Raadiosagedusimpulss, also known as radiofrequency radiation or RF radiation, refers to electromagnetic radiation with frequencies ranging from 3 Hz to 300 GHz. This form of energy is commonly used in various technologies, including radio and television broadcasting, mobile communications, Wi-Fi, and radar systems. The term "radiofrequency" is derived from the fact that these waves can be generated and detected by electronic circuits, which are often referred to as "radio" devices.

RF radiation is a type of non-ionizing radiation, meaning it does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules, unlike ionizing radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays. This makes RF radiation generally considered safe for human exposure at typical levels encountered in everyday life. However, concerns have been raised about potential health effects from prolonged exposure to high levels of RF radiation, particularly in the context of mobile phone use and wireless communication devices.

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and other regulatory bodies have established guidelines to limit human exposure to RF radiation. These guidelines are based on extensive research and aim to ensure that the benefits of using RF technologies outweigh any potential health risks. Despite ongoing research, the exact mechanisms and thresholds for adverse health effects from RF radiation remain areas of active investigation.
