X-band radars operate at the frequency of 8-12 GHz. Due to operating at a smaller wavelength, X-band radars are more sensitive and can detect smaller particles compared to other radar bands. X-band radars are typically used for studies about cloud development and light precipitation due to their abilities to detect tiny water particles and snow.
