Module 10 - Powerpoint

This document discusses the electromagnetic spectrum and applications of radio waves. It begins with an overview of radio technology and how radio waves are used to transmit and receive signals. It then explains how audio information can be encoded in radio waves using amplitude modulation and frequency modulation. The document also covers standard frequency bands for AM radio, FM radio, and television broadcasting. Finally, it reviews metric prefixes like kilo, mega, and giga that are used to indicate multiples of basic radio wave frequency units.

MODULE 10

EM Spectrum: Production and


Application

WEEK 19: JANUARY 11-15,2021


ENGAGE
 LOOKING BACK
 Watch a short video about the
radio and telephone dated 1941.
Processing questions
What is the importance of radio
and telephone?
How does radio and telephone
work?
Compare today the features of the
old radio and telephone used in
1941.
EXPLAIN
RADIO
Radio is the technology of signaling
and communicating using radio waves.
RADIO WAVES
Radio waves are electromagnetic
waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz)
and 300 gigahertz (GHz). They are
generated by an electronic device called
a transmitter connected to
an antenna which radiates the waves, and
received by a radio receiver connected to
another antenna.
RADIO WAVES
Radio is very widely used in
modern technology, in radio
communication, radar, radio
navigation, remote control, remote
sensing, garage door openers,
alarm systems, cordless phones,
cellphone, robot, RFID, E-payment.

Heinrich Hertz discovered radio
waves in 1887, which provided a
precursor to most of the wireless
forms of communication in
today’s world
the longest wavelength in the
electromagnetic spectrum
first in the arrangement in terms
of frequency
commonly used in
communication, the transmission
and reception of radio waves rely
on oscillating charges
also used by astronomers to
gather additional information
about celestial objects and
various part of the universe
through the use o
METHODS OF SENDING AUDIO
INFORMATION IN RADIO WAVES
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Frequency Modulation (FM)
AMPLITUDE MODULATION – (AM)
radio broadcast uses the
bandwidth that ranges from 540
kHz to 1.6 MHz
FREQUENCY MODULATION – (FM)
broadcast at 88-108 MHz. Television
broadcasting happens at
frequencies that partially overlap
the FM bandwidth at 54- 890 MHz.
FM band is considered a region of
very high frequency (VHF) radio
waves
METRIC (SI) PREFIXES
A metric prefix is a unit prefix that
precedes a basic unit of measure
to indicate a multiple or
submultiple of the unit.
Wave frequency can be measured
by counting the number of crests or
compressions that pass the point in 1
second or other time period. The
higher the number is, the greater is
the frequency of the wave. The SI
unit for wave frequency is the hertz
(Hz), where 1 hertz equals
1 wave passing a fixed point in 1
second
Examples:
 5,000 waves = 5, 000 Hz
 10,000 waves = 10,000 Hz
3,000,000 waves = 3,000,000 Hz

Using the SI prefixes the number of


zeros will be indicate as exponent
and use the basic unit. Look at the
table of decimal multiple.
Examples:
AM frequency – 540 kHz to 1.6 MHz
540 kHz = k is for kilo with the
equivalent of 10³ meaning three
zeros ( 000 )
540 kHz = 540,000 kHz
1.6 MHz = M is for Mega
1.6 MHz = 1,600,000 MHz
FM frequency – 88-108 Mhz
88 Mhz = 88,000,000 MHz
108 MHz 108,000,000 MHz
EXAMPLES

567 PHz =
15 ZEROS
567,000,000,000,000,000
Examples
243000000000 waves = 243GHz (
9 zeros is equivalent to Giga )

45000000 waves = 45MHz ( 6


zeros is equivalent to Mega )
