Introduction to Wireless Communications: Radio Frequency Transmission and Reception
Figure 1 illustrates the transmission of radio frequencies (RF) as electromagnetic waves for long-distance communication. A transmitter generates currents in an antenna, converting them into radio waves that propagate away. Receiving antennas capture these waves and transform them into electrical signals, which 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.
