Enter your frequency, band, and other relevant details into the ARFCN calculator to determine your ARFCN value.
ARFCN Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the ARFCN from your frequency.
ARFCN = (Frequency - Base Frequency) * Multiplier
Variables:
- ARFCN is the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number.
- Frequency is the operating frequency in MHz.
- Base Frequency is the reference frequency for the band.
- Multiplier is a factor depending on the band (e.g., 10 for GSM, 5 for UMTS).
To calculate the ARFCN, subtract the base frequency from your operating frequency and multiply the result by the appropriate multiplier.
What is ARFCN Calculation?
ARFCN calculation refers to the process of determining the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number for a given frequency within a specific band. This involves understanding the operating frequency, the base frequency of the band, and the multiplier used for the band. Proper ARFCN calculation ensures accurate channel identification and frequency management in wireless communication systems.
How to Calculate ARFCN?
The following steps outline how to calculate the ARFCN using the given formula.
- First, determine your operating frequency based on your system and band requirements.
- Next, determine the base frequency for the band you are operating in.
- Use the formula from
