Appendix A - Frequency Channel Plans
This appendix describes frequency channel plans.
Table 4 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.

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).
