We review the recent multifrequency studies of galactic black hole binaries, aiming at revealing the underlying emission processes and physical properties in these systems. The optical and infrared observations are important for determining their system parameters, such as the companion star type, orbital period and separation, inclination angle and the black hole mass. The radio observations are useful for studying high energy electron acceleration process, jet formation and transport. X-ray observations can be used to probe the inner accretion disk region in order to understand the fundamental physics of the accretion disk in the strongest gravitational field and the properties of the black hole. Future higher sensitivity and better resolution instrumentation will be needed to answer the many fundamental questions that have arisen.
