What is the range of C-band?

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 .

C-band refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allotted for satellite transmissions in the 4GHz to 8GHz frequency range. C-band satellite antennas are used frequently in areas of the world where signals can become degraded due to heavy rain or other intense climate-related conditions.

Currently, there are some 160 satellites in the geostationary orbit using C-band frequencies for their downlink transmissions (see Figure 1).
