The modulated carrier wave is then sent to the amplifier. The amplifier increases the energy carried
by the wave. The amplified modulated carrier wave is then sent to the broadcast antenna. The
changing current in the antenna generates radio waves that travel into space.
What is modulated carrier wave? Why is modulation necessary? The electrical signals bearing the
information which describes sound cannot be transmitted by themselves. They must be carried by
the radio waves generated by the oscillator, hence, the name radio carrier wave. Transfer is done in
the modulation process.
Modulation is the process by which the carrier wave is changed or varied in relation to the original
sound’s loudness and pitch. Loudness and intensity are related to the amplitude of a wave; pitch is
related to frequency. Thus, the two basic ways of modulating radio waves are amplitude modulation
(AM) and frequency modulation (FM).
Frequency is the number of waves passing a point per unit time. Frequency modulation achieves the
same effect as amplitude modulation. But this time, the carrier wave has fixed amplitude. The
transmitted radio waves frequency varies with the sour4ce sound waves.
Variations in these parameters on the propagating waves are detected by the receiver, and so the
signal is reconstructed. Amplitude modulation is the simpler technique but frequency modulation is
less affected by interference and is therefore used when quality and accuracy of the information are
important.
Bandwidth
The amount of information in a signal determines the maximum frequencies that it contains. This is
called the bandwidth of the signal. Morse code sent by hand has a comparatively low bandwidth of
only a few hertz. To give an acceptable reproduction of speech, telephone signal needs bandwidth of
about 4000 Hz, while hi-hi music needs about 20000 Hz. Video signals however, which contain
information on the shape, color, and movement in a continuously changing scene often occupy a
bandwidth of more than 5 MHz. In radio transmission, stations are allocated different frequencies so
that a receiver can tune into a particular station and exclude all others. To avoid interference,
transmissions frequencies must be spaced apart at least by the bandwidth of the modulating signal.
We cannot hear radio waves. A receiver intercepts the waves given off by the transmitter and
transforms them into audible sounds.
Radio stations broadcast at different frequencies. The antenna of radio wave receivers, like that of a
radio set, picks up all frequencies. But the radio’s turner circuit selects the frequency received.
The turner circuit of a radio receiver consists of a coil of a wire called an inductor and a variable
capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor changes when the tuner knob is turned. A certain
combination of inductance and capacitance is related to the frequency of the received signals.
Radio waves from the transmitting antenna of all radio stations reach your radio and set up changing
currents in the radio antenna. When the radio is not properly tuned in, signals from more than one
radio stations are received.
A tuner circuits selects the frequency of the station desired. When the radio is properly tuned in, the
frequency of the tuning circuit resonates and therefore gives preference to the stations frequency.
Moving the tuner knob changes the resonant frequency of the tuner circuit and station heard.
At a certain antenna position, a properly tuned-in radio gives better reception. At this position the
antenna is perpendicular to the direction travel of the transmitted waves. This arises because radio
waves are transverse waves.
Introductory activity
Prayer
Checking of Attendance
Friendly reminders
Let the student sing the “Electromagnetic spectrum song” . After singing, divide the class
into four groups. The student will be given a metacards to write their learning insights
based on the video clip they had just watched. In the metacard, the group will have to
answer the following questions and present their output in a creative way.
Let the student sing the “Electromagnetic spectrum song ” . Then ask the following
questions:
1. What are the waves in the Electromagnetic spectrum?
2. How the EM waves arranged in the Electromagnetic spectrum?
3. What type of EM wave has the longest wavelength and lowest energy frequency?
4. What are some practical applications of radio waves?
