What Is an RF Transceiver?

RF transceiver, RF for short RF is the radio frequency current, it is a short for high frequency AC change electromagnetic wave. Alternating current that changes less than 1,000 times per second is called low-frequency current, and high-frequency current is greater than 10,000 times, and radio frequency is such a high-frequency current. The cable television system uses radio frequency transmission.

RF transceiver, RF for short RF is the radio frequency current, it is a short for high frequency AC change electromagnetic wave. Alternating current that changes less than 1,000 times per second is called low-frequency current, and high-frequency current is greater than 10,000 times, and radio frequency is such a high-frequency current. The cable television system uses radio frequency transmission.

In electronics theory, a current flows through a conductor, and a magnetic field is formed around the conductor; an alternating current passes through the conductor, and an alternating electromagnetic field is formed around the conductor, called an electromagnetic wave.

When the frequency of electromagnetic waves is lower than 100kHz, the electromagnetic waves will be absorbed by the ground surface, which will not form an effective transmission. , We call high-frequency electromagnetic waves with long-distance transmission capabilities radio frequency, English abbreviation: RF
