The 2.5 millimeter or 122 GHz band is a portion of the EHF (microwave) radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio use on a secondary basis. The amateur radio band is between 122.250 GHz and 123.000 GHz. Amateur satellite operations are not permitted, and the ITU's allocation is the same in all three ITU regions.[1]
The 122 GHz band coincides with a molecular resonance of oxygen which causes significant atmospheric propagation losses, similar to the 60 GHz band.
Some administrations have authorized spectrum for amateur use in this region; others have declined to regulate frequencies above 300 GHz.
[v] All allocations are subject to variation by country. For simplicity, only common allocations found internationally are listed. See a band's article for specifics.
[w] HF allocation created at the 1979 World Administrative Radio Conference. These are commonly called the "WARC bands".
[x] This is not mentioned in the ITU's Table of Frequency Allocations, but many individual administrations have commonly adopted this allocation under "Article 4.4".
[y] This includes a currently active footnote allocation mentioned in the ITU's Table of Frequency Allocations. These allocations may only apply to a group of countries.
