C band (IEEE)
Videos
The C band is a designation by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers for a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies ranging from 4.0 to 8.0 gigaher
The C band is used by 5 GHz Wi-fi networks, for example to connect laptops (left) to the internet through a wireless router (right)
C-band horn antennas of this type became widespread in the United States in the 1950s for terrestrial microwave relay networks.

…of frequencies from 5.925 to 6.425 GHz for their uplinks. Note that by using the band from 3.7 to 4.0 GHz, this C band overlaps somewhat with the IEEE S band for radars. The C-band communication satellites typically have 24 radio transponders spaced 20 MHz apart, but with the adjacent transponders on opposite…
