Unique Contributions of Ka-Band Information in AltiKa Data. The key feature of the altimetric payload has been the selection of Ka-band [27]. Using Ka-band avoids the need for a second frequency to correct for the ionosphere delay and eases the sharing of the antenna by the altimeter and the radiometer.
