Aviation communication has five types: verbal, nonverbal, written, written and graphics, and human-machine and machine-machine communications . Verbal communication or speech is the most common communication medium used in an aircraft or in the aviation industry.
Read moreWhat is VHF communication?
VHF, in full very high frequency, conventionally defined portion of the electromagnetic spectrum including any radiation with a wavelength between 1 and 10 metres and a frequency between 300 and 30 megahertz . VHF signals are widely employed for television and radio transmissions.
Read moreWhat does UHF stand for?
UHF, abbreviation of ultrahigh frequency , conventionally defined portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, encompassing radiations having a wavelength between 0.1 and 1 m and a frequency between 3,000 and 300 megahertz.
Read moreWhat is the difference between HF and UHF?
UHF systems are known for generating long read ranges, up to twelve meters (forty feet), whereas HF systems carry a much shorter read range of approximately one meter (three feet). UHF allows for a faster data transfer rate, up to 20 times the range and speed of HF systems.
Read moreWhat is VHF antenna aircraft?
The VHF antenna P/N 2448-88-00 is an airborne communication antenna capable of transmitting and receiving signals in the VHF band from 118 to 156 MHz (extended) including VDL mode 2 . Designed for high-performance and wide-body aircraft, the VHF antenna has a compact design for reduced drag.
Read moreWhy VHF is used in aircraft?
VHF radios are used for communications between aircraft and air traffic control (ATC), as well as air-to-air communication between aircraft . When using VHF, each party transmits and receives on the same channel. Only one party can transmit at any one time.
Read moreWhy is UHF used?
UHF radios operate at a higher frequency. This makes them ideal for wireless communications that need to penetrate through buildings, walls, or concrete. UHF radios are suited for indoor communication solutions, where obstacles are easily penetrable.
