This document discusses the applications of different radar frequency bands, ranging from HF to mm bands. It provides examples of common uses for each band, such as military communication in HF bands, air traffic control in VHF bands, weather radar and ship radar in S bands, Wi-Fi and satellite TV in C bands, and satellite communication, vehicle detection, and astronomy in Ku, K, Ka, V, W, and mm bands. The applications described indicate how specific frequency ranges are utilized for different wireless technologies and radar systems.
The main usesof the HF
spectrum are:
• Military and governmental
communication systems
• Aviation air-to-ground
communications
• Amateur radio
• Over the horizon radar systems
Application of VHFband
87-108 MHz: Radio broadcast
108–118 MHz: Air navigation beacons VOR
and Instrument Landing System localiser.
118–137 MHz: Airband for air traffic control,
AM, 121.5 MHz is emergency frequency
144–146 MHz: Amateur radio. In some
countries 144–148 MHz.
7.
Application of UHFband
300 – 420 MHz: Meteorology and
federal two-way use
420 – 450 MHz: Government
radiolocation and 70cm ham radio band
450 – 470 MHz: UHF Business Band,
GMRS, FRS, public safety
