RF and microwave basics - Overview

Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "Radio-frequency (RF) transmission is all about generating and sending electromagnetic waves through space. These waves are created when an alternating current flows through an antenna, producing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The energy in these fields can induce currents in nearby conductive objects. When an antenna is driven at a specific frequency, standing waves form along its length, with points of maximum voltage called antinodes and points of mi
