Sometimes a division by wavelength is used: Short wave (SW): Wavelengths of 10-200m hence frequencies of 1.5-33 MHz ; there are several sub-bands. Medium wave (MW): Wavelengths of 200-1000m hence frequencies of 300 kHz-1.5 MHz. Long wave (LW): Wavelengths > 1000m hence frequencies < 300 kHz.

The name “shortwave” originated during the beginning of radio in the early 20th century, when the radio spectrum was divided into long wave (LW), medium wave (MW), and short wave (SW) bands based on the length of the wave .

Following the World Administrative Radio Conference in 1992 which allocated spectrum to new services in the 1 – 3 GHz frequency range CEPT began to develop a general plan to promote the harmonised European use of frequencies within the band 1350 – 2690 MHz .

Medium wave (MW) is the part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM radio broadcasting . The spectrum provides about 120 channels with more limited sound quality than FM stations on the FM broadcast band.

X, K, and Ka band radar are simply names for different frequencies of police radar (just like different radio station names on FM radio) When your detector alerts you to one of these three radar bands, it has detected radar waves that fall within that particular band.

Police radar transmits radio waves on a specific frequency, and the three frequency bands currently in use (in North America) are X-band, K-band, and Ka-band .
