In classical physics, EMR is considered to be produced when charged particles are accelerated by forces acting on them. ( Source: Wikipedia)

EMR stands for Electromagnetic radiation.

The electromagnetic waves that compose electromagnetic radiation can be imagined as a self-propagating transverse oscillating wave of electric and magnetic fields. The two types of fields in EMR waves are always in phase with each other, and no matter how powerful, have a ratio of electric to magnetic intensity which is fixed and never varies.

EMR are produced as a result of electric and magnetic fields oscillating at right angles to each other and the combined wave moves in a direction perpendicular to both of the electric and magnetic field oscillations.

Why antenna is a sensor of EM waves?

The transmitter sends out EM waves. EM waves are a carrier of energy and are produced by oscillating charges - usually caused by connecting metal to AC power supply. The waves travel through a medium and transfers its energy to the antenna which is basically a metal rod. The energy causes charges in the metal to oscillate at a certain frequency, controlled at the transmitting end. The charges oscillate to produce corresponding EM waves which can be detected/read as signals and turned into sound energy etc...
