Nearly all C-band communication satellites use the band of frequencies from 3.7 to 4.2 GHz for their downlinks, and the band of frequencies from 5.925 to 6.425 GHz for their uplinks. Note that by using the band from 3.7 to 4.0 GHz, this C-band overlaps somewhat into the IEEE S-band for radars.
A ventral hernia occurs when a weak spot in the abdomen enables abdominal tissue or an organ (such as an intestine) to protrude through a cavity muscle area. These hernias are visibly identified by a bulge in the belly area. The most common sites for ventral hernias are the site of a previous abdominal procedure (an incisional hernia), the navel (an umbilical hernia), and the groin (an inguinal hernia). About 90,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed in the United States each year.
The most common, though, are in the abdomen and groin areas. 1  Inguinal Hernia is one of the two types of hernias that form in the groin. 2  Incisional Hernia forms along the site of a surgical incision.  Epigastric Hernia is one of the types of abdominal hernias that forms between the belly button and the chest.
