SatcoDX Satellite ChartColumn Explanation |
| Freq. GHz | Downlink Frequency in GHz (Giga Hertz) |
|
The frequency the satellite uses to beam the transmission down to Earth. This is known as the "downlink" frequency - as opposed to the frequency used to send the transmission to the satellite in the first place, which is known as the "uplink" frequency. There are two main frequency bands in use; the C-Band with downlink frequencies in the 3 and 4 GHz range, and the Ku-Band with frequencies in the 10, 11 and 12 GHz range. 1 GHz = 1000 MHz = 1000000 kHz = 1000000000 Hz. (Hz = Hertz). Example: 3.456 GHz = 3456 MHz | |
