Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter with frequencies between 300 MHz (1 m) and 300 GHz (1 mm) Different sources define different frequency ranges as microwaves the above broad definition includes both UHF and EHF (millimeter wave) bands A more common definition in radio-frequency engineering is the range between 1 and 100 GHz (wavelengths between 03 m and 3 mm) In all cases, microwaves include the entire SHF band (3 to 30 GHz, or 10 to 1 cm) at minimum Frequencies in the microwave range are often referred to by their IEEE radar band designations: S, C, X, Ku, K, or Ka band, or by similar NATO or EU designations
