The K u band (/ ˌ k eɪ ˈ j uː /) is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies from 12 to 18 gigahertz (GHz). The symbol is short for "K-under" (originally German: Kurz-unten), because it is the lower part of the original NATO K band, which was split into three bands (K u, K, and K a) because of the presence of the atmospheric water vapor resonance ...
A satellite minidish. This is a list of the free-to-air channels that are currently available via satellite from SES Astra satellites (Astra 2E/2F/2G) at orbital position 28.2 °E, serving Ireland and the United Kingdom. Sky and Freesat use these satellites to deliver their channels. If one was to change providers between Sky and Freesat, one ...
Free-to-air (FTA) services are television (TV) and radio services broadcast in unencrypted form, allowing any person with the appropriate receiving equipment to receive the signal and view or listen to the content without requiring a subscription, other ongoing cost, or one-off fee (e.g., pay-per-view).
Gogo Ground to Orbit uses a Ku-band satellite antenna for the downlink to the plane and Gogo's Air to Ground for uplink from the plane. Ground to Orbit is in service over the United States, providing peak download speeds of 60 Mbit/s. Virgin America was the launch partner of this service. [24]
T4S was the first satellite for DirecTV to employs spot beams. This technology reuses the same frequencies on multiple spot beams to reach the major television markets where DirecTV delivers the signals of local network affiliates. The satellite carried two Ku-band payloads: spot beams for local channels, and a national beam payload.
150 watts (Ku band),70 watts (C band) ABS-3A is a communications satellite operated by ABS (formerly known as Asia Broadcast Satellite ), providing coverage in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. [2] It is positioned in geostationary orbit at 3° West, and offers C and Ku-band payload capacity to support video, data, mobility and ...
Today, Anik F3 is used by Dish to beam its "international" foreign language channel offerings. A slightly larger reflector provided by Dish to its customers is required to receive the weaker (as compared to the stronger Ku DBS band used by Dish and DirecTV as their primary satellites) Ku FSS band reliably. Also, Dish uses a specially designed ...
