It represents a continuous uniform distribution, with given min and max values, and all intermediate values having equal probability:

(Eq. 140)
This example returns frequencies that will operate at 900.937 MHz, for another snapshot it will be 904.916 MHz, etc…

The continuous nature of this function results in that the trial returns double floating point number within the range (min, max) with the same probability (0,1). This means that this function is not suitable e.g. to define frequency hopping pattern, since the latter would usually occur within a set of (pre-defined) discrete channels. Such cases can be modelled using Discrete uniform function described below.
