What is the safest radio frequency?
The most restrictive limits on whole-body exposure are in the frequency range of 30-300 MHz where the RF energy is absorbed most efficiently when the whole body is exposed. For devices that only expose part of the body, such as mobile phones, different exposure limits are specified.
How can I protect my radio frequency?
Steps to Reduce Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
- Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone.
- Use speaker mode, head phones, or ear buds to place more distance between your head and the cell phone.
- Avoid making calls when the signal is weak as this causes cell phones to boost RF transmission power.
Are there problems with HF and lower frequency radiation?
The three main problems with this type radiation for communication are: The transmitting antennas must be very large, ideally the size of the wavelength, which complicates HF and lower transmissions from aircraft or MF and lower from surface ships or submarines. Receiving antennas can be smaller but are more efficient if they are large also.
Which is the most common lower frequency radiation?
The lower frequency electromagnetic radiation that is the topic of this module is in the following bands: Of the above bands, the most commonly used is by the Navy is HF (High Frequency). This band will be the primary focus of this module.
What are the radio frequency allocations in the US?

Why is HF Radiation called medium frequency radiation?
The reason for this confusing nomenclature is because when the EM spectrum bands were first named in the early part of the 20th century, most of the radio communications were centered around the MF (Medium Frequency) band and in relation to this, HF radiation was relatively high frequency.
