X-band is widely used because of the ability to utilize smaller antennas that fit on most boats and to provide better target resolution. S-band radars are often used for specialized applications, such as seeing through heavy weather or precipitation and for long-range bird detection. S-band antennas are larger.

Read moreWhat is an S band radar?
The S band is a radar-frequency band that uses short waves in the frequency range of 2 to 4 GHz . As mentioned, the main use for this band is for radar and communication.
Read moreWhy is S band radar more suitable for long-range detection than X-band radar?
Shorter wave length greater attenuation and longer wave length less attenuation .
Read moreWhat is X-band radar used for?
X band radar frequency sub-bands are used in civil, military, and government institutions for weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime vessel traffic control, defense tracking, and vehicle speed detection for law enforcement . X band is often used in modern radars.
Read moreWhat are the benefits of the S band radar?
The Power to Predict With the ultimate long-range view, the EEC S-Band radar gives you the ability to plan, predict and protect – before severe weather strikes . This massive power makes our S-Band systems ideal for covering huge expanses of land and water, analyzing multiple fronts of heavy precipitation.
