Morphology
The phrase denotes a 'middle-range frequency' and this is directly derivable from combining 'medium' (middle/intermediate) with 'frequency' (rate/oscillation), so the basic meaning is compositional. The exact technical band (300–3000 kHz) is domain-specific knowledge, but a B1 learner who knows both constituent words will understand the general sense, making it transparent.
Etymology
Medium frequency comes from medium ('in the middle') and frequency ('how often a wave happens'). Think of radio waves as slow, medium, or fast; the medium frequency band is the 'middle' band used by AM radios and ship radios today, so the name means the radio waves in the middle range.
