- Cosmic background radiation, both diffuse and discrete in nature, produced at different cosmic epochs before and after recombination, provides key information on the evolution of cosmic structures. We discuss the main classes of sources that contribute to the extragalactic background light from radio to sub-millimetre wavelenghs and the currently open question on the level of the cosmic radio background spectrum. The redshifted 21cm line signal from cosmological neutral Hydrogen during the primeval phases of cosmic structures as a probe of the cosmological reionisation process is presented, along with the route for confident detection of this signal. We then describe the basic formalism and the feasibility to study via a differential approach, based mainly on dipole analysis, the tiny imprints in the CB spectrum expected from a variety of cosmological and astrophysical processes at work during the early phases of cosmic perturbation and structure evolution. Finally, we discuss the identification of high-redshift sub-millimetre lensed galaxies with extreme magnifications in the Planck maps and their use for the comprehension of fundamental processes in early galaxy formation and evolution.
