Diagram of leaky feeder cable. A leaky feeder is a communications system used in underground mines and inside tunnels. [1] Manufacturers and cabling professionals use the term "radiating cable" [2] [3] [better source needed] [4] as this implies that the cable is designed to radiate: something that a typical coaxial cable is generally not intended to do.
By 1900 application of high-frequency current to the body was used experimentally to treat a wide variety of medical conditions in the quack medical field of electrotherapy. In 1899 Austrian chemist von Zaynek determined the rate of heat production in tissue as a function of frequency and current density, and first proposed using high-frequency ...
[4] [6] They are non-linear, level-dependent and the bandwidth decreases from the base to apex of the cochlea as the tuning on the basilar membrane changes from high to low frequency. [ 4 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The bandwidth of the auditory filter is called the critical bandwidth, as first suggested by Fletcher (1940) .
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).
Thus, the transmitting coil is a good EM near-field generator at radio frequency, but a poor EM radiation transmitter at radio frequency. The receiver coil picks up the oscillations at RF frequencies produced by precession of the magnetic moment of nuclei inside the subject. The signal acquired by the coil is thus an induced emf, and is not the ...
[17]: 820–1 Similarly, thermal injury can occur with the use of radio frequency ablation to remove thyroid nodules. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] The nerve is permanently damaged in 0.3–3% of thyroid surgeries, and transient paralysis occurs in 3–8% of surgeries; accordingly, recurrent laryngeal nerve damage is one of the leading causes of ...

In radio communication, multipath is the propagation phenomenon that results in radio signals reaching the receiving antenna by two or more paths. Causes of multipath include atmospheric ducting, ionospheric reflection and refraction, and reflection from water bodies and terrestrial objects such as mountains and buildings.
