Satellite Spectrum

Satellite Spectrum refers to the specific range of electromagnetic frequencies allocated for the transmission of signals and data to and from satellites in orbit around the Earth. This spectrum is divided into various bands, each designated for different types of communication applications, such as satellite television, internet services, and other forms of wireless communication. The efficient use of satellite spectrum is crucial as it involves regulatory frameworks managed by international bodies to avoid interference between adjacent services and to optimize the communication capabilities of satellites. Each band within the satellite spectrum has distinct characteristics that influence its propagation, bandwidth, and the types of services it can support. Examples of satellite spectrum bands include the L-band, C-band, Ku-band, Ka-band, and others, each catering to specific technological needs and deployment scenarios in the satellite communication landscape.
