The band of electromagnetic radiation with a radio frequency range of 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as ultra-high frequency(UHF). With a wavelength ranging from 1 to 1 dm, this band is also referred to as the decimeter band. UHF radiation is less impacted by environmental conditions, they are more frequently utilised for channel broadcasting and TV and radio transmission. They have high directivity, but the receiving error also rises at the same time.
