| Radio Wave |
The term, Radio, refers to a class of time-varying electromagnetic fields created by varying voltages and/or currents in certain physical sources. These sources may be man made, such as electrical power and electronic circuits, or natural, such as the atmosphere (lightning) and stars (sunspots). The electromagnetic field variations radiate outward from the source forming a pattern called a Radio Wave. Thus, a radio wave is a series of electromagnetic field variations traveling through space. Although, technically, any varying source of voltage or current produces a varying field near the source, here the term "radio wave" describes field variations that propagate a significant distance from the source.
Like sound, a radio wave can be described by its frequency and its amplitude. The frequency of a radio wave is the time rate of the field variations measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz equals 1 cycle-per-second. The radio spectrum, or range of frequencies, extends from a few Hertz through the Kilohertz (KHz) and Megahertz (MHz) ranges, to beyond the Gigahertz (GHz) range. The suffixes kHz, MHz, and GHz refer to thousands, millions, and billions of cycles-per-second respectively. |

| inSync's Did You Know: Wireless & TV Channels! |
| To avoid potential interference between broadcast television stations, regulatory agencies do not allow adjacent TV channel operation in a given geographic area, thus guaranteeing the existence of certain "unused" TV channels in that area. For example, in the US, if a locally active TV channel 9 exists, channels 8 and 10 will be vacant. These vacant channels can then be used by wireless microphone systems with little concern for television interference. Many manufacturers pre-select groups of wireless microphone system frequencies based on the availability of vacant TV channels. They also have information on TV channel distribution throughout the US. It is usually sufficient to indicate the destination of the wireless equipment at the time that it is specified in order to avoid broadcast television interference. |
