could any one briefly describe about c-band and ku-band.difference in their characteristics,merits and demerits along with picture(if avail).

What is Ku band - The Ku band (Kurtz-under band) is primarily used for satellite communications, particularly for editing and broadcasting satellite television. This band is split into multiple segments broken down into geographical regions, as determined by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union).

What is C Band - C Band is the original frequency allocation for communications satellites. C-Band uses 3.7-4.2GHz for downlink and 5.925-6.425Ghz for uplink.

Merits of Ku band is The dish is in Small size, De-merit is Climate changes affect (e.g rain) the signals.

STB is Common to Both, But LNB is Different.
