    Radio broadcasting involves the transmission of audio signals through radio waves to reach a wide audience. There are two main types of signals: analog audio and digital audio. Analog audio encodes sound as continuous waves while digital audio encodes it using pulses. The main types of radio broadcasting are AM, which uses amplitude modulation, and FM, which uses frequency modulation. Radio broadcasting can also be commercial, non-commercial educational, public, or non-profit varieties like community radio or campus radio.

    RADIO BROADCASTING

    • Radio broadcasting is a one-


    way wireless transmission over radio
    waves intended to reach a wide audience.
    • Radio Signal types
    – Analog audio - (Greek, ana is "according to"
    and logos "relationship") is a technique used
    for the recording of analog signals which
    among many possibilities include audio
    frequency, analog audio and analog
    video information for later playback.
    – Digital audio refers to technology
    that records, stores, and reproduces sound by
    encoding an audio signal in digital form
    instead of analog form. Sound is passed
    through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC),
    and pulse-code modulation is typically used to
    encode it as a digital signal.
    Analog Wave
    Types of Radio Broadcasting
    • AM
    • FM
    AM
    • Amplitude Modulation
    • AM broadcasting is the process of radio
    broadcasting using amplitude modulation.
    AM was the first method of impressing
    sound on a radio signal and is still widely
    used today.
    FM
    • Frequency Modulation
    • FM broadcasting is a broadcasting technology
    pioneered by Edwin Howard Armstrong which
    uses frequency modulation (FM) to provide high-
    fidelity sound over broadcast radio. The term "FM band"
    describes the "frequency band in which FM is used for
    broadcasting". This term is slightly misleading, since it
    equates a modulation method with a range of
    frequencies.
    Subtypes of Radio
    Broadcasting
    • Commercial Broadcasting
    • Non-commercial educational
    • Public Broadcasting
    • Non-profit Varieties
    – Community radio
    – Campus Radio
    – Hospital Radio station
    Commercial Broadcasting
    • Commercial broadcasting (also called private
    broadcasting) is the broadcasting of television
    programs and radio programming by privately
    owned corporate media, as opposed to state
    sponsorship. It was the United States′ first model
    of radio (and later television) during the 1920s, in
    contrast with the public television model
    in Europe during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s
    which prevailed worldwide (except in the United
    States) until the 1980s.
    Non-Commercial
    Broadcasting
    • The term non-
    commercial educational (NCE) applies to
    a radio station or TV station that does not
    accept on air advertisements (TV ads or
    radio ads), as defined in the United
    States by the Federal Communications
    Commission (FCC). NCE stations do not
    pay broadcast license fees for their non-
    profit uses of the radio spectrum.
    Public Broadcasting
    • Public
    broadcasting includes radio, television an
    d other electronic media outlets whose
    primary mission is public service. Public
    broadcasters receive funding from diverse
    sources including license fees, individual
    contributions, public financing and
    commercial financing.
    Non-Profit Varieties
    • Community radio is a radio service
    offering a third model of
    radio broadcasting in addition to
    commercial and public broadcasting.
    Community stations serve geographic
    communities and communities of interest.
    They broadcast content that is popular and
    relevant to a local, specific audience but is
    often overlooked by commercial or mass-
    media broadcasters.
    • Campus radio (also known as college
    radio, university radio or student radio)
    is a type of radio station that is run by the
    students of a college, university or other
    educational institution. Programming may
    be exclusively by students, or may include
    programmers from the wider community in
    which the radio station is based.
    Pirate Radio
    • Pirate radio is illegal or non-
    regulated radio transmission. It is most
    commonly used to describe illegal broadcasting
    for entertainment or political purposes.
    Sometimes it is used for illegal two-way
    radio operation. Its history can be traced back to
    the unlicensed nature of the transmission, but
    historically there has been occasional use of sea
    vessels—fitting the most common perception of
    a pirate—as broadcasting bases.
    Satellite Radio
    • Satellite radio is a radio service broadcast
    from satellites primarily to cars, with the
    signal broadcast nationwide, across a
    much wider geographical area than
    terrestrial radio stations, while transmitting
    higher quality sound.
    Radio Call Sign
    • A call sign (also known as a call
    name or call letters—and historically as
    a call signal—or abbreviated as a call) is
    a unique designation for a transmitting
    station.
    • A call sign can be formally assigned by a
    government agency, informally adopted by
    individuals or organizations, or
    even cryptographically encoded to disguise
    a station's identity.
