A radio spectrum is typically, the primary subject of spectrum licensing and as such, it does help to have a background knowledge of what a radio spectrum. In simple terms, a radio spectrum is a collective term for all  electromagnetic wave frequencies that are useful for wireless communication. Radio waves are invisible and undetectable to human sense but lie at the heart of modern communications technology. Radio transmission technology involves electromagnetic waves radiating outwards from one radio equipment to another radio equipment, through the air and travels as a wave of varying frequency, measured in hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves, travelling through the air, are transmitted at different frequencies depending on the electrical signal applied to the transmitting equipment. Generally, frequency and power determine transmission range, such that the lower the frequency and the higher the power, the larger the transmission range. Although high frequencies have
