L-band
L-band refers to a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range, typically covering frequencies from 1 to 2 GHz. It is commonly used for various communication applications, including mobile phones, satellite communications, and radar systems. The L-band is particularly valued for its ability to penetrate through obstacles like buildings and foliage, making it effective for ground-based and aerial communications.
In satellite technology, L-band is often utilized for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS. It is also used in weather radar and some wireless communication systems, providing reliable data transmission over long distances. The frequency range allows for efficient signal propagation, which is crucial for real-time applications.
