C-band
Radar wavelength range
C-band is a range of radio frequencies used for satellite communications, radar, and wireless networks.
In satellite terminology, C-band typically spans 4 to 8 gigahertz, valued for its resistance to rain fade and atmospheric interference.
The band has been reallocated in some regions to make room for 5G cellular networks, displacing existing satellite users.
