radiofrequency
Electromagnetic transmission band
Radiofrequency refers to electromagnetic waves in the range used for radio transmission and communication, roughly 3 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz.
As an adjective, it describes technology or procedures using these waves: radiofrequency identification, radiofrequency ablation.
Medical applications use radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy tissue.
Often abbreviated RF.
