Cellular Radio Design Principles
R.C.V. Macario · 1997
In its simplest concept radiotelephones are set up by assigning one pair of channels to each user or phone. As in broadcasting, a channel is defined by its centre frequency and bandwidth. This scheme is known as frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and works very well. It is the basis of all present day analog cellular schemes. This channel planning concept is shown in Figure 3.1.
