UHF (siglas del inglés Ultra High Frequency, ‘frecuencia ultra alta’) es una banda del espectro electromagnético que ocupa el rango de frecuencias de 300 MHz a 3 GHz. En esta banda se produce la propagación por onda espacial troposférica, con una atenuación adicional máxima de 1 dB si existe despejamiento de la primera zona de Fresnel. Debido a la tecnología utilizada, el nombre se usó en España también para referirse a La 2 de TVE hasta 1990, habiendo caído esta nomenclatura progresivamente en desuso en los últimos años.

Ultra high frequency (UHF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies in the range between 300 MHz and 3 GHz, also known as the decimetre band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one decimetre. Radio waves with frequencies above the UHF band fall into the SHF (super-high frequency) or microwave frequency range. Lower frequency signals fall into the VHF (very high frequency) or lower bands. UHF radio waves propagate mainly by line of sight; they are blocked by hills and large buildings although the transmission through building walls is strong enough for indoor reception. They are used for television broadcasting, cell phones, satellite communication including GPS, personal radio services including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, walkie-talkies, cordless phones, and numerous other applications. The IEEE defines the UHF radar band as frequencies between 300 MHz and 1 GHz. Two other IEEE radar bands overlap the ITU UHF band: the L band between 1 and 2 GHz and the S band between 2 and 4 GHz.
