"Microwave" is NOT 'a band'. It usually refers to frequencies used for point-to-point RF links. 220 MHz was considered 'microwave' way back when.
As someone else mentioned, there are a NUMBER of microwave bands. My agency uses 2, 6, 10, 11, and 23 GHz depending on path length, required bandwidth, and availability. I think our widest beamwidth is 3 degrees. Most are MUCH tighter. Our 'radar' guns [microwave speed meters]run on 24 & 40 GHz. Your microwave oven operates at 2.45 GHz [the resonant frequency of water molecules].
