The Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) is widely used as a power amplifier in satellite communication systems. It amplifies signals in the microwave frequency range and is capable of providing high power output with low noise and distortion. TWTA technology has been utilized for several decades in satellite communication due to its reliable performance and efficiency.
Applications: They are used in low power amplifiers DLVA, microwave and RF power monitors, high-frequency triggers, ALC loops, zero bias detectors, ACP tunnel diode circuits, etc. Since they are more resistant to nuclear radiation, tunnel diodes are used in space applications like amplifiers for satellite communications.
High frequency is used because of the the size of antennas used to transmit and receive the communications signal. The higher the frequency the smaller the antenna.
2.4GHz is used & OFDM
Microwaves are radio waves.Technically, "microwave" is the term used to designate radio communication onfrequencies above 3 GHz. Cellular and mobile data service doesn't operate inthat frequency range. But microwave systems operating in bands between5.8 GHz and 80 GHz are used to link the individual cellular and mobile data sitesto each other, and to the mobile switching centers.
The downlink frequency to Earth, in the context of communication satellites or spacecraft, refers to the frequency at which data is transmitted from the satellite to Earth. The specific frequency used can vary depending on the satellite system and the communication protocol being employed. Generally, downlink frequencies for satellite communication are in the microwave frequency range, typically between 1 to 50 GHz. The choice of downlink frequency is influenced by factors such as transmission range, atmospheric absorption, and regulatory requirements.
AnswerThe term microwave is associated to electromagnetic waves of frequency of the order of MHz .Since the energy carried by the wave is directly proportional to their frequency they are of great use in distance communication. For a simple microwave communication system, a radiator ,a reflector and one receiver antenna are essential. As the wave penetrates through the atmosphere a satellite reflector is usually used. Satellites use Microwaves to send signals.
Microwave radiation is used for heating food quickly in microwave ovens, in communication technology like satellite transmissions and radar systems, and in medical applications like MRI scans and cancer treatments.
It is communication with a satellite orbiting the planet using microwaves, a type of electromagnetic wave of lower frequency than light but higher frequency than radio waves. Microwaves are often used in this way as they can penetrate the earth's atmosphere, but can travel a long enough distance to reach the satellites, unlike x ray waves.

In the sense of a mobile communication: Downlink frequency is that used by a base station to communicate with the Mobile. In satellite communication also the same theory exists downlink is the return path.
Microwave tubes were primarily used in high and ultrahigh frequency applications such as radars, telecommunications equipment, military communication and control systems
Every information sent and received through satellite communication has to have an address to enable the communication process of signal delivery and reception. This naming of the signal is made in the form of a specific frequency. For example each TV channel operates on a unique frequency of it's own. When that frequency is called (tuned technically) out of a spectrum in that band, the chosen frequency gets selected. Since satellite transponders operate at very high frequency, modulation of the signal on to the carrier is difficult. Hence modulation is carried out at a much lower frequency. Such modulated signal is raised to the required frequency( name or address as stated above) that supports the satellite band and the transponder. The equipment used to elevate the frequency of the low frequency carrier (known as Intermediate Frequency) to the satellite transponder frequency is UP CONVERTER C.K.Vasudeva Bangalore
Gamma waves are electromagnetic waves with a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than microwaves. They are commonly used in medical imaging and cancer treatment. Microwaves, on the other hand, have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies, and are typically used in household appliances like microwave ovens and satellite communication.

I never heard of a "satellite wave". If you mean the radio waves used by satellites for communication - well, like all radio waves used for such purposes, there is probably a large range of waves they can use.
