…6/4 gigahertz, or in the Ku band, in which uplink/downlink frequencies are in the range of 14/11 gigahertz. These frequency bands have been selected to exploit spectral “windows,” or regions within the microwave band in which there is low atmospheric attenuation and low external noise. Different microwave frequencies are used…
