Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'superhigh' (= very high) combined with 'frequency' (= rate) yields the clear sense of a very high frequency. While the precise technical band (3–30 GHz) is specialized knowledge, an average B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer the general meaning 'very high frequency' without prior exposure.
Etymology
The term superhigh frequency comes from radio engineers who split radio waves into groups by how quickly they repeated, and the highest group was called 'super high'. So superhigh frequency means the very fast radio waves used for radar, microwave links, and satellite communication.
