RADIO AND TELEVISION broadcaster broadcast electromagnetic waves from a high transmission tower.It is high so that the ultra short waves can have the largest possible range.These waves always travel in a straight line,just like the sun rays.They cannot go through a mountain. so there is no reception behind a mountain ,but a dead zone.
The curvature of the Earth to is an obstacle too, and the waves cannot 'encircle' the Earth.This problem is solved by the Satellites.Radio waves are sent in a straight line to the satellite , which then sends them to another point on the Earth,again in a straight line.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY.
EARLIER ,electrical signals were transmitted via home antennas, or cables.These signals got converted into picture and sound in television sets.Now this technology is replaced by digital technology.In this technology ,the electrical signals of images and sounds are converted into impulses and encrypted or ' coded' in numbers.The image and sound data are decrypted or 'decoded' in our homes ,so that we can see the original program mes .New television sets can decode by themselves,but old ones needs a small additional device 'set top box' .The digital signals can also came from the radio stations to our homes,this is done by cable ,antenna,or satellites.
LIVE TELECAST.
MANY BROADCASTER SEND the latest news from within the city or from far off places.Their television teams are equipped with a 'broadcasting Van' so that we can see the pictures and report 'Live',i.e, exactly at the time when they are recorded.These broadcasting vans are equipped like a studio and can send everything to us via satellite. In times of crisis or in war zones,reporters often have just a telephone at their disposal .In such live transmissions, the connection is often jerky and keeps on breaking.
RECEIVING FOREIGN STATION.
FOREIGN stations can be received by Satellite .For this ,a satellite dish,a receiver, and a decoder is required.since there are several television satellites in space , one must align the dish with the satellite , whose program mes one wishes to receive.
