RF and AF Section Concepts

The video tutorial explains the process of amplitude modulated (AM) radio transmission. It covers the block diagram of an AM radio transmitter, which consists of two main sections: the audio frequency (AF) section and the radio frequency (RF) section. The AF section generates the modulating wave, converting sound energy into electrical energy using a microphone and amplifiers. The RF section generates a high-frequency carrier wave using a crystal control oscillator, which is then power amplified. The modulator mixes the RF wave and the modulating AF signal to produce the amplitude modulated wave, which is transmitted via an antenna.
