COMMUNICATION

The document discusses different types of radio communication, including how radio waves are used for aviation communication and navigation. It describes how radio waves are generated and transmitted via antennas at the transmitter, then travel through the air and are received by antennas at the receiver. It explains that radio waves can be reflected off the ionosphere to allow long-distance communication. The document also discusses how information such as voice data is modulated onto carrier radio waves to allow transmission of useful information.

COMMUNICATION

TYPES OF COMMUNICATION

• VERBAL

• NON VERBAL

• WRITTEN

• VISUAL
RADIO COMMUNICATION

Radio technology, transmission and detection of


communication signals consisting of electromagnetic waves
that travel through the air in a straight line or by reflection
from the ionosphere or from a communications satellite
RADIO COMMUNICATION

1)Electricity flowing into the transmitter antenna makes


electrons vibrate up and down it, producing radio waves.

2) The radio waves travel through the air at the speed of


light.

3) When the waves arrive at the receiver antenna, they


make electrons vibrate inside it
RADIO SIGNAL
RADIO WAVE PROPAGATION
• AVIATION COMMUNICATION AND NAVIGATION IS
ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE USE OF RADIO WAVES.

• COMMUNICATION BY RADIO WAS THE FIRST USE OF


RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSION IN AVIATION
RADIO WAVES

• RADIO WAVE IS INVISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE.

• IT IS ELECTROMAGNETIC IN NATURE. Eg: VISIBLE LIGHTS , X-RAYS ,


GAMA RAYS , ULTAVIOLET RAYS ,INFRARED WAVES AS WELL AS RADIO
WAVES. ATMOSPHERE IS FILLED WITH THESE WAVES.

• EACH WAVE HAS PATICULAR FREQUENCY AND WAVE LENGTH.

• HIGHER THE FREQUENCY LOWER THE WAVE LEGTH

• IN AVIATION VARIETY OF RADIOWAVES ARE USED.


LF – 100 kHZ TO SUPER HIGH FREQUENCY ( SF) 10gHZ
GENERATION OF RADIO WAVE

THE FREQUENCY OF AC SIGNAL IS THE NO. OF TIMES A C CYCLES


EVERY SECOND

A C APPLIED TO A CENTERE OF A RADIO ANTENNA,, A CONDUCTOR


HALF THE LENGTH OF THE AC FREQUENCY, TRAVELS THE LENGTH OF
THE ANTENNA, COLLAPSES , AND TRAVELS THE LENGTH OF THE
ANTENNA IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
RADIO WAVES RANGING FROM 3KHZ TO 3MHZ ARE KNOWN
AS SURFACE WAVES OR GROUND WAVES.THIS IS BECAUSE
THIS WAVE FOLLOWS THE CURVATURE OF THE EARTH ,
HENCE USED FOR LONG RANGE COMMUNICATION.

Eg: ADF NAVIGATION AND RADIO STATIONS


HF RADIO WAVES TRAVELS IN STRAIGHT LINES AND DO NOT
CURVE TO FOLLOW THE EARTH SURFACE.

HF RADIO WAVES BOUNCE OFF THE IONIOSPHERE OF THE LAYER


OF ATMOSPHERE.

THE FREQUECY RANGE IS 2 TO 25 MHZ.

THESE KIND OF RADIO WAVES ARE KNOWN AS SKY WAVES


ABOVE HF WAVES ARE KNOWN AS SPACE WAVES AND
THESE ARE ONLY CAPABLE OF LINE OF SIGHT
TRANSMISSION AND DO NOT REFRACT OFF THE
IONOSPHERE.

MOST AVIATION COMMUNICATION AND NAVIGATION


AIDS OPERATE WITH SPACE WAVES.

THIS INCLUDES VHF RADIO WAVES ( 30 TO 300MHZ )

UHF RADIO WAVES ( 300 MHZ TO 3 GHZ )

SHF RADIO WAVES( 3GHZ TO 30 GHZ )


LOADING INFORMATION ON RADIO
WAVE

THE BASIC RADIO WAVES DISCUSSED ABOVE ARE KNOWN AS


CARRIER WAVES.
THE PRODUCTION AND BROADCAST OF RADIO WAVES DOES NOT CARRY ANY USEFUL INFORMATION

TO TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE USEFUL INFORMATION , THIS WAVE IS ALTERED OR MODULATED BY


ANINFORMATION SIGNAL

THIS INFORMATION SIGNAL CONTAINS VOICE OR DATA INFORMATION DESIRED TO BE CONVEYED.

THE MODULATED CARRIER WAVE THEN CARRIES THE INFORMATION FROM THE TRANSMITTING RADIO TO THE
RECEIVING RADIO VIA THE
HOW DOES HF SYSTEM WORKS

High Frequency radio waves vibrate between 3 and


30 megahertz. ... HF waves can refract off the earth's
ionosphere (a layer of charged particles in the
atmosphere) and redirect to a desired location on the
ground. In this way, short wave radio signals can be
targeted to a geographical region.
TRANSCIEVERS
TANSCIEVER IS A COMMUNICATION RADIO THAT TRANSMITS AND
RECIEVES RADIO SIGNAL

THE SAME FREQUENCY IS USED FOR BOTH

WHEN TRANSMITTING , RECEIVER DOES NOT FUNCTION.

THE PTT SWITCH BLOCKS


THE RECIVER CHANNEL.
ANTENNAS

ANTENNAS ARE CONDUCTORS THAT TRANSMIT AND


RECEIVE RADIO WAVES.

WHEN AC SIGNAL IS APPLIED TO AN ANENNA, IT HAS


CERTAIN FREQUENCY. THERE IS A CORRESPONDING
WAVELENGTH FOR THAT FREQUENCY.

WHEN ANTENNA THAT IS HALF THE LENGTH OF THAT


WAVE LENGTH , IT IS RESONANT.

HF- Communication High frequency (HF) is the ITU-designated range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio
waves) between 3 and 30 MHz.

It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as the wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten
to one hundred metres). The HF band is a major part of the shortwave band of frequencies, so communication at
these frequencies is often called shortwave radio. Radio waves in this band can be reflected back to Earth by the
ionosphere layer in the atmosphere, called "skip" or skywave propagation, these frequencies can be used for long
distance communication, at intercontinental distances. The band is used by international shortwave broadcasting
stations (2.310 - 25.820 MHz), aviation communication, government time stations, weather stations, amateur radio
and citizens band services, among other uses.
