Glossary of Terms in Walkie-Talkie Signal Transmission

By TalkPro

Discover the key concepts behind walkie-talkie communication, focusing on the processes of signal transmission and reception.

Modulation

The process of encoding audio signals onto a carrier wave for transmission.

The action of sending out the carrier wave, which is amplified and broadcast through the air.

Transmission

Antennas

Devices that convert electrical signals into electromagnetic waves for transmission, and vice versa for reception.

The journey of electromagnetic waves as they travel through space from the transmitting antenna to the receiving one.

Propagation

The process by which the receiving antenna captures and converts the incoming electromagnetic waves back into electrical signals.

Reception

Demodulation

The extraction of the original audio signal from the received carrier wave.

Interference

External factors, such as other electronic devices or environmental conditions, that can disrupt signal clarity and affect voice communication.

Range

The maximum distance over which a walkie-talkie can effectively transmit signals, influenced by its power, antenna design, and environmental conditions.
