Frequency:The number of times per second asignal repeats. The term Hertz (abbreviatedHz) is used instead of cycles per second to honorthe German scientist Gustav Hertz.
For example, middle C on a piano vibrates 256.

Licensed Radio Operations: A frequency or
radio service that requires coordination with
other users, the approval of the FederalCommunications Commission and the
ssu ng o a ra o cense.
Exam les of licensed services: Commercial AM/FM and TV stations
Fire, police and EMS radios
Some microwave systems

Un cense Ra o Operat ons: A requencyor radio service that does not require a
Commission.
Examples of unlicensed services:
Microwave ovens
Citizen band and Family Radio Service
Remote control cars and planes
Garage door openers

Note t at some ra o systems may e acombination of licensed and unlicensed
.
Companies that operate cell phone
networks must have an FCC license, but
the end-user just buys a phone and starts
.
In the United States, a pilot no longer
needs a radio operators license (but mustget a license when flying into a foreign
coun ry .

Unlicensed operations are subject to FCCtechnical standards and specifications.However, assuming the equipment is operatingcorrectly and meets FCC specifications, there isno protection from interference.
he main subject of this course will be theunlicensed 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, &
Medical (ISM) band of frequencies. As thename ISM implies, many different types ofequipment are designed to use the samefrequencies. Under the right conditions this
can lead to interference and poorcommunications.

Rough Rules of Thumb
Doubling the height of an antenna hasapproximately the same affect as increasing
transmitter power by a factor of 10.
increasing transmitting power by a factor often does not double the coverage area. As a
ru e o t um , re a e operat ng rangeincreases by approximately 30%.
