Band | Band Name | Frequency (MHz) | Uplink (UL) or TDD Band or Range (MHz) | Downlink (DL) (MHz) | Bandwidth (DL/UL) | Popular Antennas |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2.4 GHz | 2.4 GHz ISM | 2.4 GHz | 2400 - 2483.500 | --TDD (No DL)-- | 83.500 MHz | 2.4 GHz antennas |
5 GHz | 5 GHz U-NII-1 to U-NII-4 | 5 GHz | 5150 - 58951 | --TDD (No DL)-- | 5 GHz antennas | |
6 GHz | 6 GHz UNII3 | 5925 - 7125 MHz | 5925 - 71252 | --TDD (No DL)-- | 1.200 GHz | 6 GHz antennas |
Footnotes:
BW of 775 MHz for U-NII-1 to U-NII-4. U-NII-1=5.15-5.25 GHz; U-NII-2A=5.25-5.35 GHz; U-NII-2B=5.35-5.47 GHz; U-NII-2C=5.47-5.725 GHz; U-NII-3=5.725-5.85 GHz; U-NII-4 = 5.85 - 5.925 GHz (DSRC/ITS/C-V2X = 5.895-5.925 GHz).
1.2 GHz Bandwidth for U-NII-5 to U-NII-8. U-NII-5=5.925-6.425 GHz; U-NII-6=6.425-6.525 GHz; U-NII-7=6.525-6.875 GHz; U-NII-8=6.875-7.125 GHz.
47 CFR § 97.303 authorizes amateur radio operators to transmit at 5.65-5.725 GHz.
