For satellite communication the frequencies range from about 0 3 ghz vhf to 30 ghz ka band and beyond.
Satellite communication frequency power.
1 gigahertz 1 000 000 000 hertz to transmit and receive signals.
The frequency ranges or bands are identified by letters.
Operating at lower frequency and lower power than dbs fss satellites require a much larger dish for reception 3 to 8 feet 1 to 2 5 m in diameter for k u band and 12 feet 3 6 m or larger for c band.
Up link frequency is the frequency at which ground station is communicating with satellite the satellite transponder converts the signal and sends it down to the second earth station.
In order from low to high frequency l s c x ku ka and v bands.
These frequencies represent microwaves with wavelengths on the order of one meter down to below one.
The shf experiment aims to investigate about the propagation of frequencies above 10 ghz for application to satellite communication systems.
This frequency is called a downlink frequency.
As well known the propagation of these frequencies through the atmosphere is.
Frequency bands different kinds of satellites use different frequency bands l band 1 to 2 ghz s band 2 to 4 ghz c band 4 to 8 ghz x band 8 to 12 5 ghz ku band 12 5 to 26 5 ghz k band 18 to 26 5 ghz ka band.
Satellite communications use the very high frequency range of 1 50 gigahertz ghz.
