unusual facts about Low frequency


Airband

Some types of navaids, such as Non-directional beacons and Distance Measuring Equipment, do not operate on these frequencies; in the case of NDBs the Low frequency and Medium frequency bands are used between 190–415 kHz and 510–535 kHz.


Casio Wave Ceptor

CASIO mentions that in Europe, the watches will tune to the low frequency time signal radio station DCF77 located at Mainflingen in Germany or MSF at Anthorn (formerly transmitting from Rugby, Warwickshire) in the United Kingdom.

Advanced Audio Coding

AAC supports inclusion of 48 full-bandwidth (up to 96 kHz) audio channels in one stream plus 16 low frequency effects (LFE, limited to 120 Hz) channels, up to 16 "coupling" or dialog channels, and up to 16 data streams.

Aguada transmission station

Aguada transmission station is a facility of the US Navy for transmitting orders to submerged submarines near Aguada in Puerto Rico at 18°23'55"N 67°10'38"W by using radio waves in the low frequency range.

Beta barrel

Beta-barrels in proteins may carry out low-frequency breathing-like motion as observed by the Raman spectroscopy

Beta dispersion

Beta dispersion is the phenomenon associated with the ability of a biological cell membrane to filter out low frequency currents and allow high frequency currents to pass through.

Black ghost knifefish

On the other hand, when low-frequency electric fields are generated by external sources instead of the fish itself, a different class of electroreceptor organs is used for this passive electrolocation, called ampullary organs.

Concanavalin A

Concanavalin A has a low-frequency wave number of 20 cm−1 in its Raman spectra.

Equatorial Rossby wave

Equatorial Rossby waves, often called planetary waves, are very long, low frequency waves found near the equator and are derived using the equatorial Beta plane approximation, f = \beta y, where "β" is the variation of the Coriolis parameter with latitude, \beta = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}.

Formidable-class frigate

The frigates are also equipped with the EDO Corporation active low frequency towed sonar to enable long range submarine detection and classification, as well as EuroTorp A244/S Mod 3 lightweight torpedoes fired from two B515 triple-tube launchers hidden behind the bulwark.

Haplogroup I-M438

Of historical note, both haplogroups I-M253 and I-M223 appear at a low frequency in the historical regions of Bithynia and Galatia in Turkey, possibly descendants of the Thracians, Cataphract of Alexander the Great at 334 BC, and Varangians, who are historically recorded to have invaded those parts of Anatolia from the 9th to 11th centuries.

Home theater

Home theater in a box, HTIB is an modestly-priced integrated home theater package which "bundles" together a combination DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc player and multi-channel amplifier (which includes a surround sound decoder, a radio tuner, and other features), speaker wires, connection cables, a remote control, a set of five or more surround sound speakers (or more rarely, just left and right speakers) and a low-frequency subwoofer

Low-frequency effects

The low-frequency effects (LFE) channel is the name of an audio track specifically intended for deep, low-pitched sounds ranging from 3-120 Hz.

Rome Laboratory

One of their earliest experiments involved the construction of the Forestport Tower, a 1205 foot high transmission antenna used for low-frequency communications experiments.

Signals intelligence operational platforms by nation

According to the academic Teresia Teaiwa, New Zealand, as part of the UKUSA alliance, collected and analyzed low frequency radio and international satellite communications from the South Pacific region.

Siple Station

Siple Station, Antarctica was a research station in Antarctica (75°55' S, 83°55' W), established in 1973 by Stanford's STAR Lab, to perform experiments that actively probed the magnetosphere using very low frequency (VLF) waves.

Sonobuoy

With the development of better hydrophones, the transistor and miniaturization, and the realisation that very low frequency sound was important, more effective acoustic sensors followed.
