M band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NATO Radio bands A B C D E F G H I J K L M

IEEE Radio bands G P L S C X Ku K Ka V W

The M band is the range of radio frequencies from 60 GHz to 100 GHz in the electromagnetic spectrum. This is equal to wave lengths between 5 mm and 3 mm. The M band is in the EHF range of the radio spectrum.

The modern M band intersects with the V (40—75 GHz) and W band (75—111 GHz) of the older IEEE classification system.
