[!TLDR]

Antenna length is inversely proportional to signal frequency.

For efficient radiation an antenna must be comparable to the signal wavelength, usually about λ/4\lambda/4. Since λ=c/f\lambda = c/f, a higher frequency gives a shorter wavelength and hence a shorter antenna. This is one key reason a low-frequency message is shifted onto a high-frequency carrie …
