Transmitter
It is an electric circuit that converts the electric power into a radio frequency. The radio frequency is in the form of alternating current, which reverses millions of time per second. This energy reversing rapidly radiates in the form of electromagnetic waves, off a conductor called antenna. Transmitters impress the audio or video signals onto radio frequency current that gets carried by the radio waves.
