5、76 and was written toremove the confusion which developed from the misapplication to radar of letter band designations of othermicrowave frequency users. This standard relates the letter terms in common usage to the frequency rangesthat they represent. The 1984 revision defined the application V and
6、 W to a portion of the millimeter waveregion while retaining the previous letter designators for frequencies below the millimeter region. This revi-sion keeps the same letter band designations, includes a change in the definition of millimeter wave frequen-cies to conform to the ITU designation, and
7、 revises the notes to Table 1. The Standard Letter Designations for Radar-Frequency Bands issued in 1976 and revised in 1984 listed thespecific frequency ranges for radar only for Region 2 in Table 1. Table 1 has been modified for internationalapplication by including Regions 1 and 3 in addition to
8、Region 2.ParticipantsAt this time this standard was completed, the IEEE Aerospace for example, VHF (216225 MHz) orL-band (1.2151.4 GHz).3. Relation to other nomenclatureThe radar letter designations are consistent with the recommended nomenclature of the ITU, as shown inTable 2. Note that the high f
9、requency (HF) and the very high frequency (VHF) definitions are identical in theIEEEStd 521-2002 IEEE STANDARD FOR 2 Copyright 2003 IEEE. All rights reserved.two systems. The essence of the radar nomenclature is to subdivide the existing ITU bands, in accordancewith radar practice, without conflict
10、or ambiguity.The letter band designations should not be construed as being a substitute for the specific frequency limits ofthe frequency bands. The specific frequency limits should be used when appropriate, but when a letter desig-nation of a radar-frequency band is called for, those of Table 1 sha
11、ll be used.The letter designations described in this standard are designed for radar usage and are used in current prac-tice. They are not meant to be used for other radio or telecommunication purposes, unless they pertain toradar.The letter designations for electronic countermeasure operations, as
12、described in Air Force Regulation No.55-44, Army Regulation No. 105-86, and Navy OPNAV Instruction 3430.9B, are not consistent with radarpractice and shall not be used to describe radar-frequency bands.Table 1Standard radar-frequency letter band nomenclatureInternational tableBand designationNominal

16、. The ITU defines no specific service for radar, and the frequency assignments listed are derivedfrom those radio services that use radiolocation. The frequency allocations listed include those for both primary andsecondary service. The listings of frequency assignments are included for reference on
17、ly and are subject to change.2The specific frequency ranges for radiolocation are listed in the NTIA Manual of Regulations & Procedures for Fed-eral Radio Frequency Management, Chapter 4.

18、/redbook.html.3There are no official ITU radiolocation bands at HF. So-called HF radars might operate anywhere from just abovethe broadcast band (1.605 MHz) to 40 MHz or higher.4Frequencies from 216450 MHz were sometimes called P-band.5The official ITU designation for the ultra high frequency band e
19、xtends to 3000 MHz. In radar practice, however, theupper limit is usually taken as 1000 MHz, L- and S-bands being used to describe the higher UHF region.6Sometimes included in L-band.7Designated for aeronautical navigation, this band is reserved (with few exceptions) exclusively for airborne radaral
20、timeters.8The frequency range of 24.6524.75 GHz includes satellite radiolocation (earth to space only).9The designation mm is derived from millimeter wave radar, and is also used to refer to V- and W-bands, and part ofKa-band, when general information relating to the region above 30 GHz is to be con
