Characteristics

 High-frequency currents are currents

alternating, sinusoidal, with a frequency above 100
from 000 Hz to a few GHz or tens of GHz
 Any electric current with a frequency > 10 kHz

used in radio, TV, GPS transmissions, etc.
 To avoid interfering with the waves used in

telecommunications, high frequency devices

I use strict frequency bands.
