                               Basis of radio communication

       1. Radio communication may be defined as the interchange of signals, sym-
bols, intelligence, impressions between two or more points, employing electromag-
netic waves as the medium of transmission. Engineering may be defined art and sci-
ence by which natural forces and materials are utilized in structures, machines, or
mechanisms for man's benefit. Radio engineering - that branch of engineering which
deals with radio communication — may, therefore, be defined as the art science by
which natural forces and materials are utilized for man's benefit in mechanisms in-
tended to convey for interchange of intelligence between two or more points through
the use of electromagnetic waves as the transmission medium.
       2. Both in theory and in practical application, a very large part of radio engi-
neering may be regarded as a broadened and generalized field of electrical engineer-
ing although, in addition, some phases of radio engineering include other branches of
physics such as acoustics, optics, meteorology, crystallography, and similar fields.
Radio engineering practice differs from electrical engineering practice primarily in
