Information on Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

The ultra-high-frequency (UHF) band is a radio-frequency (RF) band in the range 300-3,000 MHz. The UHF band can be used for communications systems such as television, which require the transmission of large bandwidths over short distances (generally line-of-sight). Small, directional antennas are economical and effective. The UHF band is used for fixed communications services, ground-to-air communications, mobile services, and television. Other non-communications services include: radar, space research, radio astronomy, and telemetry.
