What specific activities or situations these devices are

used?

Two-way radios are used by policemen, traffic

enforcers, and other civic organization personnel to
give updates on a specific situation such as traffic

Appendix B: Radio transmitter and Receiver Parts

RADIO TRANSMITTER

Power Supply – provides the necessary electrical power to operate the

transmitter.

Oscillator – creates alternating current at the frequency on which the transmitter

will transmit. The oscillator usually generates a sine wave, which is referred to as a
carrier wave.

Modulator – Adds useful information to the carrier wave. There are two main
ways to add this information.
1. Amplitude Modulation (AM) - makes slight increases
or decreases to the intensity of the carrier wave.

2. Frequency Modulation (FM) – makes slight increases

and decreases in the frequency of the carrier wave.

Amplifier – Amplifies the modulated carrier wave to increase its power. The more
powerful the amplifier, the more powerful the broadcast.

Antenna – converts the amplified signal to radio waves.

RADIO RECEIVER

Antenna – captures the radio waves. Typically, the antenna is simply a length of
wire. When this wire is exposed to radio waves, the waves induce a very small
alternating current in the antenna.

RF Amplifier – a sensitive amplifier that amplifies the very weak radio frequency
(RF) signal from the antenna so that the signal can be processed by the tuner.

Tuner – a circuit that can extract signals of a particular frequency from a mix of
signals of different frequencies.

Detector – responsible for separating the audio information from the carrier wave.

Audio amplifier – amplify the weak signal that comes from the detector so that it
can be heard.
