Frequency allocation
open-in-new
<p>Frequency allocation (or spectrum allocation) is the part of <a href="/facts/Spectrum_management/etDs5EYB">spectrum management</a> dealing with the designation and regulation of the <a href="/facts/Electromagnetic_spectrum/24LARvFY">electromagnetic spectrum</a> into <a href="/facts/Frequency_bands/94Rq1PkQ">frequency bands</a>, normally done by governments in most countries. Because <a href="/facts/Radio_propagation/80y1JV4M">radio propagation</a> does not stop at national boundaries, governments have sought to harmonise the allocation of RF bands and their standardization. </p>
