What is Radio Frequency?
Radio Frequency (RF) refers to electromagnetic waves with frequencies typically ranging from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, used for wireless communication and signal transmission. These frequencies are capable of radiating efficiently from antennas and propagating through air and space, making them ideal for applications like radio broadcasting, television, cellular phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and radar systems. RF signals can carry information by modulating their amplitude, frequency, or phase, and require specialized circuits and components designed to handle their unique propagation characteristics.
