what does rf power mean
Although radio frequency is a rate of oscillation, the term radio frequency or its abbreviation RF are used as a synonym for radio â i.e., to describe the use of wireless communication, as opposed to communication via electric wires. The energy in an RF current can radiate off a conductor into space as electromagnetic waves (radio waves); this is the basis of radio technology. 2  RF current does not penetrate deeply into electrical conductors but tends to flow along their surfaces; this is known as the skin effect.
