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.
