Default What is RF ground?

What would you define RF ground as? There seem to be a lot of different
ideas


An ideal RF ground is a point or node where RF current can be imposed
and the result is no change in RF potential (voltage). That is to say
the impedance is zero. All real world implimentations of "RF ground"
are less than perfect as measured by their real world impedance.
