Simply, RF stands for Radio Frequency. This generally refers to all of the electromagnetic spectrum that is used for radio systems and wireless communication. However, RF can also mean a variety of different things depending on the context of use. On some occasions when discussing spectrum, RF refers to the frequency range below microwaves, which ..

In many cases in RF/Microwave electronics it is advantageous to generate, modulate, receive, and demodulate communication and sensing signals at frequencies lower than the RF transmission/reception carrier frequency. The frequency difference between the modulation/demodulation (baseband) signals and the RF signals may be so vast, that multiple frequency conversion stages may be required. In these instances, ..
