Earth–ionosphere waveguide Earth and the ionosphere. The round-the-world nature of the waveguide produces resonances, like a cavity, which are at ~7 Hz. Radio propagation within the ionosphere depends on frequency, angle of incidence, time of day, season, Earth's magnetic field, and solar activity. At vertical incidence, waves with frequencies larger than the electron plasma frequency (f) of the F-layer maximum (1) f = 9 (N) kHz (N in cm is the electron density) can propagate through the ionosphere nearly undisturbed. Waves with frequencies smaller than f are reflected within the ionospheric D-, E-, and F-layers. f is of the order of 8–15
Radio Waves (song) experiments with the phone and is able to access computers and speech synthesizers, he learns to speak through them. He calls a radio station in L.A. named Radio KAOS, a completely fictitious radio station based in Los Angeles and tells them of his abilities and his life story throughout the album. Radio Waves (song) "Radio Waves" is the opening track from Roger Waters' second solo studio album, "Radio K.A.O.S." It was chosen as the lead single for the album, released worldwide in May 1987. "Radio Waves" introduces the main character, Billy, a disabled man who finds a way to talk
