Frequency Band and Pedestal for Weather Satellite Receiving System

Frequency Band used for Weather Satellite Receiving System include L-band, C-band, Ku-band and Ka-band etc.  The diagram of communication wavelength bands is shown below:   L-Band (1-2 GHz) As a relatively low frequency, the L-band is easier to handle, requires less complex and inexpensive RF devices, and because of the wider beam width, the antenna’s…

History and Development of International Meteorological Satellites

Meteorological satellites are artificial earth satellites that perform meteorological observations of the Earth and its atmosphere from space. The satellite carries a variety of meteorological remote sensors that receive and measure visible, infrared and microwave radiation from the Earth and its atmosphere and convert it into electrical signals for transmission to ground stations which restores…

Meteorological Satellite Application

Meteorological satellites, also called Weather satellite, are mainly used for weather analysis and forecasting, numerical weather prediction, climate monitoring and prediction, ecological and environmental monitoring, especially in the monitoring and warning of severe cyclone and mesoscale severe convective weather, and meteorological satellites can also be used for Earth observation and scientific experimental satellites. The meteorological…
