Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering : Avionics - Quiz(MCQ)
What is the reason for shifting from c band to ku band in satellite communication?
A)
More bandwidth
B)
Overcrowding
C)
Lesser attenuation
D)
Less power requirements

Correct Answer :   Overcrowding


Explanation : Most new communication satellites will operate in the Ku band. This upward shift in frequency is happening because the C band is overcrowded. Many communication satellites are in orbit now, most of them operating in the C band. However, there is some difficulty with interference because of the heavy usage. The only way this interference will be minimized is to shift all future satellite communication to higher frequencies.
