We thank the hospitals that have chosen to demonstrate their commitment to transparency and continuous improvement through their participation in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey. To learn more about the annual Survey and how we get the data, please follow the links below.
Radio frequency cavities, or RF cavities, receive RF energy from a klystron and transfer it to electrons as they pass through the cavities on their way around the booster synchrotron and storage ring. Just as in the klystron, RF radiation interacts with electrons, adding energy to increase or maintain their speed.icrowaves are radio waves with a wavelength between about one meter and one millimeter, which are the wavelengths used for radio and television broadcasts as well as radar and microwave ovens.
Brief Intro to RF and Microwave Heating. When energy from electromagnetic fields is transformed into thermal energy, RF heating occurs. There are two different types of RF heating methods: induction and dielectric. Induction heating takes place in materials with a high electrical conductivity, such as copper or other metals, for instance. Eddy currents are induced by the alternating electromagnetic field and the resistive losses heat up the material.
