Homemade FM Radio Antenna

Antennas are devices that receive electromagnetic waves and convert them into electrical currents and vice versa. Antennas are quite an old application, as the use of antennas dates back to the latter half of the nineteenth century. Scientists like Thomas Edison and Heinrich Hertz have used antennas for scientific activities during this period. Antennas are widely used in information systems such as the , television, wireless local area network and radar.

Let's start with the concept of FM technology. FM is the abbreviation for frequency modulation. The father of this broadcasting technology is Edwin Howard Armstrong (1890-1954). The FM technology aims at transmitting superior quality sound to the listeners of . Some of the small scale applications of FM technology include: FM transmitters, wherein the transmission of a signal from an audio device is done to a FM radio receiver. FM  are another example of the application of the FM broadcast band. Making a homemade FM radio antenna is not a difficult task. With the proper understanding of the procedure and all tools at hand, you can perfectly do this work.
