IF : Intermediate Frequency, at which signals are amplified and processed internally within a receiver.
IFK : Incremental Frequency Keying a variant of MFSK
Image frequency : A frequency separated from that of the desired received signal by twice the receiver's intermediate frequency.
Ionosphere : a region in the atmosphere that contains ionised gasses that refract (bend) radio waves and direct them back to earth.
Inductance : A measure of how well a coil stores energy in the form of a magnetic field.
Interface: usually refers to a circuit used to connect the sound card of a computer to a transceiver to allow digital modes to be used.
Insulator : A substance through which electricity does not pass easily - known as a dielectric in capacitors
