Microwaves are generally describes as electromagnetic waves with

frequenciesthat range from approximately 500 MHz to 300 GHz or more.

Therefore, microwavessignals, because of their inherently high
frequencies, have relatively short wavelengths,h e n c e t h e n a m e
micro waves. Fo r example, a 100 GHz micro wave signal has
a wavelength of 0.3 cm, whereas a 100 MHz commercial broadcast-band FM
signal has awavelength of 3 m. the wavelengths for microwave frequencies fall
between 1 cm and
