Link coupling is used to transfer energy between two r-f circuits which for whatever reason cannot be located near to each other. The method used in link coupling is a wire loop which stretches between the two stages, terminating at each end in a coil of few turns. At the output of the first stage, this wire loop will act as a step-down transformer, and at the input of the next stage it will act as a step-up transformer. To work in this manner the loop terminations must be positioned next to the inductor of the r-f tank circuit.

Do you mean with opamp circuits or tuned RF/IF amplifiers? In both cases several stages can be used to increase the gain. With opamp circuits though getting both wide bandwidth and high gain at the same time is difficult. With tuned RF/IF amplifiers two things can be done to get wide bandwidth: 1) reduce the Q of the tuned coupling transformers connecting the stages and 2) stagger the tuning of the tuned coupling transformers connecting the stages so that some are detuned high while others are detuned low.

An rf link transmitter is used to connect different repeaters together in a wireless network. A repeater is used to strengthen a wireless signal and provide better coverage.
See related link below for a better explanation than mine.. I am not to familiar with Rf values, but I have an idea. Rf values are the ratio between the distance traveled by the spot of the analyte to the distance traveled by the solvent used. This is used in paper chromatography and thin layer chromatography. Rf value will allow you to compare to your unknown substance that you are trying to analyze. I will put a link the both paper and TL chromatography.
The main hazard is RF burns from improperly placed mono polar return pad. Another hazard is capacitively coupling of pieces of metal used in the procedure, for example knives, retractors, haemostats.
Applications: They are used in low power amplifiers DLVA, microwave and RF power monitors, high-frequency triggers, ALC loops, zero bias detectors, ACP tunnel diode circuits, etc. Since they are more resistant to nuclear radiation, tunnel diodes are used in space applications like amplifiers for satellite communications.
RF is used as an abbreviation of "radio frequency".
AN RF Isolator is really a three port device called an "RF Circulator" in which one port is always terminated correctly with a suitable load. RF Isolator are usually passive and are bandwidth limited.Typical use: It used in the output of a RF Transmitters High Power Amplifiers but before a BP/ HP filter and the antenna.Typical Function: To isolate a TX RF Power Amplifier output from receiving RF feedback from external sources. i.e. In this case the RF coupled in from other Antenna systems in close proximity. Such undesired RF feedback would cause intermodulation / harmonics products to be generated within the RF amplifier and consequently be re-radiated out along the the desired RF signal to the antenna and possibly cause interference. Often used on all TX's in two way radios sites to avoid local IM.SIMPLIFIED: In other words an Isolator passes RF in one direction but attenuates RF in the other direction.Note: The RF Isolator is slightly non linear and therefore it can cause low levels of intermodulation / harmonics. So it is good practice to place either a basic Band Pass or High pass filter after the RF Isolator to attenuate the unwanted IM products.Tuning these RF Circulators / Isolators correctly requires a suitable network analyzer or combination of RF Bridge / Spectrum Analyzer with Tracking generator.
