In radio propagation, skip is when a radiosignal is reflected or refracted by the atmosphere or ionosphere, and returns to Earth in an unexpectedly far-away place. Radio propagation is a term used to explain how radio waves behave when they are transmitted, or are propagated from one point on the Earth to another. ... A signal may refer to: an abstract element of information, or, more exactly, usually a flow of information (in either one or several dimensions). ... The term reflection (also spelt reflexion) can refer to several different concepts: In mathematics, reflection is the transformation of a space. ... This article refers to refraction in waves. ... Earths atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earths gravity. ... The ionosphere is the part of the atmosphere that is ionized by solar radiation. ... Earth, also known as the Earth or Terra, is the third planet outward from the Sun. ...
CB radio (27 megahertz) was intended not to skip, but often it does skip. Citizens band radio (CB) is, in the United States, a system of short distance radio communication between individuals on a selection of 40 channels within the single 27 MHz (11 meter) band. ...
Occasionally (sometimes when meteor showers make ionized trails in the atmosphere), television signals skip. Some radio enthusiasts look for such signals and call them DX-TV. Categories: Planetology | Astronomy stubs ... ...
Although radio topics have been on the rise at recent AES shows, the emphasis on broadcasting at this convention was astounding.
Meanwhile, radio spectrum is a fixed and scarce resource, and even Internet bandwidth is generally gobbled up faster than it can be provided, so conservation along this axis is also welcome, particularly when it can be achieved with an increasing retention of fidelity.
Radio itself had a higher overall profile at this year’s AES than ever, with sessions running the gamut from IBOC to IP Audio.
