Resonant Frequency (RF) is the natural vibrational rate of an object and is determined by its size, shape, and material composition. When a force is applied to an object at its resonant frequency, the object will vibrate with maximum amplitude. Resonance occurs when the frequency of the applied force matches the natural vibration rate of… Read More

In physics, resonance is a phenomenon in which a system is forced to oscillate at a specific frequency. This can happen when the system is driven by an external force, or when it’s natural frequency matches the driving force. When resonance occurs, the system experiences amplified vibrations and can become unstable. There are many examples… Read More

(FM) an acronym for Frequency Modulation is a type of signal modulation in which the frequency of a carrier wave is varied in accordance with the amplitude of an input signal. FM signals are used for a variety of applications, including radio broadcasting, two-way radio communication, radar systems, and sonar. The main advantage of FM… Read More

The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, is an independent agency of the United States government that regulates communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is headed by five commissioners who are appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the… Read More

Hertz Overview
Hertz is a unit of measurement that denotes the number of times per second that something vibrates. The hertz unit was named after the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, who conducted groundbreaking experiments in electromagnetism during the late 19th century. Today, hertz is used to measure all sorts of things, from the frequency of electromagnetic… Read More
