Why do we use higher frequency?

Increasing the frequencies will give everyone more “room” to transmit radiowaves . Increasing data rates, because having a higher carrier frequency also allows to widen the communication channel. Miniaturization (higher frequencies = lower wavelengths = smaller antennas and systems)

What is low frequency used for?

The Low Frequency (LF) band is mostly used for AM broadcasting in Europe as well as in areas of Northern Africa and Asia . Similar to VLF, LF can also be used for navigational radio beacons. It can also be used for maritime ship-to-shore communication, as well as transoceanic air traffic control.

What affects HF communication?

Space weather impacts radio communication in a number of ways. At frequencies in the 1 to 30 mega Hertz range (known as “High Frequency” or HF radio), the changes in ionospheric density and structure modify the transmission path and even block transmission of HF radio signals completely.
