Using a high-frequency carrier wave brings the required wavelength (and hence antenna length) down to a manageable size. Section 13.6 adds two further reasons: high-frequency waves are radiated far more efficiently by a given antenna than low-frequency signals would be, and assigning different transmitters different carrier frequencies is exactly what avoids their signals mixing together at the receiver - …
