What is frequency reusing in Cellular Spectrum?

Thanks to the invisible electromagnetic spectrum our mobile phones transmit and receive which enables us to connect to each other and to communicate in multiple ways. All the electromagnetic spectrum can’t be used for cellular communication. It should be understood that this electromagnetic spectrum is a highly costly resource and it is been sold. Let us understand more why this electromagnetic spectrum is such valuable asset in detail.

First of all, let us understand some basic concepts (You can skip this if you want):

  1. Electromagnetic Spectrum

Electromagnetic Spectrum is the total range of frequencies/wavelength of electromagnetic radiation with their wavelengths and photon energies. This range starts from longer wavelength Radio waves to shorted wavelength Gamma rays.

2. Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic Radiation are electromagnetic waves that are synchronised oscillation of electrical and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other. These are created due to the periodic change of electric and magnetic field. Different wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum is produced based on how the power and periodic change occurs.
