The X band is the designation for a band of frequencies in the microwave radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In some cases, such as in communication engineering , the frequency range of the X band is rather indefinitely set at approximately 7.0–11.2 GHz .
x Band Satellite Communication operates in the part of the X band or Super High Frequency (SHF) spectrum which is designated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for satellite communication, which is those frequencies in the range 7.25 GHz to 7.75 GHz (Space to Earth) and 7.9 GHz to 8.4 GHz (Earth to Space).

The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are ...
Radar-frequency bands according to IEEE standard [17] Band designation Frequency range Explanation of meaning of letters; HF: 0.003 to 0.03 GHz: High frequency [18] VHF: 0.03 to 0.3 GHz: Very high frequency [18] UHF: 0.3 to 1 GHz: Ultra-high frequency [18] L: 1 to 2 GHz: Long wave S: 2 to 4 GHz: Short wave C: 4 to 8 GHz: Compromise between S ...
The 3-centimeter or 10 GHz band is a portion of the SHF radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio and amateur satellite use on a secondary basis. The amateur radio band is between 10.00 GHz and 10.50 GHz, and the amateur satellite band is between 10.45 GHz and 10.50 GHz. The allocations are the same in all three ITU regions. [1]
Shortwave bands are frequency allocations for use within the shortwave radio spectrum (the upper medium frequency [MF] band and all of the high frequency [HF] band). Radio waves in these frequency ranges can be used for very long distance (transcontinental) communication because they can reflect off layers of charged particles in the ionosphere and return to Earth beyond the horizon, a ...
The 9-centimeter band is a portion of the SHF radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio and amateur satellite use. The amateur radio band, in ITU regions 1 and 2, is between 3.300 GHz and 3.500 GHz, and it is available only on a secondary basis. The amateur satellite band is between 3.400 GHz and 3.410 GHz, and it is only ...
The 2.5-millimeter or 122 GHz band is a portion of the EHF radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio use between 122.250 GHz and 123.000 GHz. [1]The band is close to a molecular resonance of oxygen at 120 GHz, which causes significant atmospheric propagation losses, similar to that found at 60 GHz.
