Is 5G Microwaves or Radio Waves? Specifications and Industry Applications
Radio waves encompass a broad spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies, ranging from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. Microwaves refer specifically to the higher-frequency portion of this spectrum, typically defined as frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz.
5G networks operate across two primary frequency ranges:
Sub-6 GHz Frequencies (e.g., 3.5 GHz): These fall within the microwave range and are considered radio waves. They offer a balance between coverage and capacity.
Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) Frequencies (e.g., 24-48 GHz): These are also microwaves but occupy the highest end of the radio wave spectrum. They enable ultra-high speeds and low latency but have shorter propagation ranges.
From a technical perspective, both Sub-6 GHz and mmWave signals are forms of radio frequency (RF) energy. The term "microwave" simply designates a specific band within the broader radio wave spectrum.
Why Does This Matter?
Understanding this distinction helps clarify 5G's capabilities. Lower-frequency radio waves (e.g., below 1 GHz) excel in wide-area coverage, while microwaves (especially mmWave) deliver the high bandwidth and low latency required for applications like augmented reality, smart factories, and autonomous vehicles.
In summary, 5G operates using microwave frequencies, which are a specialized category of radio waves. This enables it to support both widespread connectivity and cutting-edge, high-performance applications.

AESA vs PESA: How Modern Antenna Designs Are Revolutionizing Radar Systems
The evolution from Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA) to Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) represents the most significant advancement in modern radar technology. While both systems utilize electronic beam steering, their fundamental architectures differ dramatically, leading to substantial performance differences.
In PESA systems, a single transmitter/receiver unit feeds a network of phase shifters that control the radiation pattern of passive antenna elements. This design imposes limitations in jamming resistance and beam…
