Radio frequency, or RF, devices are used in just about everything in the modern age. These devices allow your electronics to work wirelessly, weld plastics together and even treat cancer. Learning about RF devices can help you build your own circuits or even just better understand the types of medical treatment you are undergoing. The two main things you will want to know are how do they work and where they are found.
How Do They Work?
Different radio frequency devices will have the same basic mechanics, but vastly different functions and applications. These items usually create electromagnetic radiation and then direct that energy source with the help of RF power dividers in specific ways to create radio waves designed to break up cancer in the body or to send information wirelessly. Because the wavelength and strength are different for those two applications, and others, you cannot use your cellular …
