Radio frequency emission
In the Wikipedia article on SETI, the word 'emission' is used. In my experience, although 'emission' and 'radiation' may be linguistic synonyms, in practice, 'emission' is usually used in the sense of transmission of electromagnetic radiation(!) when the focus is on the information content of the transmission. 'Radiation' is more often used either by physicists or when the focus is on health aspects of the e.m. transmission.
Example sentence:
If this is typical, one way of discovering an extraterrestrial civilization might be to detect non-natural radio emissions from a location outside our Solar System.
Radio frequency (RF) emissions are electromagnetic waves that transport energy as they travel through space and time.
