| description | The X-band satellite communication (satcom) has
been conventionally set aside for military and government
organizations. It is also commonly known as the military band.
The attributes of an X-band satcom hardware are expected to
be designed specifically for military operations and they are
expected to differ very much to those of commercial frequencies.
The satcom will be likely to be exclusively designed to support
smaller, low powered, tactical terminals deployed across
various theatres of operation. In addition, X-band link is also
anticipated to offer a more substantial increased of system
capacity due to its higher frequencies compared to the
forerunner S-band and C-band. The X-band satcom technology
is drawing growing interest from military users including of the
Malaysian authorities. However, there are many aspects of
X-band that are harder to realize than of those of at lower
frequencies. X-band frequencies certainly have higher
atmospheric propagation losses, higher RF losses, and certainly
much severe signal degradation due to rain. It is would be in the
best interest of the satellite designers and engineers alike to
accurately appraise the challenges of an X-band satcom link
especially in the case of tropical regions where heavy rains are
copious whilst the required technological advancements are in
pursuit.
