which different frequencies are analyzed with different resolutions. A wave is an oscillating function of time or space and is periodic. In contrast‚ wavelets are localized waves. They have their energy concentrated in time or space and are suited to analysis of transient signals. While Fourier Transform and STFT use waves to analyze signals‚ the Wavelet Transform uses wavelets of finite energy.

Radio waves for Communication Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths larger than the infrared light. Like all other electromagnetic waves‚ they travel at the speed of light. The wavelengths can vary from the size of a football field to the size of a football. They can be produced naturally by large stars and by lightning. Man-made radio waves are used for transmitting signals and currents. Specific Properties of Radio Frequency (RF) Current Radio frequency is the frequency of radio
