Satellite Communications

Purpose: To allow communications across large expanses of land for cellular and other telecommunications.

Issues: All of these frequencies are EMF frequencie that are biologically active.  They will effect your health and DNA.

SPACE COMMUNICATION BANDS

The following is a list of some of the more heavily used frequency bands for space communication. Specific frequencies may be found in the links provided at the end of this note.

  • VHF Band
    • 136 - 138 MHz
      This band was used heavily by many different types of satellites in the past. Today (2012), most activity is restricted to 137-138 MHz (which is the current allocation) and consists of meteorological satellites transmitting data and low resolution images, together with low data rate mobile satellite downlinks (eg Orbcomm)
    • 144 - 146 MHz
      One of the most popular bands for amateur satellite activity. Most of the links are found in the upper half of the band (145 - 146 MHz). 
    • 148 - 150 MHz
      This tends to be used for uplinks of the satellites that downlink in the 137 - 138 MHz band. 
    • 149.95 - 150.05 MHz
      This is used by satellites providing positioning, time and frequency services, by ionospheric research and other satellites. Before the advent of GPS it was home to large constellations of US and Russian satellites that provided positioning information (mainly to marine vessels) by use of the Doppler effect). Many satellites transmitting on this band also transmit a signal on 400 MHz.
    • 240 - 270 MHz 
      Military satellites, communications. This band lies in the wider frequency allocation (225 - 380 MHz) assigned for military aviation.

UHF Band

  • 399.9 - 403 MHz 
    This band includes navigation, positioning, time and frequency standard, mobile communication, and meteorological satellites. Around 400 MHz is a companion band for satellites transmitting on 150 MHz. 
  • 432 - 438 MHz 
    This range includes a popular amateur satellite band as well as a few Earth resources satellites.
  • 460 - 470 MHz  
    Meteorological and environmental satellites, includes uplink frequencies for remote environmental data sensors.

L Band

  • 1.2 - 1.8 GHz  
    This frequency range includes a very diverse range of satellites and encompasses many sub-allocations. This range includes the GPS and other GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems - Russian Glonass, European Galileo, Chinese Beidou). It also hosts SARSAT/COSPAS search and rescue satellites which are carried on board US and Russian meteorological satellites. It also includes a mobile satellite communication band.
  • 1.67 - 1.71 GHz 
    This is one of the primary bands for high resolution meteorological satellite downlinks of data and imagery. 

S Band

  • 2.025 - 2.3 GHz  
    Space operations and research, including 'deep space' links from beyond Earth orbit. This encompasses the Unified S-band (USB) plan which is used by many spacecraft, and which was also used by the Apollo lunar missions. It also includes military space links including the US Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Many Earth resources (remote sensing) satellites downlink in this band.
  • 2.5 - 2.67 GHz 
    Fixed (point-to-point) communication and broadcast satellites, although the broadcast allocation is only used in some Asian and Middle-eastern countries. 

C Band

  • 3.4 - 4.2 GHz 
    Fixed satellite service (FSS) and broadcast satellite service (BSS) downlinks. International TV broadcast uses this allocation heavily.
  • 5.9 - 6.4 GHz 
    This is the FSS/BSS uplink for the 3.4-4.2 GHz downlink band.

X band

  • 8 - 9 GHz 
    This is used heavily for space research, deep space operations, environmental and military communication satellites. Many satellites/spacecraft carry complementary S and X band transmitters.

Ku band

  • 10.7 - 11.7 GHz 
    Fixed satellite services (FSS)
  • 11.7 - 12.2 GHz 
    Broadcast satellite service (BSS) downlinks. This band is used for domestic TV programs.
  • 14.5 - 14.8 GHz 
    The uplink for the previous Ku downlink band.
  • 17.3 - 18.1 GHz 
    An alternate 'Ku' band BSS uplink.

'Ka' band

  • 23 - 27 GHz 
    A region that will be used increasingly by a variety of fixed link, broadcast, environmental and space operations satellites in the future as more bandwidth is required than can be provided in the lower bands. The disadvantage of this band is the increased absorption due to water vapour and rain. Not very useful for tropical regions of the Earth.

Better Option:  The best you can do is to distance yourself from antennas and the areas around them.  This is where the EMF’s will be focused and thus will have the greatest effect on your health.
