Frequency and Voltage relation

Click For Summary
Frequency in electronics refers to the number of cycles of a signal per second, while voltage is the electrical potential difference. Different frequencies can coexist in a single cable, and devices like de-multiplexers or tuned circuits are used to separate these signals based on frequency rather than voltage. Each electromagnetic wave, such as those received by a radio antenna, does not produce a different voltage but is instead distinguished by its frequency. Understanding the relationship between frequency and voltage is crucial, as they operate independently in signal processing. This knowledge is essential for grasping how electronic devices manage multiple signals.

Hi, I'm confused about the meaning of the term frequency used in electronics. I'm not sure if I understand what it means.

For example:

There a number of frequencies travel through a single cable television, at the end point does the de-multiplexer recognizes each signal by its voltages?

E.g. Signal1 at some frequency producing different voltage depending on frequency.

Another example is radio waves received by radio antenna, does each EM wave produce different voltage?

I would like know the relation between frequency and voltage, so i can understand what frequency means in electronics.

No they are independent. The way they separate different frequencies in radio for instance is using a tuned circuit like a narrow band filter. Tuning that to different frequencies separates out each one.
