A radio scanner frequencies wave (known as radio scanner frequencies waves) is an electromagnetic wave whose frequency is less than 3000GHz, a wavelength greater than 0. 1 mm. The field of radio scanner frequencies is regulated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established a radio scanner frequencies regulations in which we read the following definition. Radio waves or radio waves "electromagnetic waves of frequencies arbitrarily lower than 3000GHz, propagated in space without artificial guide" they are between 9 kHz and 3000 GHz corresponding to wavelengths of 33km to 0. 1 mm [1]. The higher frequency waves are classified as 3000GHz wave infrared (IrDA), as the technology associated with their use is currently non-electrical and optical type, but that boundary is artificial, there is no fundamental difference between radio scanner frequencies waves and light waves (and other electromagnetic waves). A radio wave is classified according to its frequency in Hz or cycles per second, all of these frequencies is the radio frequency spectrum. The spectrum is conventionally divided into bands of a decade, including International calls are standard. The French equivalent names are sometimes also used in French texts. To avoid ambiguity with the vocabulary of the acoustics and sound system, we use the term "audio-frequency" rather than "low frequency" to refer to sound waves or electrical signals in the band 30Hz to 30kHz. Bands microwave or "microwave" between 400MHz and 30GHz are historically cut into half-octave corresponding to the standard waveguide, called: bands U, L, S, C, X, K (itself divided into Ka and Ku). This terminology is still used. The term "medium frequency" refers to the frequency amplifier sets superheterodyne receivers: he now prefers the term "intermediate frequency" unambiguous. Tapes of radio scanner frequencies and TV also have standard names: bands I, II, III, VHF, UHF IV and V bands and GO LF, PO in MF, HF OC. Finally, some bands have been termed their use regulations: for example, the ISM bands are allocated for domestic use without a license [2]. Like all electromagnetic waves, radio scanner frequencies waves propagate through empty space at the speed of light and with an attenuation proportional to the square of the distance traveled by the equation of telecommunications. In the atmosphere, they undergo further mitigations related to rainfall, and can be reflected or guided by the portion of the upper atmosphere called the ionosphere. They are attenuated or deflected by the obstacles, depending on their wavelength, the nature of the material, shape and dimension. For simplicity, a conductive material has a reflection effect, while a dielectric material will produce a deviation, and the effect is related to the ratio between the size of the object and the wavelength. Diagram attenuation of the atmosphere according to the wavelength. radio scanner frequencies waves of short and medium wavelengths are not attenuated (blue area right of the diagram), while the long radio scanner frequencies wavelengths are absorbed (brown area at the far right of the diagram). Each radio scanner frequencies frequency undergoes various different propagation effects, which explains their choice depending on the application. For example, the Earth's atmosphere blocks the emission to space out some bands that are preferred for radio scanner frequencies astronomy and satellite. Certain radio scanner frequencies are absorbed by water molecules, therefore, used for microwave ovens, others are instead reflected by precipitation and used for weather radars, etc. . Another key criterion is the usable bandwidth and spectrum congestion by multiple applications and services, any application requires a bandwidth, which must be allocated under penalty of mutual interference. Such as television can only use high-frequency VHF or UHF. Finally, the available technology can gradually use frequency bands become higher. Thus, for example, SHF and EHF were not used before the invention of the magnetron. radio scanner frequencies waves are modulated to carry information (a signal), such as amplitude modulation for AM radio, on FM radio scanner frequencies for FM, phase modulation in other applications or pulse modulation for radars. The demand for bandwidth for telecommunications and radar, and the protection of radio scanner frequencies astronomy frequency spectrum is a scarce resource that should be regulated globally. The spectrum allocation is done within the framework of international organizations, particularly the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The dangers in the presence of intense RF fields were raised early on especially with the development of microwave ovens in homes for people living near transmitters military high power or for personnel working near radars. More recently, the danger may be linked to mobile phones has led to define a standard measure of radiation (Specific Absorption Rate or SAR), but the health effects are not the unanimity of scientists. Professional measures on electromagnetic waves require a calibrated antenna suitable for measuring frequencies, followed by an electronic measuring device type:. The analysis in amateur bands common LF to UHF can be done with a calibrated receiver (scanner). The analysis in the low bands VLF to ELF is generally done with software after FFT scan directly into a personal computer. With regard to radio scanner frequencies waves, the term 'radio waves' is a synonym. As defined by the ITU, the term "radio" [3] covers only the signals from radiation - this is the electromagnetic radiation - that is, without hardware support [4] for example, both terrestrial TV and satellite and all other forms of wireless spectrum in the frequency of these waves [5] [6]. ? The vocabulary does not mean, however, incorrectly as "radio" that terrestrial TV stations. Similarly the distribution of electrical signals by cable, is not literally an air distribution, even if the radio scanner frequencies are identical, nor is the ADSL television, these modes of transmission using a physical medium (fiber optic cable coax, telephone wire, etc. ). .
