Encyclopedia > K band

K band is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the microwave range of frequencies ranging between 12 to 63 GHz. K band between 18 and 26.5 GHz is absorbed easily by water vapor (H2O resonance peak at 22.24 GHz, 1.35 cm).


The NATO K-band is defined as frequency band between 20–40 GHz (7.5-15 mm).

MAPCOR H and K Band Glint Problems (1398 words)
So in the K band there are (75-12=) 70 new glints that would have appeared in an old catalog, but not in the new.
As an aside, for the 2nd K band glint, the fraction of real sources called glints which are found in the outer 1.4 mag of the 3.0 mag "allowable window" half-width can be roughly estimated.
While examining 12 "new" 2nd K band glints in the images, I found that 6 of the sources were 3-band extractions, which are thus marked as a glint only in the K band.
