  2. Radio spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_spectrum

    The radio spectrum is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with frequencies from 3 Hz to 3,000 GHz (3 THz). Electromagnetic waves in this frequency range, called radio waves , are widely used in modern technology, particularly in telecommunication .

  3. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and ...

  4. Spectrum management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_management

    Spectrum management is a growing problem due to the growing number of spectrum uses. [6] Uses include: over-the-air broadcasting, (which started in 1920); government and research uses (which include defense, public safety—maritime, air, police—resource management, transport, and radio astronomy); commercial services to the public (including voice, data, home networking); and industrial ...

  5. Radio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_frequency

    Radio frequency (RF) is the oscillation rate of an alternating electric current or voltage or of a magnetic, electric or electromagnetic field or mechanical system in the frequency [1] range from around 20 kHz to around 300 GHz.

  6. High frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_frequency

    HF's position in the electromagnetic spectrum.. High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation [1] [2] for the band of radio waves with frequency between 3 and 30 megahertz (MHz). It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred meters).

  7. Frequency allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_allocation

    US frequency allocations chart, 2016. Frequency allocation (or spectrum allocation) is the part of spectrum management dealing with the designation and regulation of the electromagnetic spectrum into frequency bands, normally done by governments in most countries. [1]

  8. Radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio

    The radio spectrum, the total range of radio frequencies that can be used for communication in a given area, is a limited resource. [37] [3] Each radio transmission occupies a portion of the total bandwidth available. Radio bandwidth is regarded as an economic good which has a monetary cost and is in increasing demand. In some parts of the ...

  9. Spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum

    In telecommunications, especially radio communication, spread spectrum are techniques by which a signal (e.g., an electrical, electromagnetic, or acoustic) generated with a particular bandwidth is deliberately spread in the frequency domain over a wider frequency band.
