Drone frequency bands | UAV Drone bands

This page mentions drone frequency bands used for radio control from ground. The UAV drone bands are mentioned in the tabular format. The drone related links are also provided for reference.


The table mentions drone band name, start frequency, stop frequency and transmit power limits.


Drone Band Name Start Frequency Stop Frequency Power limit
UHF SRD (Short Range Device) 433.05 MHz 434.79 MHz <= 10 mWatt ERP
ISM 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHz 2.4835 GHz <= 100 mWatt EIRP
ISM 5.8 GHz 5.725 GHz 5.85 GHz <= 100 mWatt EIRP


Following are the abbreviations used in this drone bands table.

• UHF- Ultra high frequency

• ISM- Industrial, Scientific and Medical Radio Band

• ERP- Effective Radiated Power

• EIRP- Effective Isotropic Radiated Power
