Explain the bands in cellular telephony.
Solution :-
Cellular telephony uses Analog transmission. Frequency modulation is used for communication between the mobile phone and the cell office. Two frequency bands are allocated for this purpose:
i. Communication that is initiated by the mobile phone.
ii. Communication that is initiated by landline phone.
- Full duplex operation is possible by separating transmit and receive signals into separate frequency bands.
- Cellular phone units transmit in the lower band of frequencies, 825 to 845 MHz, and receive in the higher band, 870 to 890 MHz
- Within these two bands, 666 separate channels (333 channels per band) have been assigned for voice and control.
- Each channel requires a full-duplex dialog.
- For preventing interference, adjacent channels are rarely allocated.
- Some channels are also required for control purpose.
- This reduces the number of channels available for the cell.
- Each channel occupies a bandwidth of 30 kHz.
