  Online Etymology Dictionary
In ref. to radio broadcasting, attested from 1903, subsequently superseded by radio.
Radio and television sense is attested from 1908.
To be on the beam (1941) was originally an aviator's term for "to follow the course indicated by a radio beam." Lewis Carroll may have thought he was inventing beamish in "Jabberwocky," but it is attested from 1530.

 Radio propagation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radio propagation is a term used to explain how radio waves behave when they are transmitted, or are propagated from one point on the Earth to another.
Skywave propagation, also referred to as skip, is any of the modes that rely on refraction of radio waves in the ionosphere, which is made up of one or more ionized layers in the upper atmosphere.
Forecasting of skywave modes is of considerable interest to amateur radio operators and commercial marine and aircraft communications, and also to shortwave broadcasters.

 Beam steering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beam steering: Changing the direction of the main lobe of a radiation pattern.
In radio systems, beam steering may be accomplished by switching antenna elements or by changing the relative phases of the rf signals driving the elements.
In optical systems, beam steering may be accomplished by changing the refractive index of the medium through which the beam is transmitted or by the use of mirrors or lenses.

 Radio Storms on Jupiter
To catch a radio storm you have to know (1) when Earth will be aligned with the edge of the cone and (2) when Io is in the right position to pour electrical energy into the storm zone.
Jupiter's cone-shaped radio beam is attached to the planet's magnetic field, which emerges from deep inside Jupiter.
By tracking the radio beam as it turns, astronomers have managed to measure the rotation rate of the planet's hidden interior with a precision of milliseconds.

 Bear Left!: Right-Wing Radio
Beam's column was dead-on until he outlined the talk radio options available to Greater Boston's 4 million radio listeners, organizing each talkjock into a neat ideological compartment.
Beam could have written an insightful piece on the vast wasteland of talk radio in Boston, programming that is so slanted to the right that it calls into question the licensing process of the federal airways.
Beam doesn't understand that evolution favors speed and intelligence over the status quo, especially one that is old and tired.

 The ``Beam Power'' of Classical Double Radio Sources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
An important parameter is the beam power or rate at which energy leaves the AGN in the form of a highly collimated outflow and is deposited in the vicinity of the radio hot spot and lobe.
Important parameters, such as the beam power, may be estimated using the radio properties of the lobe and bridge since these are related to the properties of the shock front.
The beam power is one of the important ingredients of the characteristic source size that allows classical doubles to be used as a cosmological tool (see the paper of Daly and Guerra at this meeting).

 Radio Ranges
Aiming a beam from an ocean liner to a lighthouse should be okay, while even momentary aiming from a speeding off-road vehicle should be almost impossible.
If the transmitter is beamed with an opening angle of 5 degrees, the detector antenna size shrinks to a tenth of a square metre, which is reasonable for almost any purpose.
The horizon acts to limit some radio transmissions, because radio waves do not travel well through earth, rock, buildings, etc. The Earth's ionosphere is a layer of electrically charged particles (ions) in the upper atmosphere, some 100 kilometres from the surface.

 Radio Ranges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
For example, terrestrial radio and TV transmissions are beamed mostly in a horizontal plane, so that most of the power goes to reaching antennae at or near ground level, and little is wasted into the sky or ground.
If a beam needs to be aimed manually for any reason, require a skill roll against Electronics Operation (Communications), with a -1 penalty for every degree of opening angle less than 10 degrees.
Once a beam is aimed manually, it may be locked in place, assuming appropriate equipment and no relative motion of transmitter and receiver.

The polarization properties of radio profiles of gamma-ray pulsars do not suggest that short period pulsars are core dominated, as discussed by the study of Arzoumanian, Chernoff & Cordes (2002).
The goal of this project is to constrain the viewing geometry for some radio pulsars, especially three-peaked pulse profiles, in order to limit the uncertainty of the magnetic inclination and impact angles.
We obtain separate spectral indices for the core and cone beams and explore the trends of the ratio of core to cone peak fluxes.

 Radio Beam
Chambers Electronics have developed Radio Beam Counting Technology to produce a people counter that is the most advanced and reliable trail counter on the market today.
The counter consists of a radio transmitter and receiver, and operates by detecting the change in radio signal as a person walks between them.
The sensor has a narrow beam and can therefore discriminate between individuals in groups if the unit is positioned where walkers normally walk in single file.

When XM Radio emerged in October 2001, a demand for the new technology came from long-haul truck drivers, for whom radio is often the only distraction in an otherwise monotonous routine.
Because Sirius Radio used to be called CD Satellite Radio, the company developed an early reputation for airing only continuous music and precluding "personality" elements, such as talk show programs or a deejay, according to Sirius spokesman Ron Rodrigues.
As for Sirius Radio's old name giving people the impression that all they did was play CDs on the air, "that wasn't the case then and it certainly isn't the case now," Rodrigues said.

His previous inventions have been the invaluable radio compass, the radio fog signal system, the mobile radio beacon to protect ships in fog, the decremeter which measures wave lengths and dampens radio oscillations, the Kolster radio receiving set.
By lay supposition, such a straight-going beam would be tangential to the earth's curvature and so never reach distant earth points where radio stations may be.
The Kolster beam may be skillfully aimed at the Heaviside Layer† and be reflected down to its receiving station, just as a pool player bounces a ball from cushion to pocket.

 Radio Range Manual
Since the beam fanned out three degrees from the station, and was three miles wide at 60 miles out, it was considered standard procedure to fly the right edge of the beam for precise navigation.
On passing the station, usually the sides of the beam you are on have reversed their N or A Morse signals.
All the necessary radio information is carried on these charts, including the station frequency, the quadrant-identification signal, the elevation above sea level, the identification of the quadrants, and the direction of the four beams.

 CP Beam Base Antenna for CB Radios
Circular Polarization (CP) is an idea borrowed from FM and TV broadcasters, who were faced with the problem of getting out to both cars (vertical) and homes (horizontal).
CP is basically a rotating, twisting radio wave containing properties of all polarization angles, including all those in between vertical and horizontal.
And when transmitting, the fact that your signal contains all types of polarization increases your chance of being heard by both local and skip stations.
