Answer:

d.3.4 - 6.7 GHz

Step-by-step explanation:

The C-Band is a spectrum of frequencies used by satellites to send and receive signals they use the spectrum from 3.7ghz-4.2 GHz frequencies to download things and the 5.925-6.425 GHz for their uplinks, they use thisfrequencies because rain or storms do not have any effect on their sending or recieving parts and are very stable, this is the permit that the Institute of Electrical and Electronis Enginees has designated as C-Band.

Answer:

d. 3.4 - 6.7 GHz

Step-by-step explanation:

IEEE classifies electromagnetic spectrum into multiple bands by frequency range:

These include the following(from 0.003 GHz - 300 GHz):

  • HF
  • VHF
  • UHF
  • L
  • S
  • C
  • X
  • Ku
  • K
  • Ka
  • V
  • W
  • mmWave

Of these C band has the frequency range between 3.4-6.7 GHz.

The C Band is utilized by several satellites and radar platforms. Some wireless devices,cordless telephones and medical equipments also make use of C band frequencies in the 5.8GHz ISM range.
