four satellites, and can figure its position as being on a line that is tangent to a spherical shell around each satellite, determined by the time-of-flight of the radio signals from the satellite. A computer in the receiver does the math.
** [[Loran]] systems also used time-of-flight radio signals, but from radio stations on the ground.
** [[VOR]] systems (used by aircraft), have two transmitters. A directional transmitter scans or spins it's signal like a lighthouse at a fixed rate. When the directional transmitter is facing north, an omnidirectional transmitter pulses. An aircraft can get readings from two VORs, and locate its position at the intersection of the two beams.
** Radio direction-finding is the oldest form of radio navigation. Before 1960 navigators used movable loop antennas to locate commercial AM stations near cities. In some cases they used marine radiolocation beacons, which share a range of frequencies just above AM radio with amateur radio operators.

* [[Radar]]
** Radar detects things at a distance by bouncing radio waves off them. The delay caused by the echo measures the distance. The direction of the beam determines the direction of the reflection. The polarization and frequency of the return can sense the type of surface.
** Navigational radars scan a wide area two to four times per minute. They use very short waves that reflect from earth and stone. They are common on commercial ships and long-distance commercial aircraft.
** General purpose radars generally use navigational radar frequencies, but modulate and polarize the pulse so the receiver can determine the type of surface of the reflector. The best general-purpose radars distinguish the rain of heavy storms, as well as land and vehicles. Some can superimpose sonar data and map data from [[GPS]] position.
** Search radars scan a wide area with pulses of short radio waves. They usually scan the area two to four times a minute. Sometimes search radars use the [[doppler effect]] to separate moving vehicles from clutter.
** Targeting radars use the same principle as search radar but scan a much smaller area far more often, usually several times a second or more.
** Weather radars resemble search radars, but use radio waves with circular polarization and a wavelength to reflect from water droplets. Some weather radar use the [[Doppler effect|doppler]] to measure wind speeds.

* Emergency services
** [[emergency position-indicating rescue beacon]]s (EPIRBs), [[emergency locating transmitter]]s or [[personal locator beacon]]s are small radio transmitters that satellites can use to locate a person or vehicle needing rescue. Their purpose is to help rescue people in the first day, when survival is most likely. There are several types, with widely-varying performance.

* Data ([[digital radio]])
** The oldest form of digital broadcast was spark gap [[telegraph]]y, used by pioneers such as Marconi. By pressing the key, the operator could send messages in [[morse code]] by energizing a rotating commutating spark gap. The rotating commutator produced a tone in the receiver, where a simple spark gap would produce a hiss, indistinguishable from static. Spark gap transmitters are now illegal, because their transmissions span several hundred megahertz. This is very wasteful of both radio frequencies and power.
** The next advance was continuous wave [[telegraph]]y, or CW, in which a pure radio frequency, produced by a [[vacuum tube]] [[electronic oscillator]] was switched on and off by a key. A receiver with a local oscillator would "heterodyne" with the pure radio frequency, creating a whistle-like audio tone. CW uses less than 100Hz of bandwidth. CW is still used, these days primarily by [[amateur radio]] operators (hams).
** [[radio teletype|Radio teletype]]s usually operate on short-wave (HF) and are much loved by the military because they create written information without a skilled operator. They send a bit as one of two tones. Groups of five or seven bits become a character printed by a teletype. From about 1925 to 1975, radio teletype was how most commercial messages were sent to less developed countries. These are still used by the military and weather services.
** Aircraft use a 1200 Baud radioteletype service over VHF to send their ID, altitude and position, and get gate and connecting-flight data.
** Microwave dishes on satellites, telephone exchanges and TV stations usually use [[quadrature amplitude modulation]] (QAM). QAM sends data by changing both the phase and the amplitude of the radio signal. Engineers like QAM because it packs the most bits into a radio signal. Usually the bits are sent in "frames" that repeat. A special bit pattern is used to locate the beginning of a frame.
** [[IEEE 802.11]], the radio network standard, has stations with [[digital tuner]]s. They start off by contacting a central control node, which tells the nodes about each other so they can communicate privately. Nodes move through many frequencies. They use a pseudo-random number generator to select the next frequency.
**[[Wi-Fi]]
**[[Bluetooth]]


* Heating
** [[Microwave oven]]s use intense radio waves to heat food. (Note: It is a common misconception that the radio waves are tuned to the resonant frequency of water molecules. The microwave frequencies used are actually about a factor of 10 below the resonant frequency.)

* Mechanical Force
** Tractor beams: Radio waves exert small electrostatic and magnetic forces. These are enough to perform station-keeping in microgravity environments.
** [[Spacecraft propulsion]]: Radiation pressure from intense radio waves has been proposed as a propulsion method for an interstellar probe called [[Starwisp]]. Since the waves are long, the probe could be a very light-weight metal mesh, and thus achieve higher accelerations than if it were a [[solar sail]].



* Other
** [[Amateur radio]] is an emergency and public-service radio service provided by enthusiasts who purchase or build their own equipment. It operates in a large number of narrow bands throughout the radio spectrum. Radio amateurs use all forms of encoding, including obsolete and experimental ones. Several forms of radio were pioneered by radio amateurs and later became commercially important, including FM, single-sideband AM, digital packet radio and satellite repeaters.
** Power transmission: A number of schemes have been proposed that transmit power using [[microwave]]s, and the technique has been demonstrated. These schemes include, for example, [[solar power]] stations in orbit beaming energy down to terrestrial users.
** [[Radio control|Radio remote control]]: Use of radio waves to transmit control data to a remote object as in some early forms of [[guided missile]], some early TV remotes and a range of model boats, [[Radio-controlled car|cars]] and aeroplanes.
