Introduction to Wireless Communications: Radio Frequency Transmission and Reception
Figure 1 below demonstrates how radio frequencies (RF) are transmitted as electromagnetic waves, enabling long-distance communication. A transmitter induces currents in an antenna. These signals are converted into radio waves. Receiving antennas capture these waves and convert them into electrical signals, which are used to reproduce audio, video, or other data.

This process allows for the seamless transmission of information over vast distances, making radio technology essential for various forms of communication, including broadcasting and wireless networking. The conversion of radio waves back into electrical signals is crucial for delivering content to end users.
