Description

Radio frequency (RF) refers to the rate of oscillation of electromagnetic radio waves in the range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, as well as the alternating currents carrying the radio signals. In simpler terms a radio wave is an electromagnetic wave propagated by an antenna which is used for communication.
