Chapter 4 - Radio Waves and Alternating Current Signals

In this chapter, we learn the basic physics of radio waves, including the generation of radio waves, the transmission of radio waves. Next we cover what happens when a radio wave interacts with objects, studying refraction, reflection, and diffraction. We then cover the mathematical definitions of the characteristics of radio waves, including wavelength, speed, duration, and intensity.

  1. Polarization matching
  2. Derive the horizon equation
