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.
