Radiophysics
Radiophysics (also modern writing "Radio Physics"[1]) is a branch of physics focused on the theoretical and experimental study of certain kinds of radiation: its emission, propagation, and interaction with matter.
The term is used in the following major meanings:
- study of radio waves (the original area of research)
- study of radiation used in radiology[2]
- study of other ranges of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation in some specific applications
Among the main applications of radiophysics are radio communications, radiolocation, radio astronomy, and radiology.
Branches
- Classical radiophysics deals with radio wave communications and detection
- Quantum radiophysics (physics of lasers and masers; Nikolai Basov was the founder of quantum radiophysics in the Soviet Union)
- Statistical radiophysics
