KHz to ultraviolet
Propagation characteristics vary with frequency
Flynn/Katz - SDR
July 1, 2010
Low MHz
Waves guided between earth and ionosphere
Distance of communication varies based on wavelength
AM Radio (1 MHz) propagates < 100 miles in day but longer at
night
Predictable propagation
Sky Wave

Line of Sight
Other Channels
Above 30 MHz
Need little or no obstruction limited by horizon
Noise issues
In GHz range rain issues
Used for Satellite and local communications
Very predictable / stable propagation
