Police radars commonly operate on the K band at 22 ghz.
The K band also offers a user more flexibility.
It features 24 active transponders and 12 backup transponders, all K band.
NASA as well has launched experimental satellites using the K band recently.
Detector manufacturers countered by changing their products so both X and K bands could be received.
"Sir, I'm picking something up on the K band."
Also for these higher capacity signals and in addition on the higher K band, the accuracy of the installation becomes much more critical.
It represents 38 times the capacity of a standard telecommunication satellite operating in K band.
The K band is within the J band.
The satellite delivers multiple independent spot beams in K band.
