the team discovered that despite the wide range of deadly makeshift bombs, they all had similar frequency ranges, explained Mora. “So we developed a system that concentrates on those, and thus loses less energy,” he added.
They successfully tested their system in Colombia last November and again in January 2011 using improvised mines provided by a team of professional bomb disposal experts. The devices were remotely set off at an average distance of 20 metres.

Curious about this comment:
If the radio waves are strong enough, they can easily destroy electronics devices. But they need to be very, very strong and able to penetrate the case of the device to do so.
The electromagnetic whiplash (called electromagnetic pulse or EMP) of an atomic or nuclear explosion is sudden enough and strong enough to induce very large currents in metal objects tens to hundreds of km away from the blast. Those currents are sufficient to blow up high-voltage power line switchgear and fry the semiconductor junctions inside all sorts of solid-state electronic devices. To survive, military electronics as used in the battlefield and in aircraft must be carefully "hardened" against EMP with special shielding techniques.
In the case of light: If the box enclosing the electronics is colored plastic or metal, sunlight will not make it inside. Even if it could, the wavelength of the light is far, far shorter than the dimensions of the circuit board with the electronics on it, and so electric currents will not be induced in the board by having sunlight fall on it.
