Wikipedia

  1. Low frequency

    Low frequency (LF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 30–300 kHz. Since its wavelengths range from 10–1 km, respectively, it is also known as the kilometre band or kilometre wave. LF radio waves exhibit low signal attenuation, making them suitable for long-distance communications. In Europe and areas of Northern Africa and Asia, part of the LF spectrum is used for AM broadcasting as the "longwave" band. In the western hemisphere, its main use is for aircraft beacon, navigation (LORAN), information, and weather systems. A number of time signal broadcasts also use this band.

  1. low frequency

    Low frequency refers to a rate of oscillation in the range of around 30 kHz to 300 kHz. In radio, sound, and other systems, low frequency waves have a larger wavelength and are usually less susceptible to interference but require larger antennas and more power to transmit. In the electromagnetic spectrum, lower frequency translates to a longer wavelength and typically carries less energy.

  1. Low frequency

    Low frequency or low freq or LF refers to radio frequencies in the range of 30 kHz–300 kHz. Also known as the kilometre band or kilometre wave as the wavelengths range from one to ten kilometres, the low signal attenuation in this band allows long distance communication. In Europe, and parts of Northern Africa and of Asia, part of the LF spectrum is used for AM broadcasting as the longwave band. In the western hemisphere, its main use is for aircraft beacon, navigation, information, and weather systems. Time signal stations MSF, HBG, DCF77, JJY and WWVB are found in this band.

  4. Simon Portegies Zwart:

    It would be a great way to find IMBHs, i think that with LOFAR [the Low-Frequency Array in the Netherlands], such research should already be possible, but the sensitivity may pose a problem.

  5. Tom Landecker:

    [ We now know ] the sources can produce low-frequency radio waves and those low-frequency waves can escape their environment, and are not too scattered to be detected by the time they reach the Earth, that tells us something about the environments and the sources. We haven't solved the problem, but it's several more pieces in the puzzle.
