I was wondering why they used the term "sub-terahertz" (isn't basically the entire RF spectrum "sub-terahertz"?), and it seems to refer to the ~75-300ghz range

I was wondering why they used the term "sub-terahertz" (isn't basically the entire RF spectrum "sub-terahertz"?), and it seems to refer to the ~75-300ghz range [0][1], including the W and D bands.
While looking into this, I learned that terahertz frequencies are called THF or "tremendously high frequency"[2], which I thought was pretty funny. Pretty used to HF, VHF, UHF etc. but never heard of "THF" until now!

- pythonguython 4y agoStarting from VHF, the ITU names the bands in this order: very, ultra, super, extremely, and tremendously high. I once asked several of my friends who don’t know anything about radio to try to name the bands in ascending order after I scrambled them, and they all gave me different, incorrect answers.
