L band radars operate on a wavelength of 15-30 cm and a frequency of 1-2 GHz . L band radars are mostly used for clear air turbulence studies. S band radars operate on a wavelength of 8-15 cm and a frequency of 2-4 GHz. Because of the wavelength and frequency, S band radars are not easily attenuated.
Read moreWhat is L-band frequency used for?
L band waves are used for GPS units because they are able to penetrate clouds, fog, rain, storms, and vegetation. Only dense environments such as heavy forest canopies or concrete buildings can cause GPS units to receive data inaccurately.
Read moreWhat does the L in L-band stand for?
The L-band, ranging from 1565 nm to 1625 nm, stands for the long-wavelength band (see Figure 1). It is the second primary wavelength band used for optical communication, because attenuation of optical fiber in the L-band is the second lowest after the C-band.

Read moreWhat is the frequency for satellite communication?
Satellite Communication (satcom) is based on a specific range of frequencies. The useable radio spectrum ranges from 1Ghz to 300Ghz , where its use for communications ends as the signal becomes infrared, X-Ray and visible light. For maritime satcom, we use the frequencies from 1Ghz up to approx. 30Ghz.
Read moreWhat is the bandwidth of C-band satellite frequency?
C band Satellite bandwidth C band satellite has uplink frequency in the range from 5925 to 6425 MHz and downlink in the range from 3700 to 4200 MHz . Different satellites have different number of transponders. Each of this transponder occupy part of the total satellite bandwidth (BW) i.e. 500 MHz.
