The X band, ranging from 8.0 to 12.0 GHz, is part of the microwave band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The X band is used by some communications satellites and by X-band radar primarily for science and technology applications. The 3-cm radar spot-band ranges roughly from 5.2 to 10.9 GHz.
The term is also used informally to refer to the Extended AM broadcast band.
