Which bands are used for satellite communication?

Which are the frequency bands used for satellite communication? The major frequency bands used for satellite communication in India are S-band, C-band, Upper Extended C band, Ku band and Ka band. The INSAT/GSAT satellites carry transponders in these bands.

What is X band transmitter?

The X-band transmitter consists of two fully cross-redundant units each including an X-band oscillator, a QPSK modulator, and a final power amplifier of 4W nominal RF output power.

What is X band used for?

X band radar frequency sub-bands are used in civil, military, and government institutions for weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime vessel traffic control, defense tracking, and vehicle speed detection for law enforcement. X band is often used in modern radars.

Which frequency band is used for connecting the satellite system?

Modern systems signals are relayed from a communications satellite on the X band (8–12 GHz) or Ku band (12–18 GHz) frequencies requiring only a small dish less than a meter in diameter.

Which frequency is used in mobile communication?

These networks, which are still used today, operate according to the GSM standard (Global System for Mobile Communications). They employ radio frequencies in the range of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz.

What are the microwave frequency bands?

1. Introduction

Electromagnetic wave spectrum Frequency band Wavelength
Radio waves Very high frequency (VHF) (30–300 MHz) 10–1 m
Microwaves Ultrahigh frequency (UHF) (300–3000 MHz) (100–10 cm)
P band (230 MHz–1 GHz) 130–30 cm
L band (1–2 GHz) 30–15 cm

Which band Cannot be used for satellite communication?

7. Which of the following bands cannot be used for satellite communication? Explanation: MF is a lower frequency band than Ku, C and X bands and does not lie in the microwave spectrum. Microwaves are used for satellite communication since the lower bands get reflected by the ionosphere.
