ALL radio communication ... whether AM. FM, microwave, TV, satellite, police, taxi, Bluetooth®,
cellphone, smartphone, analog, digital, ham radio, garage-door opener, GPS, space probe,
or WiFi ... works with one device sending out electromagnetic radiation and another one
detecting it. Many different frequencies are used for radio ... roughly anywhere from
20 thousand waves per second all the way up to 300 billion waves per second. The receiving
device picks out the one it wants by listening to only the correct frequency and ignoring
all others. But it has to do more than just recognize whether the one it expects to hear
is there. There has to be some way to add a good deal of information to the signal, otherwise
it's not too useful. The "information" is the voice, music, video picture, or stream of data that
the signal carries with it. There are several different ways to add that information to the radio
waves. The question asks about AM radio. 'AM' is one way to add information to the radio waves.
With AM, it's done by changing the 'amplitude' (strength, power, voltage, loudness) of the waves,
exactly in the form of the sound wave or other information you want to send. The receiving
device only has to capture the pattern of how the amplitude (power, loudness) is changing,
and it immediately has a copy of the sound wave.

Radio waves carry a blank from a station to your home?
The signal is transmitted by way of electromagnetic radiation, the same type of energy that, within the visible spectrum, makes up light. The signal can maintain an analog profile, or the signal can be transmitted digitally, but the energy form is the same. However it is transmitted, the radio converts the signal to sound by way of the speaker elements to your ear.

What does a radio transform waves into?
Sound.More informationAfter a modulated carrier signal has been received through the radio's aerial, the radio de-modulates it to release the live sound as picked-up from microphones in the radio studio (or was taken from recordings), which was then used to modulate the carrier signal at the transmitter.De-modulation that is done by a radio receiver can be described very simply as "removing the carrier signal to produce the sound".

How is a radio signal transmitted and received?
A broadcasting radio station has to generate and transmit (send out) carrier signals from its transmitters. A carrier signal has to be used because it is impractical to send out sound waves of energy over the very long distances used for radio broadcasting. If, for example, a station broadcasts on a radio frequency of 455 kHz, before it is transmitted by the station's radio transmitters, that carrier signal first has to be modulated with the sounds coming from the station's studio. The modulation method used can be either amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM) or digital (DAB). DAB is short for "digital audio broadcasting". At the radio receivers used by the station's listeners, the modulated carrier signal is received through their aerials and then has to be de-modulated to release the studio sound. De-modulation can be described very simply as "removing the carrier signal to produce the sound". That sound then has to be amplified so that it can be listened-to using loudspeakers or headphones. The actual carrier frequencies used by a particular station have to be varied: 1) to suit their transmitters' locations 2) to suit the areas to be covered by that station's broadcasts and 3) to avoid causing interference with other radio stations. In every country there is a government agency which controls the particular frequencies which can be used by each station that broadcasts in that country. The fair use of all the frequencies available for broadcasting worldwide is co-ordinated and administered by part of the United Nations organisation - the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) - and its members are representatives from all countries worldwide.
Which type of security threat uses a low-power radio signal to cut off communication from a cell phone to a base station?
JammingAnswer Explanation: A jammer can be used to cut off the communication between a cell phone and a base station. Cell phones use radio signals to transmit and receive calls through the air. Jamming is accomplished by confusing the cell phone into thinking that there is no base station available to service it.

What important role do the ions in the ionosphere play in making the use of technology possible?
They are being used by radio station to transmit signals from one station to another. Thanks to the property of ionized atmospheric gases to refract high frequency (HF, or shortwave) radio waves, the ionosphere can be utilized to "bounce" a transmitted signal down to ground
What is an AM transmitter?
Aplitude ModulationAn AM transmitter is a Amplitude Modulated transmitter where the amplitude of the Radio Frequency signal is modulated, usually used in the lower frequency bands where the frequency is to low for Frequency Modulation (FM), it was the first type of modulation used in radio communication FM was developed in the late 1950's and is not sensitive to static interference as AM AnswerAM is Amplitude Modulation that is the RF signals amplitude is modulated with the audio signal. this modulation is done because the audio signal being of low frequency cannot be transmitted to longer distance so the audio signal is amplitude modulated with RF signal and then transmitted into the air
