Talk:Ku band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If the Ku-band starts at 11.7Ghz, how come I'm currently watching a "Ku-band" satellite channel on 10,714Mhz. Articles here claim that thats actually in the X band? --Kiand 03:31, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Acturally, the LNB (located at your satellite dishes) will modulate the Ku band waves into IR freq., which can be transmited in TV cables with much less lost than the Ku band. Your reciver is designed to recive the IR, not the Ku band. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.93.103.99 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Kurz?
The {{verify}} is for the veracity of the German "kurz" etymology in K band. See also Talk:K band. —Fleminra 02:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Video conferencing
Can Ku band support a good video conferencing with multiple locations connected?? any experiance could be shared. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deepasubi (talk • contribs) Deepasubi.
[edit] Ku-band in Indonesia
The International Telecommunication Union, ITU, has categorized Indonesia as Region P, countries with very high rain precipitation. This statement made many people unsure about using Ku-Band (11 – 18 GHz) in Indonesia. If we use frequencies higher than 10 GHz, then the hard rain occurred, it would cause a decrease in communication “availability.” This problem, actually, can be solved by predicting the suitable model that should be used when carrying out wireless communication link. Measurements of rain attenuation in Indonesia have been done for satellite communication links in Padang, Cibinong, Surabaya and Bandung. It has been found out, after due analysis, that the DAH Model for rain attenuation prediction is valid for Indonesia, besides the ITU Model. The DAH Model has become an ITU Recommendation since 2001 (Recommendation No. ITU-R P.618-7). This model can create 99.7% available link so that Ku-Band can be applied in Indonesia. The use of the Ku-band for satellite communications in tropical regions like Indonesia seems to become more frequent. Several satellites “parked” above Indonesia have Ku-band transponders, and even Ka-band transponders. Just look at the satellite owned by NewSkies (NSS 6), launched in December 2002 and positioned at 95° East, containing only Ku-band transponders and with a footprint directed to Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Moluccas). This is also the case for the iPSTAR satellite, to be launched in 2004. The Ku-band footprint directed towards Indonesia has been named by Measat the “Ku-band for Indonesia”. Measat 4 is planned to cover the whole of Indonesia from West to East. This satellite will be launched by Malaysia in 2007. Asni Harismi 07:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
