The Q band of the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum and ranges from 33 to 50 GHz. It sits above, and partly overlaps with, the U.S. IEEE designated Ka band (26.5 to 40 GHz). It sits below the U.S. IEEE designated V band (50–75 GHz) in frequency.
The Q band is used for radio astronomy studies such as the QUIET telescope. It is also used in automotive radar, and radar investigating the properties of the Earth's surface[1]
