Signal frequency range (3.70-4.20ghz).

An analog band in the 4 GHz to 6 GHz range on a satellite system for sending and/or receiving information.

C-Band analog satellite broadcast transmission: Voice/Video, On-Site or Remote. Like Ku band, most sites have C band analog dishes.

A category of satellite transmission in the 6 GHz range. C-band transmission generally requires a large antenna, or 'downlink dish' 10 – 12 feet in diameter, because of its use of longer wavelength frequencies when compared with other transmission systems, such as Ku-band.

The 3.7 - 4.2 GHz (Gigahertz) frequency band is used for the distribution of programming by virtually all satellite/cable networks. There are 22 C-Band satellites in operation over North America today. They range in power from 5-11 watts per transponder, requiring receive antennas of 5-12 feet in diameter. Beginning in 1992, the fleet was gradually replaced with higher powered (10-17 watt) satellites. This allows the average size of a C-Band installation to be reduced to 90 inches in diameter.

A band of frequencies in the 4 to 8 GHz frequency transmission range that are used for satellite and terrestrial communications.

A group of frequencies used for satellite transmission.

Frequency range from approximately 4 to 6 gigahertz (billion cycles per second) used by communications satellites. (See also: Frequency, Ku-Band)

The portion of the microwave spectrum (4,000-8,000 MHz) used most widely for distribution of video programs by satellite to cable systems.

Frequencies in the 4 to 6 GHz range used both by terrestrial microwave links and for satellite links.

Portion of the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum, including waves with frequencies comprised between 4 and 8 GHz (corresponding to wavelengths ranging between 7.5 to 3. 75 cm).

The 3,7 to 4,2 GHz range in the frequency band.

The band of frequencies from 3,65 to 4.20 GHz at which some TV broadcasting satellites operate.

While most smaller satellite TV providers have begun offering high-speed Internet to their customers, C-Band is the first to offer the service to owners of the old model larger dishes. The principal is still the same. The Internet signal is beamed down and users can surf the web and download like any other high-speed connection. Users cannot upload however, as that would require a transmitter powerful enough to reach space.

Refers to the frequency in the 4 GHz to 6 GHz range. It is susceptible to terrestrial microwave interference, which is a particular problem in cities and urban areas of world-wide coverage, and is less susceptible to rain and weather fades, than Ku-band. Typically used for DTH and telecommunications.

The designation for satellite communications operating at 6 Ghz (billion cycles per second) uplink and 4 Ghz downlink. These frequencies are also used for terrestrial Microwave.

Satellite transmissions in the 4 to 6 gigahertz (gHz) portion of the microwave spectrum.

A range of microwave frequencies, 3.7~4.2 GHz, commonly used for satellite communications.

Colloquially, a frequency band between 4 GHz and 6 GHz used in satellite communications.

A range of microwave radio frequencies in the neighborhood of 4 to 8 GHz, used for spacecraft communications on Mercury and Gemini flights (~5 Ghz).

Satellite services operating on a much lower frequency than Ku-band. It was used mainly for signal distribution in the past, but more powerful transponders can also be used for direct-to-home purposes. A C-band footprint is normally much bigger than a Ku-band footprint.

Band of frequencies from 4 to 6 GHz (billion cycles per second) that are used by most communications satellites and cable systems. Requires large ground antennas, usually 6 to 12 feet in diameter. See also Ku-band.

The frequency range between 3.4-4.2, 4.5-4.8 and 5.85-7.075 GHz, also known as the 4/6 GHz band. Typically used for television broadcast and telecommunications services.

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allotted for satellite transmission in the 4 to 8 GHz frequency transmission range.

The original range of frequencies used by communications satellites. Same as for terrestrial microwave systems, so power had to be limited to avoid interference.

Frequencies of approximately 4 to 6 GHz for satellite downlink and uplink transmission, respectively.

A satellite communications frequency band and a name given to satellites that use this band for communication purposes. Commercial C-band satellites and the older and more established of the contemporary communications satellite fleet.

Refers to the frequency in the 3.4 GHz to 7 GHz range. Portions of this band are dedicated to satellite communications. Satellite downlinks are 3.7 to 4.2 GHz.

One of two common satellite frequency bands (Ku-band is the other). C-band earth stations use the 6 GHz frequency band to transmit and the 4 GHz frequency band to receive.

A type of satellite transmission with less path loss than other satellite standards such as Ku-band. C-band, however, requires a relatively large antenna. C-band frequencies are shared with terrestrial microwave transmissions, which can cause interference with weaker satellite signals in certain areas.

The microwave section of the electromagnetic spectrum containing frequencies from 4-8 GHz, with wavelengths at or near 5.6cm. The RADARSAT and ERS satellites operate at C-band.

The frequency band between 4 and 8 GHz with the 6 and 4 GHz band being used for satellite communications.

Frequencies from 3.9 to 6.2 GHz.

Satellite transmissions used in older homes Ñ requires a large 6-8 foot antenna.

Frequency band between 4 and 8 GHz with the 4 and 6 GHz frequencies being used for satellite communications: 3.7 to 4.2 GHz as downlink frequencies in tandem with 5.925 to 6,425 GHz as the uplink. C-Band is less susceptible to rain and weather than Ku-band. However, C-Band is susceptible to terrestrial microwave interference which is a particular problem in urban areas.

This is the designation for the frequency band between 4 and 8 GHz. Satellite uplink transmissions typically use a range from 5.925 GHz to 6.425 GHz. Satellite downlink transmissions typically use a range from 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz.

A portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, approximately 4GHz to 6GHz, that is used primarily for satellite and microwave transmission.

The wavelength range between 1530 nm and 1562 nm used in some CWDM and DWDM applications
