Radio(RF)
System of communication employing electromagnetic waves propagated through space. Because of their varying characteristics, radio waves of different lengths are employed for different purposes and are usually identified by their frequency. The shortest waves are the highest frequency, or numbers of cycles per second; the longest waves have the lowest frequency, or fewest cycles per second. In honor of the German radio pioneer Heinrich Hertz, his name has been given to the cycle per second: (hertz, Hz); 1 kilohertz (Khz) is 1000 cycles per second, 1 megahertz (Mhz) is 1 million cycles per second, and 1 gigahertz (Ghz) is 1 billion cycles per second. Radio waves range from a few kilohertz to several gigahertz. Waves of visible light are much shorter. In vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at a uniform speed of about 300,000 km (about 186,000 mi) per second. For electromagnetic waves other than radio. Radio waves are used not only in radio broadcasting but in wireless devices, telephone transmission, television, radar, navigational systems, and communication. In the atmosphere the physical characteristics of the air cause slight variations in velocity, which are sources of error in such radio-communications systems as radar. Also, storms or electrical disturbances produce anomalous phenomena in the propagation of radio waves. Because electromagnetic waves in a uniform atmosphere travel in straight lines and because the earth's surface is spherical, long distance radio communication is made possible by the reflection of radio waves from the ionosphere. Radio waves shorter than about 10 m (about 33 ft.) in wavelength - designated as very high, ultrahigh, and super high frequencies (VHF, UHF, and SHF) - are usually not reflected by the ionosphere; thus, in normal practice, such very short waves are received only within line-of-sight distances. Wavelengths shorter than a few centimeters are absorbed by water droplets or clouds; those shorter than 1.5 cm (0.6 in) may be absorbed selectively by the water vapor present in a clear atmosphere. A typical radio-communication system has two main components, a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter generates electrical oscillations at a radio frequency called the carrier frequency. Either the amplitude or the frequency itself may be modulated to vary the carrier wave. An amplitude - modulated signal consists of the carrier frequency plus two sidebands resulting from modulation. Frequency modulation produces more than one pair of sidebands for each modulation frequency. These produce the complex variations that emerge as speech or other sound in radio broadcasting, and in the alterations of light and darkness in television broadcasting.

Chapter 12 Supreme Council for National Security
Article 176 [Supreme Council for National Security]
(1) In order to safeguarding the national interests and preserving the Islamic Revolution, the
territorial integrity, and the national sovereignty, a Supreme Council for National Security
presided over by the President shall be constituted to fulfil the following responsibilities:
1.Determining the defence and national security policies within the framework of general policies
determined by the Leader;
2. coordination of activities in the areas relating to politics, intelligence, social, cultural and
economic fields in regard to general defence and security policies; and
3. exploitation of materialistic and intellectual resources of the country for facing the internal and
external threats.
(2) The Council shall consist of:
- the heads of three branches of the government,
- the chief of the Supreme Command Council of the Armed Forces,
- the officer in charge of the planning and budget affairs,
- two representatives nominated by the Leader,
- Ministers of foreign affairs, interior, and information,
- a Minister related with the subject, and
- the highest ranking officials from the Armed Forces and the Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps.
(3) Commensurate with its duties, the Supreme Council for National Security shall form
subcouncils such as Defence Subcouncil and National Security Subcouncil. Each subcouncil will
be presided over by the President or a member of the Supreme Council for National Security
appointed by the President.
(4) The scope of authority and responsibility of the subcouncils will be determined by law and
their organizational structure will be approved by the Supreme Council for National Defence.
(5) The decisions of the Supreme Council for National Security shall be effective after the
confirmation by the Leader.

Radio
Radio is the wireless transmission of signals, by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space. It does not require a medium of transport. Information is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as their amplitude or their frequency. When radio waves pass an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. This can be detected and transformed into sound or other signals that carry information.
