S band

The S band is a range of radio frequencies used primarily for satellite communications, radar systems, and some Wi-Fi connections. It falls within the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically between 2 and 4 gigahertz (GHz). Because of its wavelength, the S band offers a good balance of range and detail, making it effective for tracking weather patterns, aircraft, and communications with spacecraft. Its ability to penetrate clouds and weather conditions better than higher frequencies makes it reliable for various applications, especially in aviation and meteorology.
