Frequency Allocation
Frequency allocation is the process of assigning specific frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum to various services and users. This ensures that different technologies, such as radio, television, and cellular networks, can operate without interference. Regulatory bodies, like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, manage this allocation to promote efficient use of the spectrum.
The allocation process involves careful planning and coordination among different stakeholders, including government agencies, private companies, and international organizations. By designating frequencies for specific purposes, frequency allocation helps maintain order in communication systems and supports the growing demand for wireless services.
