Talk:C band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Complaints
A quote from a contributor to slashdot,
"not only inflammatory but factually incorrect:
'This contrasts with direct broadcast satellite, which is a completely closed system used to deliver subscription programming to small satellite dishes connected to proprietary receiving equipment '
Note this anecdotal comment that the author had evidently pulled out of thin air:
'Service is generally spotty and expensive, but it generally superior to dial-up service and is often the only option.' "
Palapa C band receive frequency is not 6.425-6.725 GHz. It is 3.400 - 3.700 GHz. The table is copied from a link that on the page shows the correct information but not on the article.
[edit] Band definition
From my understanding, C-band is from 4-8 GHZ - which is different from what the article states. My info comes from "Radar Principles" by Peyton Z. Peebles, Jr. Page 20. Published by John Wiley and sons, Inc. 1998
- A previous revision of this article agreed with that, but the article evidently has a copyright violation issue. —Fleminra 21:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
