Which device converts electrical energy into radio waves?

Explanation:
Radiation of radio waves is done by the antenna. When an RF current from a transmitter flows through the antenna, it creates time-varying electric and magnetic fields that propagate away as radio waves. The antenna is the element that converts electrical energy in the circuit into electromagnetic energy in space. A battery stores and supplies energy but doesn’t generate radiation by itself; a resistor converts electrical energy into heat; a ground provides a reference and return path but doesn’t emit radio waves.
