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.
Read moreWhat are the bands of radar?
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 .
Read moreHow many bands of radar are there?
The different bands are L,S,C,X,K . The names of the radars originate from the days of WWII. L band radars operate on a wavelength of 15-30 cm and a frequency of 1-2 GHz. L band radars are mostly used for clear air turbulence studies.
