THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C BAND AND KU BAND
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ค. 2024
- C-band refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allotted for satellite transmissions in the 4GHz to 8GHz frequency range. C-band satellite antennas are used frequently in areas of the world where signals can become degraded due to heavy rain or other intense climate-related conditions.
This band had a frequency range from 10.9 to 20 GHz. “Ku” stands for “Kurz unten” - German for the band just underneath the “short” or K-band (which starts at 20 GHz).
Unlike C-Band, Ku-band frequencies are dedicated for satellite communication only. ... Moreover, Ku-Band is characterized by its high powered signals compared to C-band. Thus, smaller dishes can be used to achieve the same distance as C-band and the KU band radio transmitter also requires less power
Ku-band is typically used for broadcasting and 2-way Internet connections. C-band: The C-band frequency range has one significant problem. It is the frequency region assigned to terrestrial microwave radio communication systems.

Back in the late 90's I had a 12 foot C-Band dish when I picked up east and west coast cable tv networks and an outdoor OTA antenna when I picked up local stations from San Francisco, Sacramento and Monterey.
Also I picked up distant stations from KNBC and KTLA Los Angeles, KOMO Seattle, KWGN, KCNC, KRMA, KMGH, KUSA and KDVR Denver, WGN Chicago, WKRN Nashville, WNBC, WWOR and WPIX New York, WSBK Boston and WSEE Erie. Plus CBC North Atlantic and Pacific feeds and CBMT Montreal, as well as XEW, XHGC, XHIMT, XEIPN, XHDF and XEIMT from Mexico City.
lol Linus's video got me interested, you should make a DIY antenna if you can would be a cool video or how to listen to UHF range radio comms or something....
Thanks for watching, Wish Linus boy would have not told people satellite dishes are useless now!
Great explanation. Don't know if it's a good example but to make a comparison to antennas the difference between C Band and Ku Band it's like VHF Low Band (requires a large antenna) and UHF Band (small antenna) C Band being VHF Low and Ku Band being UHF Band. Different frequencies and different antenna size. This is what I explain to people which are custom to over the air television but are new into free to air satellite reception.
In the digital age the same applies with transponders and over air tv stations, 1 transponder= multiple channels,up the 20 or 25.1 off air tv station= 5 to 10 dig net tv stations like metv,decades etc.
Nice pic sir ji ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Back in the late 80's I had a 12 foot Dish.... Been thinking about tinkering around with Satellite again.. I have been looking for a 10-12 foot dish in the Ocala Area of Florida. Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist over the last few months have had nothing. I am even having trouble finding a company that sells new ones. Can you point me in a few directions for a new Dish? Thanks for any help.
We had a C-Band back when I was a kid. It was quite a racket when the wind would pickup in the winter. We had it attached to our garage which now was obviously a bad idea. Hahaha
I miss channels like F4-3, F4-21, F4-15, G1-8...yeah..those were the days.
Wasn't G1-08 Porn lol? I remember quite a few on different Galaxy bands. Telstar 3-19 thru 23 were transformed to porn networks as well if im not mistaken. SPICE 1 AND 2
@@Doom0690 LOL, it could have changed to that! For me it used to be Cartoon Network. F43 was Nickelodeon, F421 was Discovery, F4-15 was Animal Planet. This was in the early to late 90s. I cant remember what we had..Telstar? Does that sound famaliar?
@@aquatone327Don’t forget sat names like B4, W6 (for GE1 Ku), KZ (for Satcom K2), R3, A2 (for Anik E2 Ku) and R4.
@@aquatone327As well as W8 for GE3 Ku.
hey robbie .i want to know does hbo and cinemax showtime encore tmc stars are availble on c band? thank you.
How do you do to make moving you dish?
I always wondered why more satellite programming from broadcasters do not switch from C band to KU band. I understand about rain fade and the like, but more people have to ability and space for KU size dishes. Too bad that there is not more quality programming on KU band.
Robert, I work at a satellite teleport, and believe me when I say the affects of rain fade on Ku band are enormous. Our customers’ carrier signals completely flatline during rain storms. Even on cloudy days Ku signals are diminished. It is a problem right now dealing with this predicament though since the higher end of C Band bandwidth has been sold off to cell phone companies.
Could you communicate and do TV with a C-band?
When I have heard you talk about Galaxy 19 you have referred to it as being 97 degrees, is that just the direction from where you are? the app on my I-Pad tells me that Galaxy 19 (at my location) is 151. I have set up a KU Band dish, have it aimed at 151 and 46 degrees angle, but I am still not getting anything on blind scan. I am in Southwest Missouri. What am I doing wrong??
Try using the site dishpointer dot-com
With a 120 cm you can only pick up the strong C Band transponder but the minimum size for C Band should be 200 cm for most transponders. But with a C Band Dish you can receive Ku Band very good, but use Ku Band only LNB not that C/Ku Band LNB. And to pick up up Ku Band transponders with a C Band dish I recommend a standard dish like they use in India, Pakistan not mesh dish like in North America.
I use old solid aluminum 8ft cband dish someone gave me,I converted to ku feed works great.
So if I add a KU LNB to my C Band dish, where are the KU channels found? Are all of the KU signals found on their own separate satellites in their own separate slots in the sky, or are any of them found where the C band satellites are found? I guess what I’m asking is, can I get both KU and C Band from the same dish position?
I have a 12ft dish with a suspected bad LNB. The question is, do I buy C only or C/Ku replacement? Looking through a few satellites on Lynqsat, most of the content seems to be encrypted for services like Dish Network and others. Question: What non-encrypted content is available on the Ku band? I'm located in California.
here is a video about that th-cam.com/video/kOpadmYJoeY/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygURa3UgYmFuZCBjaDthbm5lbHM%3D
In india I use 8ft c band dish.
I like
I work in a satellite teleport, so I can chip with some info for ya. The reason C Band is prevalent in North America is because the major TV networks at the advent of satellite tv (CBS, NBC, etc.) used C-Band because, as you correctly stated, is far more reliable. Think about C and Ku waves like a metronome. A C Band wave would “sound” like 100 beats per minute whereas Ku band would sound like 300 beats per minute. Those Ku waves get obliterated not only in rain (rain fade) but even clouds or humidity. Most of our customers at my job have Ku band services. So in our antenna path, what we do is we monitor the beacon level off the satellite at all times. When the beacon level starts to diminish, that’s usually because of clouds or weather coming in. That beacon receiver is simultaneously connected to a device called an uplink power control on our transmit path. When the beacon level drops out, the aupc removes attenuation from our transmit path so our HPAs transmit a little more power to the satellite, thus nullifying or minimizing the affects. Unfortunately though, when it’s pouring rain for a Ku service, you’ll see customer carriers flatline completely, rendering the UPC useless. C Band will continue to be relied upon for video for decades to come.
Yeah it's definitely changed and with the recent repack I'm finding reception is better on the repack frequencies
what about a 6.9ft dish?
You will probably get 85% of the channels with it!
Ku-band is mostly used by schools, campuses and colleges.
I think there's a lot more backyard satellite enthusiasts and broadcast television feeds that use KU Band
@@RobbieStrike But didn't Tribune use Ku for their newsfeeds in the late '90s?, I know most of the Tribune-owned WB stations used CNN Newsource for their video feeds since they also showed video stories from CNN as well.
