Amateur radio
Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is the use of the radio frequency spectrum for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation, self-training, private recreation, radiosport, contesting, and emergency communications.
See K band (IEEE) and Amateur radio
Amateur radio satellite
An amateur radio satellite is an artificial satellite built and used by amateur radio operators.
See K band (IEEE) and Amateur radio satellite
AMSAT
AMSAT is a name for various amateur radio satellite organizations worldwide.
Attenuation
In physics, attenuation (in some contexts, extinction) is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium.
See K band (IEEE) and Attenuation
Hertz
The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an American 501(c)(3) professional association for electronics engineering, electrical engineering, and other related disciplines.
See K band (IEEE) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
International Telecommunication Union
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)French: Union Internationale des Télécommunications is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for many matters related to information and communication technologies.
See K band (IEEE) and International Telecommunication Union
ITU Radio Regulations
The ITU Radio Regulations (RR) is a basic document of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) that regulates on law of nations scale radiocommunication services and the utilisation of radio frequencies.
See K band (IEEE) and ITU Radio Regulations
J band (NATO)
The NATO J band is the designation given to the radio frequencies from 10 to 20 GHz (equivalent to wavelengths between 3 and 1.5 cm).
See K band (IEEE) and J band (NATO)
K band (infrared)
In infrared astronomy, the K band is an atmospheric transmission window centered on 2.2 μm (in the near-infrared 136 THz range).
See K band (IEEE) and K band (infrared)
K band (NATO)
The NATO K band is the obsolete designation given to the radio frequencies from 20 to 40 GHz (equivalent to wavelengths between 1.5 and 0.75 cm) during the cold war period. K band (IEEE) and k band (NATO) are microwave bands and satellite broadcasting.
See K band (IEEE) and K band (NATO)
Ka band
The Ka band (pronounced as either "kay-ay band" or "ka band") is a portion of the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum defined as frequencies in the range 26.5–40 gigahertz (GHz), i.e. wavelengths from slightly over one centimeter down to 7.5 millimeters. K band (IEEE) and Ka band are microwave bands and satellite broadcasting.
Kepler space telescope
The Kepler space telescope is a defunct space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars.
See K band (IEEE) and Kepler space telescope
Ku band
The Ku band is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies from 12 to 18 gigahertz (GHz). K band (IEEE) and Ku band are microwave bands and satellite broadcasting.
Microwave
Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than other radio waves (as originally discovered) but longer than infrared waves.
See K band (IEEE) and Microwave
NASA Deep Space Network
The NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide network of spacecraft communication ground segment facilities, located in the United States (California), Spain (Madrid), and Australia (Canberra), that supports NASA's interplanetary spacecraft missions.
See K band (IEEE) and NASA Deep Space Network
Radar
Radar is a system that uses radio waves to determine the distance (ranging), direction (azimuth and elevation angles), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site.
Radar speed gun
A radar speed gun, also known as a radar gun, speed gun, or speed trap gun, is a device used to measure the speed of moving objects.
See K band (IEEE) and Radar speed gun
Radio spectrum
The radio spectrum is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with frequencies from 3 Hz to 3,000 GHz (3 THz).
See K band (IEEE) and Radio spectrum
Satellite television
Satellite television is a service that delivers television programming to viewers by relaying it from a communications satellite orbiting the Earth directly to the viewer's location. K band (IEEE) and satellite television are satellite broadcasting.
See K band (IEEE) and Satellite television
Super high frequency
Super high frequency (SHF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies (RF) in the range between 3 and 30 gigahertz (GHz).
See K band (IEEE) and Super high frequency
Water vapor
Water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water.
See K band (IEEE) and Water vapor
1.2-centimeter band
The 1.2-centimeter or 24 GHz band is a portion of the SHF (microwave) radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio and amateur satellite use.
See K band (IEEE) and 1.2-centimeter band
