Instead, the L-band receiver only has 500 MHz of RF bandwidth; when the SARDARA 420 MHz configuration is needed, the actual available RF bandwidth for SARDARA is 100 or 90 MHz, according to the selected receiver RF filter.</p> Similarly, for the 420 MHz SARDARA configuration, the effective RF bandwidth is 300 MHz with the K-band and C-band receivers.
