Radio Wave

A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave propagated by an antenna. In aviation, radio waves are used for communication and navigation purposes. Communication radio waves are used for air traffic control, pilot-to-pilot communication, and ground-to-air communication. Navigation radio waves are used for determining the position of an aircraft, such as VOR (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range) and NDB (Non-Directional Beacon) signals. Radio waves are also used for weather radar and satellite communication in aviation.
