Who uses Ku band?

Operating in the 4 to 8 GHz frequency range, C-band satellite coverage is ideal for intercontinental and global communications over land and sea.

Ku-band (12–18 GHz ) Used for satellite communications. In Europe, Ku-band downlink is used from 10.7 GHz to 12.75 GHz for direct broadcast satellite services, such as Astra.

The Ku band is mainly used for satellite communications, especially downlink, used by direct-transmission satellites for satellite television and specific applications such as the NASA’s Tracking Data Relay Satellite used for both the space shuttle and for communications from the International Space Station (ISS).

The Ku-Band as defined by IEEE is a frequency range from 12 to 18 GHz . IEEE uses letters to signify a range of frequencies from 1 to 170 GHz. The Ku-band is mostly used for satellite TV and for VSAT systems on ships.12 Ağu 2019
