What is an atmospheric window in the millimetre band?

  • A.A gap in the regulations allowing unlicensed transmission
  • B.A geographical region in which rain attenuation is negligible
  • C.A frequency range between absorption lines with lower attenuation
  • D.A period of the day during which the atmosphere is most transparent

Answer: C

Between the oxygen and water vapour lines lie ranges near thirty five, ninety four and a hundred and forty gigahertz where clear air attenuation is comparatively low, and imaging and radar systems are placed there. The windows are properties of the molecular spectrum rather than of time, regulation or geography. Choosing an operating frequency from the structure of the medium's absorption spectrum is the same reasoning that placed infrared astronomy at particular wavelengths.
