Activity No. 3
The Elements of Radio Communication
I. OBJECTIVE
To describe how radio waves are transmitted and received.

II. PROCEDURE
Use the words in the box to complete the following concept map.

loudspeaker broadcast antenna receiver antenna

demodulator amplifier microphone
tuner oscillator modulator

A. TRANSMITTER

Increases the energy of the

carrier waves and becomes

3. What is produced by the combined audio signal and carrier waves after reaching
the modulator?

_____________________________________________________________________________
4. What picked up the modulated carrier waves transmitted by the radio station?

_____________________________________________________________________________
5. What part of the radio receiver selects the frequency of the desired radio station?
