Radio traffic
The radio traffic ( English Radiocommunication ) is "a telecommunication traffic with the help of radio waves ", whereby under radio waves the frequency range up to 3 THz is to be understood. The definition enables the signals to be transmitted not only via the usual medium of air, but also via wire ( wire radio ). Worldwide, the range of 9 kHz to 275 GHz by the ITU Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union regulated (ITU) and radio services assigned.
The terms radio waves and sparks go back to the fact that so-called pop - spark transmitters were used in the first attempts at transmission in radio telegraphy , and from 1908 mainly the extinguishing spark transmitters derived from them .
Numerous abbreviations and codes are used in international radio communications .
