TV and FM Radio Frequencies
In order to help
better identify signals of interest from ambient signals that
might already be in the area, we have included a table of
VHF, UHF, and FM frequencies, as a companion to our TDS-536
TV Dipole set, specifically designed for testing at
these frequencies. These are the frequencies that TV
stations and radio stations use, as mandated by the FCC.
If these are frequencies of interest or if testing is to
be performed at or near these frequencies, this should help
identify which signals are particularly strong ambient signals
from local TV and radio, versus the often less powerful transmitters
used in testing or the small emissions from equipment under
test (EUT). |
