VHF radio is also used for marine Radio [6] as per its long-distance reachability comparing UHF frequencies. Example allocation of VHF–UHF frequencies: [7] Radionavigation 60: 84–86 MHz; Fixed Maritime Mobile: 130–135.7 MHz; Fixed Aeronautical radio navigation: 160–190 MHz; Broadcasting Aeronautical Radionavigation: 255–283.5 MHz
It is difficult to design a single antenna to receive such a wide wavelength range, and there is an octave gap from 216 to 470 MHz between the VHF and UHF frequencies. So traditionally, separate antennas (outdoor antennas with separate sets of elements on a single support boom) have been used to receive the VHF and UHF channels. [6]
A metal-framed window will present almost no barrier to a UHF signal, while a VHF signal may be attenuated or strongly diffracted. For stations with strong signals, UHF antennas mounted beside the television are relatively useful, and medium-distance signals 25–50 kilometres (16–31 mi) away can often be picked up by attic mounted antennas. [1]
It is used at VHF and UHF frequencies where antenna sizes are feasible. Often used for satellite communication, which uses circular polarization because it is insensitive to the relative rotation on the beam axis. [ab] Not to be confused with a "rubber ducky" antenna (normal mode helix), which is much smaller. [m]
The size of antenna required to radiate radio power efficiently increases in proportion to wavelength or inversely with frequency. Below about 10 kHz (a wavelength of 30 km), elevated wire antennas kilometers in diameter are required, so very few radio systems use frequencies below this.
UHF wavelengths are short enough that efficient transmitting antennas are small enough to mount on handheld and mobile devices, so these frequencies are used for two-way land mobile radio systems, such as walkie-talkies, two-way radios in vehicles, and for portable wireless devices; cordless phones and cell phones.
