sagedusriba 26 kuni 40 GHz peamiselt lähimaa-raadiosideks
upper portion of the K-band, ranging from 26 to 40 GHz
Hea teada
The Ka band is widely used in satellites, radars, vehicle detection by law enforcement, military purposes and airplanes. This radio band is directly above the K band, and its usefulness is thus also found in satellite communication. These waves travel long distances without being affected by ionization from the atmosphere and can offer great resolution with precise targets.
HTS Ka-band beams are much more focused, resulting in high powered spot beams lit over specific regions. Much higher throughput can be achieved using the same amount of bandwidth, driving down the cost of the spectrum and the cost per bit. Ka-band spot beams often have 10 times more capacity than traditional Ku-band satellites.
