Transmission bands
Previous (Station coverage)Index (Tutorial: Satellite Data Reception)Next (CCRS antennas)

Remote sensing satellites typically use a small part (approximately 8.02 to 8.4 GHz) of the X-band for downlinking of Earth observation data. This "raw" or "signal" data will eventually be used to produce imagery.

Microwave X-band portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
