Broadcast Antennas. Radio and television broadcast stations transmit their signals via RF electromagnetic waves. Broadcast stations transmit at various RF frequencies, depending on the channel, ranging from about 550 kHz for AM radio up to about 800 MHz for some UHF television stations.
In 1932, Karl Jansky at Bell Labs revealed that stars and other objects in space radiated radio waves. Credit: NRAO/AUI. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. They range from the length of a football to larger than our planet.Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of radio waves in the late 1880s. He used a spark gap attached to an induction coil and a separate spark gap on a receiving antenna.n 1932, Karl Jansky at Bell Labs revealed that stars and other objects in space radiated radio waves.
