  • Radio is the radiation (wireless transmission)
    of electromagnetic energy through space.
  • The biggest use of radio waves is to carry
    information, such as sound, by systematically
    changing (modulating) some property of the
    radiated waves, such as their amplitude,
    frequency, phase, or pulse width.
  • Today, radio takes many forms which includes
    wireless networks as well as mobile
    communications of all kinds and also radio
    broadcasting.

INVENTION
  • Many people were involved in the invention of
    radio in its current form.
  • Experimental work on the connection
    between electricity and magnetism began around
    1820 with the work of Hans Christian and others.
  • These investigations culminated in a theory
    ofelectromagnetism developed by James Clerk
    Maxwell, which predicted the existence
    of electromagnetic waves.
  • Maxwell published A Treatise on Electricity and
    Magnetism in 1873, stimulating many people to
    experiment with wireless communication.
  • The first systematic and unequivocal
    transmission of EM waves was performed
    by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz and described in papers
    published in 1887 and 1890. Hertz famously
    considered these results as being of little
    practical value.
  • After Hertz's work many people were involved in
    further development of the electronic
    components and methods to improve the
    transmission and detection of electromagnetic
    waves.
  • Around the turn of the 20th century Guglielmo
    Marconi, developed the first apparatus for long
    distance radio communication.

  • On 23 December 1900, Reginald A. Fessenden
    became the first person to send audio (wireless
    telephony) by means of electromagnetic waves,
    successfully transmitting over a distance of
    about 1.6 kilometers, and six years later
    on Christmas Eve 1906 he became the first person
    to make a public radio broadcast.
  • By 1910 these various wireless systems had come
    to be referred to by the common name "radio".

ETYMOLOGY
  • The term "radio" is derived from the Latin
    word radius, meaning "spoke of a wheel, beam of
    light, ray".
  •  It was first applied to communications in 1881
    when, at the suggestion of French
    scientist Ernest Mercadier , Alexander Graham
    Bell adopted "radiophone" (meaning "radiated
    sound") as an alternate name for
    his photophone optical transmission system.
  • The first use of radio- in conjunction with
    electromagnetic radiation appears to have been by
    French physicist Édouard Branly, who in 1890
    developed a version of a coherer receiver he
    called a radio-conducteur.
  • The use of "radio" as a standalone word dates
    back to at least December 30, 1904, when
    instructions issued by the British Post Office
    for transmitting telegrams specified that "The
    word 'Radio'... is sent in the Service
    Instructions".

USES
  • Radio has also been developed with the
    development of technology.
  •  It is one of the best ways for commutation as
    well as entertains people. 
  • People can now also get radio play.
  • When we consider the uses of radio in early
    days, we can simply say that the early uses of
    radio were maritime, so as to send telegraphic
    messages through the use of Morse code between
    ships land. 
  • One of the other uses of radio in earlier days
    was to pass orders communications between
    armies navies.
  • The common uses of radio during earlier times
    were for communications and sending messages. 
  • Commercial radio broadcasts includes news,
    music, dramas, comedies, variety shows and
    different other forms of entertainment.

10
  • Now, many of the people use radio for listening
    music to know what are the latest songs and music
    groups.
  •  They can know about what the weather is for
    that day and other news thats happening around
    the world.
  • Digital radio, both satellite and terrestrial,
    provides improved audio clarity and volume.
  •  Long-range radio signals enable astronauts to
    communicate with the earth from the moon and
    carry information from space probes as
    they travel to distant planets (see space
    exploration). For navigation of ships and
    aircraft the radio range, radio compass (or
    direction finder), and radio time signals are
    widely used.

TYPES OF RADIO
  • All American Five
  • Audion receiver
  • Batteryless radio
  • Foxhole radio
  • Survival radio

12
  • Radios that combine transmitters and receivers
    are now widely used for communications. Police
    and military forces and various businesses
    commonly use such radios to maintain contact with
    dispersed individuals or groups. Citizens band
    (CB) radios, two-way radios operating at
    frequencies near 27 megahertz, most typically
    used in vehicles for communication while
    traveling, became popular in the 1970s. Cellular
    telephones, despite the name, are another popular
    form of radio used for communication.
  • In Radio, a prominent industry CEO has been
    tireless in his fight for FM Radio chips to be
    deployed on all smart phones to allow users the
    ability to connect to their stations, without
    having to use a data connection.
