Usage

edit

Without parameters

edit

For the sake of backward compatibility, the upper infobox opposite only appears if |freq= is passed. If freq is not passed, only the lower radio-bands sidebar will be shown.

With parameters

edit
Frequency band
Frequency range
75 to 110 GHz
Related bands

For example:

{{MWband
| name = Frequency band
| freq = 75 to 110 [[Hertz|GHz]]
| bands = {{hlist |[[V band]] |[[M band (NATO)|M band]]}}
}}

If a list (e.g. of bands) consists of more than a couple of items,

{{Unbulleted list|class=nowrap |...}}

is likely to produce a more reader-friendly result than

{{hlist(|item_style=white-space:nowrap;) |...}}.

Note: As entries for frequency and wavelength ranges include spaces (between numbers, ndashes, units), these fields do not word/linewrap. If, therefore, a newline/carriage-return is required in one of these fields, use e.g. <br/> or format the field with {{br separated entries}} or {{Unbulleted list}}.

With name2 parameter

edit
Frequency band
NATO frequency band
Frequency range
40–60 GHz
Related bands
IEEE frequency band
Frequency range
1–2 GHz
Related bands

If the name2 parameter is passed, the second set of parameters is also used and the template's overall heading is now specified by title rather than name. For example:

{{MWband
| title = Frequency band
| name = NATO frequency band
| freq = 40–60 [[Hertz|GHz]]
| bands = {{Unbulleted list|class=nowrap |[[V band]] (IEEE) |[[Extremely high frequency|EHF]] (ITU)}}
| name2 = IEEE frequency band
| freq2 = 1–2 GHz
| bands2 = {{Unbulleted list|class=nowrap |[[D band (NATO)|D band]] (NATO) |[[Super high frequency|SHF]] (ITU)}}
}}
