  Millimeter or AEHF Satellites technology

  Substantially more spectrum bandwidth is available at the Ka band than at the Ku band and other lower frequencies. For example, Ku band allocation is around 2GHz for uplink and 1.3GHz for downlink with actual contiguous bandwidth allocation of less than 0.5GHz per satellite. In comparison, the Ka band SATCOM …
