Fre quency  Bands

Fre quency  Bands

The BTR-1 sys tem op er ates in TV chan nels 16 to 36 and 38 to 
59. This is the fre quency range of 482 to 608 MHz and 614
MHz to 746 MHz. The band, the TV chan nels and fre quen cies 
are shown in Ta ble 2. Most bands are 18 MHz wide, how ever
band 7 is 24 MHz wide.

Bands F to E are al ways base trans mit bands (beltpack re ceive
bands). Bands 1-7 are al 

ways base re 

ceive bands (beltpack

trans mit bands). Thus an A2 base sta tion would be com prised
of an A band trans mit ter paired with a 2 band re ceiver.

Band Pair ing for Sys tems

All band pairs can not be made into a sys tem (a sin gle sys tem
is com prised of a base and beltpack). Ta ble 1 show the avail -
able band pair ings.

Ta ble  1

Avail able Band Pair ings

In Ta ble 1 it can been seen that a C base sta tion trans mit band
can be paired with 4, 5, 6 or 7 re ceive bands. How ever, a C3
unit can not be made. This is be cause a cer tain amount of fre -
quency sep a ra tion be tween trans mit and re ceive bands is re -
quired for good trans mit and re ceive op er a tion. If they are too
close the RF per for mance of the sys tem is re duced.
