Microwave frequency bands range from 300 MHz to 300 GHz. Different bands are used for various applications: - L band (1-2 GHz) is used for GPS, mobile phones, satellites, and wireless networks. - S band (2-4 GHz) is used for weather radar, communications satellites, WiFi, and microwave ovens. - C band (4-8 GHz) is used for satellite TV and communications under adverse weather.

Microwave frequency bands:
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz.

Letter Designation Frequency range Applications


Amateur radio service, some communications satellites, Global
Positioning System carriers are in the L band, GSM mobile phones,
L band 1 to 2 GHz
satellite phones, Digital Audio Broadcasting (World-Space satellite radio).
L band is also used in optical communications
Short wave band: weather radar, surface ship radar, some
communications satellites, amateur radio and amateur television
operators, wireless network equipment compatible with IEEE
S band 2 to 4 GHz 802.11b and 802.11g standards use the 2.4 GHz section of the S
band, digital cordless telephones, and microwave ovens. IEEE
802.16a and 802.16e standards utilize a part of the frequency range
of S band too.
the microwave frequencies of the C-band perform better in
comparison with Ku band under adverse weather conditions. It is
used for open satellite communications, whether for full-time
C band 4 to 8 GHz
satellite TV networks or raw satellite feeds. Depending on the
region of the world it is used for IEEE 802.11a Wi-Fi and cordless
telephone applications
Radars (weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime vessel
traffic control, defense tracking, vehicle speed detection), Satellite
X band 8 to 12 GHz
communications, deep space telecommunications, motion detection
(traffic light crossing detectors)
Mainly used for satellite communications, terrestrial microwave
communications, and radar, especially police traffic-speed
Ku band 12 to 18 GHz
detectors.

K band 18 to 26.5 GHz Radar Applications


K-above band: mainly used for radar and experimental
Ka band 26.5 to 40 GHz
communications
satellite communications, terrestrial microwave communications
Q band 33 to 50 GHz and for radio astronomy studies, automotive radar, and radar
investigating the properties of the Earth's surface
Wireless HD, next generation wireless digital network interface,
U band 40 to 60 GHz Wireless Gigabit Ethernet, point-to-point high-bandwidth
communication links
millimeter wave radar research and other kinds of scientific
V band 50 to 75 GHz research, primarily used for high capacity, short distance (less than
1 mile) communications
E band 60 to 90 GHz Used for short range, high bandwidth communications.
satellite communications, millimeter wave radar research, military
W band 75 to 110 GHz radar targeting and tracking applications, Active Denial System
(Less-than-lethal weaponry), automotive cruise control radar
F band 90 to 140 GHz Used in stellators and in experimental fusion reactors
D band 110 to 170 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating in thermo nuclear reactors
