radiorelated

Radiorelated is a broad term used to describe topics, technologies, and research connected with radio and radio frequency (RF) systems. It encompasses the study and application of wireless communication, broadcasting, radar, navigation, and other phenomena that rely on electromagnetic waves in the radio spectrum.

The scope of radiorelated includes the design and deployment of antennas and transceivers, modulation and coding schemes, spectrum management, regulatory compliance, and electromagnetic compatibility. It also covers RF propagation, interference mitigation, measurement techniques, and the development of standards that enable interoperable devices and networks.

Applications within radiorelated span traditional broadcasting (AM, FM, and digital radio) to mobile and fixed wireless networks (2G–5G and beyond), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite communications, radar systems, and radio astronomy. It encompasses both consumer electronics and industrial, scientific, and medical devices that rely on radio technologies. Research areas often include channel modeling, RF front-end design, spectrum sharing, antenna theory, and EMC testing.

Safety and regulatory aspects are integral to radiorelated fields. They involve RF exposure guidelines, such as those issued by ICNIRP, FCC, and ITU, as well as licensing, spectrum allocation, electromagnetic compatibility requirements, and compliance testing to minimize interference with other systems.

Although not a formal discipline by itself, radiorelated serves as an umbrella descriptor in industry literature, standards documents, and academic papers to categorize topics dealing with radio communications, RF hardware, and related phenomena.
