What is UHF?

Ultra high frequency (UHF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies in the range between 300 megahertz (MHz) and 3 gigahertz (GHz), also known as the decimetre band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one tenth of a meter (one decimetre). UHF radio waves are widely used for television broadcasting, cell phones, satellite communication, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and various two-way radio systems, including land mobile radio, amateur radio, and cordless phones.
