L Band

The IEEE L band refers to a range of frequencies in the radio spectrum, specifically from 1 to 2 gigahertz (GHz). This band is utilised for various applications, including satellite communication, GPSGPS: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system consisting of a network of 24 orbiting satellites. These satellites are approximately 20,180 kilometres above Earth's surface and make two complete orbits in less than 24 hours. They are built to last about 10 years, and…, mobile phones, and aircraft surveillance. The relatively long wavelength of L band frequencies allows for better penetration through obstacles such as buildings and foliage, making it ideal for both urban and rural environments.
