About Radio
Radio is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and radio frequencies occupy the range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz of the spectrum. The radio waves travel through the atmosphere with various frequencies. The lower the frequency, the farther they travel. As the frequency increases, the waves might be interfered by external disturbances. The process of using radio waves to transmit data for commercial audience is known as radio broadcasting. It is a one-way wireless transmission. AM and FM are the major types of broadcast used by commercial radio stations. Different frequencies are used for different forms of radio broadcast. For instance, for national and international broadcasting long-wave and medium-wave bands, which are of low frequency, are used, and for local broadcasting high and ultra-high frequencies are used. The signal types can be either analog audio or digital audio. AM radios limit the audio band pass to 3-5 kHz, whereas FM is transmitted in the very high frequency range of 30-300 MHz of the radio spectrum.
