B band

The NATO B band is the obsolete designation given to the radio frequencies from 250 to 500 MHz (equivalent to wavelengths between 1.20 and 0.60 m) during the cold war period. Since 1992 frequency allocations, allotment and assignments are in line to NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement (NJFA).ELF 3 Hz/100 Mm 30 Hz/10 MmSLF 30 Hz/10 Mm 300 Hz/1 MmULF 300 Hz/1 Mm 3 kHz/100 kmVLF 3 kHz/100 km 30 kHz/10 kmLF 30 kHz/10 km 300 kHz/1 kmMF 300 kHz/1 km 3 MHz/100 mHF 3 MHz/100 m 30 MHz/10 mVHF 30 MHz/10 m 300 MHz/1 mUHF 300 MHz/1 m 3 GHz/100 mmSHF 3 GHz/100 mm 30 GHz/10 mmEHF 30 GHz/10 mm 300 GHz/1 mmTHF 300 GHz/1 mm 3 THz/0.1 mm The NATO B band is the obsolete designation given to the radio frequencies from 250 to 500 MHz (equivalent to wavelengths between 1.20 and 0.60 m) during the cold war period. Since 1992 frequency allocations, allotment and assignments are in line to NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement (NJFA). However, in order to identify military radio spectrum requirements, e.g. for crises management planning, training, Electronic warfare activities, or in military operations, this system is still in use. The NATO harmonised UHF band 225-400 MHz is also a subset of this particular band as de-fined by the NJFA.
