Appendix A – Frequency Channel Plans

This appendix describes frequency channel plans.

Table A- 1 lists the FCC Channel Plans for 24 GHz.

Note: Either of the two radios may be programmed at the GO frequency. The other

radio must then be programmed at the matching RETURN frequency for coupled

(paired) operation. Therefore, using the table below, if one radio is set to transmit at

24080 MHz, then other radio must be set to transmit at 24150 MHz. Refer to the section

below for decoupled (unpaired) operation.

Table A- 1

24080 24150

24090 24160

24100 24170

24110 24180

24150 24220

Should many 24 GHz systems be deployed in the same small geographical footprint,

then DragonWave’s 24 GHz system allows full control of the frequencies. Normally, the

frequencies are paired according to the table above, however unpaired frequency

operation is allowed.

Note the frequencies must differ by a minimum of 70 MHz. For example, if one radio is

set to a frequency of 24080 MHz, then the other radio must be set to a minimum offset of

70 MHZ and therefore must be set to 24150 MHz or higher. There are no other

restrictions on frequency selection that is to say that any frequency combinations may be

selected as long as the spacing is a minimum of 70 MHz. Therefore, if one radio is set

to 24150 MHz then the other radio may be set to a frequency of 70 MHz higher (24220

MHz), or 70 MHz lower (24080 MHz).
