Understanding the Function of a Radio Transmission System

TLDRA radio transmission system converts electrical energy into radio waves, similar to converting electrical energy into mechanical energy with a fan. The system includes a transmitter, transmission lines, and an antenna. Transmission lines behave similarly to the transmission line of a fan or light. The system can be analyzed using the concept of capacitance and the behavior of magnetic fields. The impedance of the transmission line affects the behavior of the system. The system can be used as a resonant circuit, depending on the length of the line used. Open and closed transmission lines can be used as parallel or series resonant circuits, respectively. A quarter-wavelength open transmission line can be used as a radio antenna.
