    Study Notes

    Microwave Definition and Characteristics

    • The range of microwaves is commonly defined in radio-frequency engineering as frequencies between 1 GHz and 30 GHz.
    • The prefix 'micro-' in microwave indicates a wavelength of 1 mm to 1 m, not extremely small size.

    Frequency Range and IEEE Radar Band Designations

    • The general frequency range for microwaves is between 1 GHz and 30 GHz.
    • Microwaves are often referred to by their IEEE radar band designations, including L, S, C, X, Ku, K, and Ka bands.
    • The frequency range of 1 GHz to 10 GHz is considered part of the microwaves.
    • The SHF (Super High Frequency) band, which is part of the microwave range, has boundaries of 3 GHz to 30 GHz.

    Incorrect Statements

    • VHF (Very High Frequency) band is NOT a common IEEE radar band designation for microwaves.
