/ˌəltrəˈʃɔrt/

Forms: Also ultrashort.

Etymology: ultra- prefix 3.

a. Radio. Applied to radio waves significantly shorter than the usual ‘short waves’: in modern use, shorter than 10 metres, corresponding to a frequency greater than 30 MHz (i.e. in the VHF range).

1926 E. V. Appleton in Proc. Cambr. Philos. Soc. 23 155 (heading) On the diurnal variation of ultra~short wave wireless transmission. [Note] The term ‘ultra~short’ is here applied to wave-lengths less than the critical band indicated by the magneto-ionic theory (i.e. about 200 meters). It seems desirable, for historical reasons, to retain the term ‘short waves’ for the broadcasting wave-lengths 200–600 metres.

1935 Discovery Sept. 278/1 A difficulty is..the limited range of these ultra-short wave~lengths, as we are dependent upon the direct waves propagated more or less parallel to the earth's surface.

1947 Nature 4 Jan. 16/1 The electrical interference from motor~car ignition systems..is a serious factor in the reception of ultra-short waves.

1974 Radio Engin. & Electronic Physics Dec. 20 (heading) Multiple diffractor amplification of ultrashort waves.

b. gen. Extremely short (in length or duration).
