microwavespectrum
Microwave spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum occupied by microwaves, typically defined as about 1 to 300 gigahertz, corresponding to wavelengths from 30 centimeters to 1 millimeter. Some sources extend the term into the hundreds of megahertz, but the microwave range is commonly associated with higher-frequency bands used for line-of-sight communications and sensing.
Propagation in the microwave range is strongly influenced by atmospheric conditions and path geometry. The atmosphere
Applications include radar, satellite and terrestrial point-to-point links, wireless backhaul for cellular networks, and various consumer
Regulation of the microwave spectrum is managed by international and national authorities, notably the ITU. Spectrum
