700/800 Systems
Frequency Selection Rules
1.
Frequency Spacing
……………..…Keep all BTR/TR receive and transmit frequencies at least 300kHz away from
each other, >400kHz preferred. Both the transmitters and receivers should be
at least 400kHz away from other RF equipment.
2.
IM Products
………….…………… 2 transmitter 3
rd
orders by at least 100kHz (200kHz preferred)
3 transmitter 3
rd
orders by at least 50kHz (100kHz preferred)
2 transmitter 5
th
orders by at least 50kHz (100kHz preferred)
3.
Transmitter Sidebands
……...…… Avoid base and beltpack carrier sidebands: +/-200kHz, +/-400 and +/-600.
Keep at least 50kHz away from these frequencies.
4.
Bandwidths
………………….……. Transmitter bandwidth = 150kHz
Receiver bandpass = 230kHz
5.
Base RX 4MHz Image Harmonics
. C6 frequencies to avoid are 704.4, 708.4, 712.4, 716.4, 720.4.
A2 frequencies to avoid are 632.4, 636.4, 640.4, 644.4, 648.4.
Avoid the frequencies, by at least 50kHz
6.
Base LO
1
Xtal harmonics
……...… Avoid C6 Xtal harmonics; 524.667, 655.833, 787.000 by at least 50kHz .
Avoid A2 Xtal harmonics; 476.667, 595.833, 715.000 by at least 50kHz.
