radio transmitters

Wireless broadcast devices

Radio transmitters are devices that generate and send radio waves, converting electrical signals into electromagnetic radiation that travels through air or space.

They're the broadcasting half of radio communication—found in everything from AM/FM stations to cell towers, walkie-talkies, and WiFi routers.

The pilot checked the radio transmitter before takeoff.
