This book describes the complex relationship between writers and the radio, offering itself as an unpublished and original tool for measuring the cultural and political objectives of the public radio service between the 1930s and 1960s. From initial suspicions to pioneering attempts and productive consolidation, this new and invisible art form significantly reflected the resistances, experiments and impulses of the Italian literary society. With great competence, Rodolfo Sacchettini (one of the leading specialists on the subject) focuses on works which were specifically written for the radio: radio plays, conferences, cultural broadcasts, etc. The 1930s are described as a whirlwind of fear and hypnosis, adventures and modernity: from Benjamin's Germany and Korczak's Poland, with the invention of programs for children and adolescents, to fascist Italy, with audience records for the magazine I 4 moschettieri di Nizza and Morbelli. In the background, the United States with Wells and MacLeish who, by playing on the edge of credibility, announced the landing of Martians and mysterious foreign conquerors on the microphone. The second part of the volume is dedicated to the Italian post-war period, when writers systematically collaborated with radio stations, creating important works whose merit is also to focus and enhance the potential of an artistic genre which was still being defined and developed. Sacchettini, through the additional use of unpublished scripts, analyses radio plays by Savinio, Gadda, Pratolini and Dessí: auteur texts for a medium which would belong to writers for a very long time.

The commonly accepted history of FM radio is one of the twentieth century’s iconic sagas of invention, heroism, and tragedy. Edwin Howard Armstrong created a system of wideband frequency-modulation radio in 1933. The Radio Corporation of America (RCA), convinced that Armstrong’s system threatened its AM empire, failed to develop the new technology and refused to pay Armstrong royalties. Armstrong sued the company at great personal cost. He died despondent, exhausted, and broke. But this account, according to Gary L. Frost, ignores the contributions of scores of other individuals who were involved in the decades-long struggle to realize the potential of FM radio. The first scholar to fully examine recently uncovered evidence from the Armstrong v. RCA lawsuit, Frost offers a thorough revision of the FM story. Frost’s balanced, contextualized approach provides a much-needed corrective to previous accounts. Navigating deftly through the details of a complicated story, he examines the motivations and interactions of the three communities most intimately involved in the development of the technology—Progressive-era amateur radio operators, RCA and Westinghouse engineers, and early FM broadcasters. In the process, Frost demonstrates the tension between competition and collaboration that goes hand in hand with the emergence and refinement of new technologies. Frost's study reconsiders both the social construction of FM radio and the process of technological evolution. Historians of technology, communication, and media will welcome this important reexamination of the canonic story of early FM radio.

The main objective of this book is to present novel radio frequency (RF) antennas for 5G, IOT, and medical applications. The book is divided into four sections that present the main topics of radio frequency antennas. The rapid growth in development of cellular wireless communication systems over the last twenty years has resulted in most of world population owning smartphones, smart watches, I-pads, and other RF communication devices. Efficient compact wideband antennas are crucial in RF communication devices. This book presents information on planar antennas, cavity antennas, Vivaldi antennas, phased arrays, MIMO antennas, beamforming phased array reconfigurable Pabry-Perot cavity antennas, and time modulated linear array.

« Une émission sur France Culture n’est ni un cours, ni de la publicité pour vendre un livre », déclare une productrice. Radio du service public, consacrée à la culture savante et artistique, France Culture ne s’apparente ni à une radio universitaire, ni à un faire-valoir des productions culturelles. Elle suppose donc une mise en forme qui construise une place à l’auditeur. Ni tribunal de la culture, ni haut-parleur pour ceux qui y parlent, elle est un média, irrémédiablement contenu et contenant, énoncé et énonciation. Et son histoire est aussi celle de la socialisation progressive des médias. À partir d’une enquête de terrain, cet ouvrage constitue une approche sociologique originale par observation, entretien et données statistiques. Il emprunte aux registres de la sociologie du travail, des professions, des médias et aux apports récents de l’action située. La production et la réalisation radiophoniques constituent un travail collectif en situation, une série d’organisations-par-projets au sein d’une institution stable et de groupes professionnels structurés, D’une part, le cadre même de la production radiophonique est un cadre qui se construit plutôt qu’il n’est déjà construit, d’autre part, ceux qui font France Culture revendiquent une professionnalité et une autonomie face au domaine scientifique. Il en découle des formes de collaboration et des identités professionnelles propres à une activité tantôt conçue comme intellectuelle, tantôt comme journalistique ou bien encore artistique. L’ouvrage analyse le profil et le niveau d’intégration des personnels dans l’organisation — statuts, trajectoires, investissements et idéologies professionnelles — mais aussi l’activité professionnelle — recréation à partir de matériaux enregistrés, lieux d’activité, relations interpersonnelles, savoir-faire techniques, négociations autour de la fabrication du produit sonore. Que ce soit dans ses créations sonores ou dramatiques, dans ses émissions en direct ou dans ses…
