That's the frequency band that international telecommunications meetings and the FCC

decided to allocate to FM broadcast.

As a result of that decision, all FM broadcast stations in the US have carrier frequencies in that range.

If they applied for a license to broadcast on a frequency outside of that range, it wasn't granted,

and they soon got the idea.

The manufacturers of radios, being a pretty smart bunch, realized right away that if all of the

FM broadcast stations were on frequencies in that range, then they'd be smart to build their

products with the ability to receive FM broadcast in that range.

If you play around with a receiver that can receive frequencies outside that range, you'll hear

TV channel 6 between 82-88 MHz, and aircraft navigation and communication above 110 MHz.

What is a standard wavelength band?

A standard wavelength band refers to a specific range of wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum used for various applications such as telecommunications or remote sensing. Common examples include the visible light spectrum (400-700 nm) and the radio frequency band (3 kHz to 300 GHz).


What wave length is smooth radio?

Smooth Radio broadcasts on various frequencies depending on location, but generally falls within the FM radio band range of 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz. The specific wavelength of Smooth Radio will vary depending on the frequency it is broadcast on in each region.


What is broad band optical limiting material?

Broadband essentially here mean the different frequency range or the large wavelength range. Broad band optical limiter is one which exhibits optical limiting behavior over a broad range of wavelength. Typically - in the visible and IR spectral range as we have many optical components or sensors(eye /cameras) responding in this wavelength range.


What is ML band for a radio?

"Extremely High Frequency" (EHF) is the highest radio frequency band. It runs from 30 to 300 gigahertz and has a wavelength of ten to one millimeter, giving it the nickname millimeterwave or millimeter Band (mmW/ML Band).


What is milliliter radio?

"Extremely High Frequency" (EHF) is the highest radio frequency band. It runs from 30 to 300 gigahertz and has a wavelength of ten to one millimeter, giving it the nickname millimeterwave or millimeter band (mmW/ML band).


What is the frequency of a radio wave 2m in a wavelenght?

Frequency = speed/wavelength = 300,000,000/2 = 150,000,000 = 150 MHz. (The ham-radio band from 144 to 148 MHz is usually called the "two-meter band".)


What electromagnetic spectrum band has the least amount of energy?

The radio band is the least energetic section of the electromagnetic spectrum.


How radio communicate works?

Radio communication works on radio signals that are "beamed" into the air on a certain frequency. Frequency is a certain wavelength or band. The receiving equipment has to be set to receive the signal on the same frequency.


What are the sizes of radio waves?

One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiationwith frequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, sothere's no lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.-- AM commercial radio broadcast band . . .550 KHz to 1.7 MHz176.5 to 545.5 meters-- FM commercial radio broadcast band . . .88 to 108 MHz2.78 to 3.41 meters-- Radio-wave energy used to heat leftover meat loafin a microwave oven:2.45 GHz12.2 centimeters
