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.
If the thrust produced by the RF resonant cavity thruster is due to an interaction with an external field, it is a propellantless drive constituting an open system that does not violate any physical law, for example like a sail providing acceleration by interacting with the wind.
