  2. AM broadcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_broadcasting

    AM broadcasting is radio broadcasting using amplitude modulation (AM) transmissions. It was the first method developed for making audio radio transmissions, and is still used worldwide, primarily for medium wave (also known as "AM band") transmissions, but also on the longwave and shortwave radio bands.

  3. Amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_modulation

    Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave.In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal, such as an audio signal.

  4. List of amateur radio modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amateur_radio_modes

    Most amateur digital modes are transmitted by inserting audio into the microphone input of a radio and using an analog scheme, such as amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or single-sideband modulation (SSB). Amateur teleprinting over radio (AMTOR) D-STAR (Digital Data) a high speed (128 kbit/s), data-only mode.

    Also AM radio or AM. Used interchangeably with kilohertz (kHz) and medium wave. A modulation technique used in electronic communication where the amplitude (signal strength) of the wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal. Developed in the early 1900s, this technique is most commonly used for transmitting an audio signal via a radio wave measured in kilohertz (kHz). See AM ...

  6. Medium wave - Wikipedia

    Typical mast radiator of a commercial medium wave AM broadcasting station, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, U.S. Medium wave (MW) is a part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM radio broadcasting. The spectrum provides about 120 channels with more limited sound quality than FM stations on the FM broadcast band. During the ...

  8. Broadcast band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_band

    amplitude modulation (AM) medium frequency (MF) Usually speech and news, where a lower bandwidth will suffice; long range at night due to the ionosphere increasing in altitude Shortwave: Multiple; see Shortwave bands: Mostly AM and single-sideband (SSB) modes high frequency (HF) Very long range through "skipping".

  9. Radio broadcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_broadcasting

    Radio broadcasting is the broadcasting of audio (sound), sometimes with related metadata, by radio waves to radio receivers belonging to a public audience. In terrestrial radio broadcasting the radio waves are broadcast by a land-based radio station, while in satellite radio the radio waves are broadcast by a satellite in Earth orbit.
