A single S-band boom antenna on each satellite (deployed after launch by a pyrotechnic device) enables the satellite to communicate with Earth . There are small backup antennas on the top of each satellite to provide backup communication as required.
Read moreWhat is band in RF?
In telecommunication, a band – sometimes called a frequency band – is a specific range of frequencies in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum , which is divided among ranges from very low frequencies (vlf) to extremely high frequencies (ehf). Each band has a defined upper and lower frequency limit.

Read moreWhat are L band microwaves used for?
The wavelength range of L band is 30–15 cm. The L band is one of the chief operating ranges used by various applications such as radars, global positioning systems (GPS), radio, telecommunications and aircraft surveillance .
Read moreWhat are the frequency ranges for LW MW and SW?
Sometimes a division by wavelength is used: Short wave (SW): Wavelengths of 10-200m hence frequencies of 1.5-33 MHz ; there are several sub-bands. Medium wave (MW): Wavelengths of 200-1000m hence frequencies of 300 kHz-1.5 MHz. Long wave (LW): Wavelengths > 1000m hence frequencies < 300 kHz.
Read moreWhat is SW and MW?
The name “shortwave” originated during the beginning of radio in the early 20th century, when the radio spectrum was divided into long wave (LW), medium wave (MW), and short wave (SW) bands based on the length of the wave .
Read moreWhat is MW frequency?
Medium wave (MW) is the part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM radio broadcasting . The spectrum provides about 120 channels with more limited sound quality than FM stations on the FM broadcast band.
