"RADIO WAVES" is a plural of: radio wave.


Specialty Definition: RADIO WAVES

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

Waves produced by oscillation of an electric charge at a frequency useful for radio communication. Formerly called Hertzian waves. See frequency bands, electromagnetic radiation. (references)

Health

That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond the microwaves, with wavelengths as high as 30 KM. They are used in communications, including television. Short Wave or HF (high frequency), UHF (ultrahigh frequency) and VHF (very high frequency) waves are used in citizen's band communication. (references)

Post & Telecom

Electromagnetic waves arbitrarily restricted to frequencies below 3 000 GHz, or 3 000 Gc/s, and not guided between transmitter and receiver by artificial boundaries such as wires or wave-guides. Source: European Union. (references)

Space

Electromagnetic waves of relatively low frequency. (references)

Health

MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to differentiate between healthy and diseased tissue. (references)

Antennas within the MRI machine pick up the radio waves within and feed them into a computer which assembles a picture. (references)

MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves, rather than X-rays, and can often distinguish accurately between healthy and diseased tissue. (references)

Business

However, current strict regulation on hard currency as well as poor economic conditions and population slow down has hampered the further development of value-added telecom services, specifically the wireless application protocol (wap) and services including wireless LAN using radio waves, wireless intranet and internet services and satellite subsriptions.
