What is the difference bitween rf and micro wave ?

Hi


Radio Frequency (RF) and wireless have been around for over a century with Alexander Popov and Sir Oliver Lodge laying the groundwork for Guglielmo Marconi?s wireless radio developments in the early 20th century. The most prominent of his experiments was in December, 1901 where he successfully transmitted Morse code from Cornwall, England to St-John?s, Canada.

What is RF?
RF itself has become synonymous with wireless and high-frequency signals, describing anything from AM radio from 535 kHz to 1605 kHz to computer LANs at 2.4 GHz. However, radio frequency has traditionally defined frequencies from a few kHz to ~ 1 GHz with Microwave being the consideration.
