Radio technology utilizes radio waves, electromagnetic waves ranging from 3 Hz to 300 GHz, for communication. Transmitters generate these waves via antennas, while receivers with antennas capture them. Beyond communication, radio serves purposes like radar, navigation, remote control, and remote sensing, showcasing its versatile applications.
In December 1901, Guglielmo Marconi achieved a significant milestone by sending the first transatlantic radio signal.
In December 1901, Guglielmo Marconi successfully transmitted radio signals across the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1909, Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy.
Around 1910, the term 'wireless telegraphy' was used for different experimental systems. A need for a precise term exclusively referring to electromagnetic radiation arose.
By 1912, the United States Navy began to promote the use of radio instead of wireless telegraphy.
On November 2, 1920, Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company broadcast the Harding-Cox presidential election results under the call sign KDKA in Pittsburgh, marking the first commercial radio broadcast.
Around 1920, AM broadcasting began, marking the early stages of analog audio radio broadcasts.
Beginning in 2006, the current television standard, a digital format called high-definition television (HDTV), was introduced, transmitting pictures at a higher resolution.
