A radio signal transmission can be used for several purposes. Firstly and most commonly it is used as a traditional medium for entertainment and information. With a radio receiver you can listen to music, news and other programs all around the world. Another use for a radio signal is communication. People communicate via radio as a hobby or for professional reasons. Taxi drivers, police and other governmental and non-governmental structures use radio for communication and organisational purposes.

What type of energy transformation does a radio signal have?

The radio signal itself, of course, is not an energy transformation - energy transformation means that energy is changed from one type to another. There is an energy transformation when the radio signal is created, and another one when it is absorbed.

How do you generate an oscillator signal?

An oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces an electronic wave or signal. The oscillator signal is the signal the oscillator puts out. An oscillator can put out different frequencies and different types of waves depending on how it is designed. These signals have many different uses in electronics. For instance you can use it to convert DC (direct current) from a battery to 60 Hz AC (alternating current) to use in a home. Some oscillators are variable like what you have in your radio or TV for picking up different signals or stations. To produce an oscillator signal: if you know a lot about electronics you can build your own from parts you can get at some place like Radio Shack. Otherwise you can buy an oscillator. Radio Shack might have one or you might have to look on line. You also have to know what kind of wave and frequency you need to be sure and get an oscillator that produces that signal. If the signal you need is unusual you may need a variable oscillator.

How is radio helpful in disaster management?

In a disaster, a radio may save your life. For one, you can hack the radio if you have the necessary skills to do so, in order to send out a signal rather than receive one. Another way is that you can use the information you receive from news channels to stay informed about the emergency situation, and know where to go if it happens. For instance, if there was a zombie apocalypse, you would use a radio to search for survivors, and if you heard a signal, and if that signal tells you where to go, listen to it. Zombies are not smart enough to work a radio station, so a signal like that is obviously not an ambush. Don't forget your crowbar!

Can I use my radio for satellite radio or do I need a special kind of radio for that?

Satellite radio requires a special receiver to receive the signal from the satellite. If you do not already have a satellite radio you may be able to install one with your installed radio if you have a open auxiliary jack, otherwise you will likely need to replace your radio.


What is propagation delay time?

It's the time it takes a radio signal to travel from one place to another, the time it takes a light beam to travel from one end of the fiberoptic cable to the other end, the time it takes an electrical signal to travel from one side of a circuit board to the other side, etc., things like that. If you're listening to the baseball game on the radio, it doesn't much matter how long it took the signal to reach you from the transmitting tower. But if the radio signal is being used to control a high-speed passenger train, or a drone aircraft on a counter-insurgency mission, or a robotic rover digging in the dirt on Mars, then the time it takes the radio signal to get there does make a difference.


Can you connect a two-way radio external speaker output to the stereo speakers so that it will override the stereo signal when you get a call?

Yes, absolutely you can. The difficulty is that the controller needed to do the job is not something that can be bought off the shelf. Here is one idea to make the system work: First, take the output from the communications radio and establish the signal characteristics. You may need an attenuator to reduce the voltage of the signal. Once the signal is at the right level, it will need to be connected to an input on the stereo. Additionally, a sensor that will detect an audio signal on the comms radio output or a sensor that detects a valid radio signal on the comms radio is needed. Use the sensor output to trigger a switch from the current input to the comms radio input on the stereo. As an alternative, the same sensor output can be used to switch the speaker signal from the stereo to the comms radio. You will need a separate amplifier to do this as well as a suitable signal switcher to select either of the two speaker signals. The solution is not particularly difficult for an engineer to produce but it is not a straightforward job either.
