Band Plan
A Band Plan or band plan is a plan for using a particular band of radio frequencies, that are a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Each Band Plan defines the frequency range to be included, how channels are to be defined, and what will be carried on those channels.
NOTE: The GMRS Band is 70 cm (centimeters)
Typical definitions set forth in a Band Plan are:
NOTE: The GMRS Band is 70 cm (centimeters)
Typical definitions set forth in a Band Plan are:
- numbering scheme – which channel numbers or letters (if any) will be assigned
- center frequencies – how far apart the carrier wave for each channel will be
- bandwidth and/or deviation – how wide each channel will be
- spectral mask – how extraneous signals will be attenuated by frequency
- modulation – what type will be used or are permissible
- content – what types of information are allowed, such as audio or video, analog or digital
- licensing – what the procedure will be to obtain a broadcast license
