Spread-spectrum:

In telecommunication and radio communication, spread-spectrum techniques are


methods by which a signal (e.g., an electrical, electromagnetic, or acoustic signal)
generated with a particular bandwidth is deliberately spread in the frequency
domain, resulting in a signal with a wider bandwidth.
This is a technique in which a telecommunication signal is transmitted on a
bandwidth considerably larger than the frequency content of the original
information. Frequency hopping is a basic modulation technique used in spread
spectrum signal transmission.
Spread-spectrum telecommunications is a signal structuring technique that
employs direct sequence, frequency hopping, or a hybrid of these, which can be
used for multiple access and/or multiple functions. This technique decreases the
potential interference to other receivers while achieving privacy.

Radio Waves:
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. These
waves can be longer than a football field or as short as a football. Radio waves do
more than just bring music to your radio. They also carry signals for your
television and cellular phones.
The antennae on your television set receive the signal, in the form of
electromagnetic waves, that is broadcasted from the television station. It is
displayed on your television screen.

Microwaves:
Microwaves have wavelengths that can be measured in centimeters! The longer
microwaves, those closer to a foot in length, are the waves which heat our food in a
microwave oven.
Microwaves are good for transmitting information from one place to another
because microwave energy can penetrate haze, light rain and snow, clouds, and
smoke.
Shorter microwaves are used in remote sensing. These microwaves are used for
radar like the doppler radar used in weather forecasts. Microwaves, used for radar,
are just a few inches long.

Very Low Frequency:


Very low frequency or VLF is the ITU designation for radio frequencies (RF) in
the range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz and corresponding wavelengths from 100 to 10
kilometres, respectively.

Infrared:
Infrared radiation extends from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700
nanometers (nm) to 1 mm. This range of wavelengths corresponds to a frequency
range of approximately 430 THz down to 300 GHz. Below infrared is the
microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Bluetooth:
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short
distances from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks.
Physical range: Typically less than 10 m, up to 100 m

X-rays:
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, infrared
radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation and microwaves. One of the most
common and beneficial uses of X-rays is for medical imaging. X-rays are also used
in treating cancer and in exploring the cosmos.
"X-rays are produced when electrons strike a metal target. The electrons are
liberated from the heated filament and accelerated by a high voltage towards the
metal target." When the electrons strike the target, their energy is converted to X-
rays.
X-rays are also essential for transportation security inspections of cargo, luggage
and passengers. Electronic imaging detectors allow for real-time visualization of
the content of packages and items that passengers might carry on their persons.
Gamma rays:
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, infrared
radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and microwaves. Gamma-rays can be used
to treat cancer, and gamma-ray bursts are studied by astronomers.
Gamma-rays are sometimes used to treat cancerous tumors in the body by
damaging the DNA of the tumor cells. However, great care must be taken because
gamma-rays can also damage the DNA of surrounding healthy tissue cells.
One of the more interesting sources of gamma-rays is gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).
These are extremely high-energy events that last only a few milliseconds to several
minutes. They were first observed in the 1960s, and they are now observed
somewhere in the sky about once a day.
