Band (radio)




A band is a small section of the Spectrum of Radio communication Frequencies , in which Channels are usually used or set aside for the same purpose. Examples include:

S-Band 1750-2400 MHz

Each of these bands has a basic Bandplan which dictates how it is to be used and shared, to avoid Interference and to set Protocol for the Compatibility of Transmitter s and Receiver s.

Note that as a matter of Physics , bands are divided at Wavelength s of 10n Metre s, or frequencies of 3×10n Hertz . For example, 30 MHz or 10 m divides shortwave (lower and longer) from VHF (shorter and higher). These are the parts of the Radio Spectrum , and not its Frequency Allocation .
