Perpendicular to the wire (sideways)
Magnetic field (H)
Parallel to the wire up & down
Electric field (E)
Magnetic field & electric field are both propagating (spreading out) at

Radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum has frequencies from
3 KHZ to 300GHz
3 Types of Radio comms
Key modulation (morse code) switch on/off transmitter
Pulse modulation
Phase modulation - phase forward by 90⚫️
Double side bands can cause
LSB=USB
Station interference
Single sideband
Used in HF-long range (need specially designed SSB receiver/transmitter in order to use it)
- Uses half bandwidth
- allows more power for range and less for transmission
- improves signal to noise ratio
