It’s because lower frequencies get reflected by atmospheric bands and cannot penetrate to get through to the satellite . … Therefore, mobile-to-base station (uplink) frequencies are lower than base station-to-mobile(downlink) frequencies.
Read moreHow is network frequency calculated?
Mathematically, Frequency = f = c/λ . The frequency is expressed in “per second” or “Hertz”, abbreviated as Hz. In real life networks, the frequency is expressed in Megahertz (MHz) or Gigahertz (GHz).
