The working distance depends a lot on the receiver that's being used to pick it up.

The Pioneer-11 spacecraft was launched in 1973. The last radio contact with it

occurred in 1995, when it was 4 billion milesfrom Earth. Communication might

have laster longer, but its on-board power source ran out of gas at that point.

The spacecraft transmitted just a few watts of radio power, at microwave

frequencies. But the antennas that were used to receive its signals are dishes

hundreds of feet across, with supercooled electronics.

How do wireless antennas share information?

they dont. An antenna is simply a piece of metal hooked to a device (normally a radio or a walkie-talkie). A receiver (for example, a radio) pick up electrical signals from the antenna, and a transmitter sends them to the antenna. They can be combined to form a transceiver which then sends and receives signals from the antenna.


How do radio antennas work to receive and transmit signals?

Radio antennas work by converting electrical signals into electromagnetic waves that can travel through the air. When a radio station transmits a signal, the antenna sends out electromagnetic waves. When a radio receiver picks up these waves, the antenna converts them back into electrical signals that can be processed and heard as sound. This process allows for the transmission and reception of radio signals over long distances.
