Low frequencies predominantly cover our earth’s atmosphere. This range of frequency may be created by many different sources which may be quite unknown and strange. A VLF sensor equipment can be made to trace these frequencies for investigating the intriguing secrets hidden behind it. Mr. Steven Chiverton investigates. VLF Receiver for Sensing Lightening and other […]
