radiofrekvensspektrum

Radiofrekvensspektrum, often shortened to RF spectrum, refers to the range of electromagnetic wave frequencies used for radio transmissions. This spectrum is a finite, natural resource that is allocated and managed by governments and international bodies. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of frequencies, but the RF spectrum specifically covers frequencies from approximately 3 kilohertz (kHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Different parts of this spectrum are designated for various applications, such as broadcasting radio and television, mobile phone communications, Wi-Fi, radar, satellite communications, and emergency services. The allocation of specific frequency bands is crucial to prevent interference between different services. Technological advancements continuously push the boundaries of how efficiently the RF spectrum can be utilized, leading to ongoing discussions and negotiations regarding spectrum sharing and reallocation. Managing the RF spectrum effectively is vital for enabling modern wireless communication technologies and services.
