Radio Frequency
Radio Frequency (RF) transmission characteristics or Radio Frequency by definition is known as a frequency in the range within which radio waves may be transmitted, from about 3 kilohertz to about 300,000 Gigahertz. RF is also the range of oscillation that ranges from 3 KHz to 300 GHz and work hand in hand with the frequency of the radio waves and the fluctuation currents that carry radio signals.
Radio Frequency has different types of properties but ones that are most important are the radiation of electromagnetic waves cause by the energy in a RF current. Usually an electromagnetic wave is the main base of what is known to be Radio Technology. RF can be found emitting around conductors of electrical currents, they are usually not found within the conductors themselves but usually around the shell of the conductor known as the skin effect. In summary the skin effect is due to opposing eddy currents induced by the changing magnetic field resulting from the alternating current. At 60 Hz in copper, the skin depth is about 8.5 mm. At high frequencies the skin depth becomes much smaller. In order to receive RF signal not only does an antenna need to be utilize a transmitted most known as a radio must be used to detect the radio frequency. The radio transmitted must have the ability to tune into the signal to a readable format. This leads to the most important use for RF energy is in providing telecommunication services. Such as radio and television broadcasting, cellular phones, radio devices walkie-talkie along with satellite communication are all but just a few examples of RF used in telecomm. If at any point the human body were to come in close contact with high level RF current the RD frequency could cause burning to the human skin or even irritation. Tissue damage in humans could occur during exposure to high RF levels and the body's inability to cope with or dissipate the excessive heat that could be generated. Two areas of the body, the eyes and the

    A radio signal is an electromagnetic wave propagated by an antenna. Radio waves have different frequencies, and by tuning a receiver’s radio at a specific frequency, you can pick up a signal, because the starting point, or direction of the wave changes. An interesting aspect of radio waves is that each wireless technology has its “small band” available.…

    Radio waves offer another benefit to the wireless system in addition to their range. With radio signals it is possible for multiple carriers to exist in the same space at the same time without interfering with each other. The key to making this possible is variation of frequencies. As long as concurrent frequencies are no…

    This movie is about a young man from the Anderson, SC area. The man has some difficulties in his life since he was born mentally challenged. Throughout the movie Radio (James Kennedy was his real name) befriends head football coach, Coach Jones. The first time they met in the movie was when Radio brought back a football that had been kicked over the fence a day or two earlier and Coach Jones told him he would buy him a hamburger. Then Radio started hanging around more. This is also where controversy started when the players would pick on him and play mean jokes. After football Radio went on to basketball to help out and it was more of the same from particularly one person that played both basketball and football. Radio was also granted the ability to come to school as an 11th grader and later on he was able to go as long as he wanted to. The film also shows how tough it is to be mentally challenged and to lose a parent. Coach Jones caught a lot of criticism throughout the movie taking up for Radio but he stuck through and said that as he is here more and more we can learn more and more from him just as much as he can learn from us. Eventually Coach Jones steps down from being the head coach at TL Hanna High but still kept his relationship with Radio. Towards the end of the movie is really where almost all the community gets behind Radio and supports him being there and really being a blessing to the community.…

    Higher the frequency lower the potential health hazard (thermal effects). For frequencies less than 3000 MHz the radiation is absorbed in the skin. When the frequency is higher than 3000 MHz penetrates the skin and absorbed in the tissues increasing the body temperature. A core temperature rise of 2 /hr is estimated to occur in humans under a whole body SAR of 1- 4 w/Kg at 70 MHz. This heating of biological tissues could result in burns, cataract, possible detrimental effect on reproduction and even death.…

    Radio Astronomy Essay In the 1930s a huge discovery was made; one that has led to many subsequent discoveries about the world beyond Earth. This discovery was radio astronomy, the study of celestial objects at radio frequencies. Radio and optical astronomy are two different ways to study stars, planets and moons in the universe; but the most useful would have to be radio astronomy. Despite this, there are some who do argue that optical astronomy is the more useful of the two.…

    A sound wave is created as a result of a vibrating object. The object that is vibrating, is the source of the disturbance that moves throughout the medium. The object creating the disturbance could be the vocal cords of a person, the vibrating strings and soundboard on a string instrument, or the vibrating diaphragm of a radio speaker. If an object has the ability to vibrate, then it will produce sound. Almost every object when hit, struck, plucked, strummed, or somehow disturbed, will vibrate. The frequency or frequencies at which an object tends to vibrate when hit, struck, plucked, strummed, or somehow disturbed is known as the natural frequency of the object. If the amplitudes of the vibrations are large enough and if the natural frequency is within the human frequency range, then the vibrating object with produce sound waves that are audible. Every object has a natural frequency or set of natural frequencies at which they vibrate. The quality of the sound being produced by the vibrating object is dependent upon the natural frequencies of the sound waves produced by the object. The actual frequency at which an object will vibrate at is determined by a variety of factors. Each of these factors will either affect the wavelength or the speed of the object. Since frequency = speed / wavelength, a chance in either speed or wavelength will result in an alternation of the natural frequency. The role of a musician is to control these variables in order to produce a given frequency from the instrument that is being played. Consider a guitar as an example. The guitar has six strings, each having a density, a different tension, and a different length. The speed at which waves move…

    Satellites also communicate via radio waves. More like light than sound, radio waves are comparatively low frequency waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves can be used to transmit information without wires. Data can be coded into the radio waves by modulating the waves. In addition to radio, devices like television and cellular phones use radio waves to send and receive information. You can use radio waves to broadcast to several devices or to communicate between just two devices.…
