Broadcast Spectrum

Broadcast spectrum refers to the range of radio frequencies used for transmitting audio, video, and data over the airwaves. It is divided into different segments allocated for various services like television, radio, and mobile communications. Each service uses specific frequencies to ensure clear signals and prevent interference. Regulatory bodies, like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S., manage this spectrum to balance the needs of broadcasters, telecommunications companies, and the public, ensuring efficient use and access to these airwaves for communication and entertainment.
