- Software-defined radio [r]: Radio communication system where components that have typically been implemented in hardware are instead implemented using software on a personal computer or other embedded computing devices. [e]
- Superheterodyne [r]: A form of reception in which the frequency of an incoming signal is mixed with a locally generated signal and converted to an intermediate frequency in order to facilitate amplification and the rejection of unwanted signals. [e]
Military radio and related systems

- Cellular telephony [r]: A set of techniques that let many low-powered portable telephones connect to the fixed network, often exchanging data and images as well as voice [e]
- Cooperative Engagement Capability [r]: A distributed computing and communications system principally aboard U.S. Navy warships, more than the AEGIS battle management system is often called. As opposed to the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System it does not share only the processed data from single sensors on single platforms, but shares a mutually computed model fusing all sensors [e]
- Wireless local area network [r]: A local area network, with a range in hundreds to thousands of meters, which transfers high-speed digital data without a direct physical connection between nodes on the network, usually by radio; the nodes are assumed to stay in one general area, as opposed to moving widely as in cellular telephony [e]
- EU-NATO-US Frequency bands [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Radar [r]: A contraction of radio direction and ranging, used for detecting and tracking targets, navigation, imagery, and special applications. [e]
- Classic rock [r]: A radio format usually encompassing the mid-1960s to early 1980s years with an emphasis on guitar based bands such as Led Zeppelin or Bad Company. Since the 1980s, classic rock has also been used to loosely describe a genre of music redolent of the radio format. [e]
- Led Zeppelin Radio [r]: A commercial-free, satellite radio station on the XM Satellite Radio platform, broadcasting the music of Led Zeppelin. [e]
