3. Introduction
1 .Radio is the radiation of electromagnetic
signals through the atmosphere or free space.
2. The transmission and reception of
electromagnetic waves of radio frequency,
especially those carrying sound messages.
5. History
** In 1873 James Clerk Maxwell showed mathematically
that electromagnetic waves could propagate through free
space.
** The first intentional transmission of a signal by means
of electromagnetic waves was performed in an experiment
by David Edward Hughes around 1880.
** In 1888 Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was able to prove
transmitted electromagnetic waves in an experiment
confirming Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism.
6. History
** Nikola Tesla experimentally demonstrated the
transmission and radiation of radio frequency energy in
1892 .
** 1895, Marconi built a wireless system capable of
transmitting signals at long distances (1.5 mi. / 2.4 km).
** From Marconi's experiments, the phenomenon that
transmission range is proportional to the square of antenna
height is known as "Marconi's law".
7. Classification of radio waves
Class
1 .Very Low Frequency
2.Low frequency
3. Medium frequency
4.High frequency
5.Very high frequency
6.Ultra high frequency
7.Super high frequency
Frequency Range
10 to 30 kHz
30 to 300 kHz
300 to 3000 kHz
3 to 30 MHz
30 to 300 MHz
300 to 3000 MHz
3000 to 30000 MHz
18. Uses of radio waves
Here are some common uses
1 . Wireless technology
2. Mobile telephone communication
3 .television
4 .Radar
5 .radio waves in space
6 .WiFi
And many ,many Others

25. Advantages
It’s also a cheap form of communication and it travels
through the air so no wires are needed.
Radio communication can be possible where any
satellite and cell phone service are not available.
26. Disadvantages
It has low frequency so it can't transmit a lot of data
one time.
In this communication system we can’t transfer video
or picture only voice signal can be transferred.
27. Future Technology for Radio
Communication
Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive radios have the ability to monitor, sense, and
detect the conditions of their operating environment.
A cognitive radio is an intelligent radio that can be
programmed and configured dynamically. Its
transceiver is designed to use the best wireless
channels .
28. Conclusion
The radio communications has been used over a
hundred years now.
The uses of radio communication increasing day by
day & its being used by a wide range of electronic
sector.
This technology is upgrading to give us better
satisfaction
