Talk:K band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If this statement:

“‘K’ does NOT come from ‘Kurz’ or any other German word. The letter designations for microwave bands were chosen at random in the WWII era to *avoid* cluing the Germans in!”

from the article’s edit log can be substantiated, then someone might want to add this fact to the text of this article, and change Ka band and Ku band, since those articles make reference to “Kurz”. —Fleminra 02:52, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frequency ranges

I just corrected the frequency ranges for K and Ku band designations in the IEEE section. IEEE Std. 521 is the authority on this issue, and what was previously defined here was incorrect. Dietlein 18:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
