The K-band is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that typically ranges from 18 to 27 GHz. It is commonly used in various applications, including radar systems, satellite communications, and some types of wireless networks. The K-band is known for its ability to provide high-resolution imaging and data transmission. In the context of radar, the K-band is often utilized in weather radar and speed detection systems, such as those used by law enforcement. Its shorter wavelengths allow for better detection of smaller objects, making it effective for both civilian and military purposes.
