Depends on the radar. Often C-Band is used (4-8GHz). This frequency is good since rain is quite reflective for it, and it doesn't attenuate as much as the higher X or K band frequencies.
Ship use radar for navigation and collision avoidance. The radar set on most board are equip with what is called the ARPA set which are a set of navigation aid that allow ranges baring and content baring to be examined. (when a constant bearing exist am risk of collision exists. Marine radar also allows the establishment of radar tracks to track boat, buoy and land masses. Some radar systems as also equipped transponder modes that work be transmitting on one frequency and listening on another, system such as this are used for Raycon Boys and search and rescue beacons. Marine radar fall into three classes S band 3GHz long range and low weather susceptible, X Band 9.375GHz closer range and can also see rain squalls etc and FMCW wideband radar witch is used for close range low power and port and marine navigation.
WB band frequency radio options typically allow users to access a range of weather and emergency broadcasts, providing real-time updates on severe weather alerts and safety information. They can also be used for FM radio listening, allowing users to tune into various local stations. Additionally, some WB band radios may include features like NOAA Weather Radio, which offers continuous broadcasts of weather information from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Overall, these radios serve as essential tools for staying informed during emergencies and for everyday entertainment.
That would be sound waves, or the audio spectrum.
The XM Radio satellites use S-band frequencies from 2,332.50 through 2,345.00 MHz.
26B typically refers to the specific frequency band within the HF (high frequency) spectrum, specifically around 26 MHz. This band is commonly used for various radio communication purposes, such as amateur radio, shortwave broadcasting, and maritime mobile communications.
It is a carrier Frequency Band between 26.5GHz and 40GHz
X-band radar offers higher resolution and greater sensitivity, making it better suited for detecting smaller objects and providing detailed imagery, which is advantageous in applications like weather monitoring and air traffic control. However, its higher frequency also means it is more susceptible to attenuation from rain and atmospheric conditions, leading to reduced range and performance in adverse weather compared to S-band radar. S-band radar, while offering lower resolution, has better penetration through precipitation, making it more reliable for long-range detection and monitoring in various weather conditions.
C-Band Doppler Radar is any Doppler radar system which operates in the C-Band of the electromagnetic spectrum (around 4.8Ghz). These are typically the radar systems seen at TV stations as they are affordable and powerful enough for their purposes.
The MSTAR is the Man-portable Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar. It is an all-weather battlefield Doppler radar that operates in the J band.

The L band and S band frequencies differ in their applications and characteristics. The L band is lower in frequency and is commonly used for satellite communications and navigation systems. It has better penetration through obstacles like buildings and foliage. On the other hand, the S band is higher in frequency and is often used for radar and weather monitoring. It has a shorter range but offers higher data transfer rates.

Not really. For years they have been using K band and Ka band. Yet fairly recently they have mostly phased out the use of K band. New Zealand is allowed to use the same three Ka band frequencies which are used in the USA. These Ka frequencies are 33.8, 34.7 and 35.5. The 34.7 Ka frequency is the easiest to detect with any quality radar detector. The 35.5 frequency is poorly detected by some radar detector brands, notably Cobra. The 33.8 Ka frequency may be only fairly well detected by dome radar detector brands.
RADAR = RAdio Detection And RangingRadio waves in the microwave band are used to measure the speed of cars using a technique called "Doppler RADAR", by measuring the change in frequency of the returned waves.These waves are electromagnetic waves.
NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar), is a network of 159 S-band Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service. It scans air movements and tracks active weather.
A three band radar detector can read signals from 3 different band widths. This comes in handy with the new types of police equiptment out there.
It depends on the frequency; The equation for wavelength is 300/frequency in megahertz. A radio emitting energy at 30MHz is producing waves 10 meters long.But since radars usually work up in the SHF and EHF spectra, the wavelengths are measured in centimeters or millimeters. An example: You are a cop who catches speeders with a K-band radar. It, like every other K-band radar, emits at 24.150GHz, or 24,150MHz. So...using that equation, you will find the wavelength is 1.2 centimeters.
