Information About

L Band




The Global Positioning System Carriers are in the L band, centered at 1176.45 MHz (L5), 1227.60 MHz (L2), 1381.05 MHz (L3), and 1575.42 MHz (L1) frequencies.

WorldSpace Satellite Radio broadcasts in the 1467–1492 MHz L sub-band.

Mobile Phone s operate at frequencies between 800 and 1900 MHz.

The different NATO L band is defined as frequency band between 40–60 GHz (5–7.5  Mm ).

The band also contains the hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen (the Hydrogen Line ), which is of great astronomical interest as a means of imaging the normally invisible neutral atomic hydrogen in interstellar space.

L band is also used in optical communications to refer to the wavelength range 1570nm to 1610nm.
