The 38 GHz ITU wireless band, as defined by the ITU Radio Regulations ITU-R F.749, is a frequency band allocated for radio communication services. This band, also known as the IEEE Ka band, ranges from 36 to 40.5 GHz . It is primarily used for fixed wireless communication, such as point-to-point microwave links for backhaul networks. The high frequency of the 38 GHz band allows for large bandwidths and high data rates, making it ideal for high-capacity transmission links. However, due to its high frequency, it has limited range and is more susceptible to atmospheric attenuation, particularly due to rain.
