1. Radio receiver

   In radio communications, a radio receiver, also known as a receiver, a wireless, or simply a radio, is an electronic device that receives radio waves and converts the information carried by them to a usable form. It is used with an antenna. The antenna intercepts radio waves (electromagnetic waves of radio frequency) and converts them to tiny alternating currents which are applied to the receiver, and the receiver extracts the desired information. The receiver uses electronic filters to separate the desired radio frequency signal from all the other signals picked up by the antenna, an electronic amplifier to increase the power of the signal for further processing, and finally recovers the desired information through demodulation. Radio receivers are essential components of all systems that use radio. The information produced by the receiver may be in the form of sound, video (television), or digital data. A radio receiver may be a separate piece of electronic equipment, or an electronic circuit within another device. The most familiar type of radio receiver for most people is a broadcast radio receiver, which reproduces sound transmitted by radio broadcasting stations, historically the first mass-market radio application. A broadcast receiver is commonly called a "radio". However radio receivers are very widely used in other areas of modern technology, in televisions, cell phones, wireless modems, radio clocks and other components of communications, remote control, and wireless networking systems.

1. radio receiver

   A radio receiver is an electronic device that captures radio waves sent by a transmitter and converts them into perceivable sound or data. It serves as the counterpart to the radio transmitter in any wireless communication system and operates by amplifying weak signals, tuning into a specific frequency, demodulating the radio signals to remove the carrier wave, and converting the resulting signal into a form that can be understood by humans or utilized by other devices. The radio receiver is used in a wide range of applications, from broadcasting stations to mobile phones, satellite communication, and Wi-Fi networks.

The information produced by the receiver may be in the form of sound, images or data. A radio receiver may be a separate piece of electronic equipment, or an electronic circuit within another device. Devices that contain radio receivers include television sets, radar equipment, two-way radios, cell phones, wireless computer networks, GPS navigation devices, satellite dishes, radio telescopes, bluetooth enabled devices, garage door openers, and baby monitors. In consumer electronics, the terms radio and radio receiver are often used specifically for receivers designed to reproduce the audio signals transmitted by radio broadcasting stations – historically the first mass-market commercial radio application.
