Channel Spacing

Channel spacing is a term used in radio frequency planning. It describes the frequency difference between adjacent allocations in a frequency plan. Channels for mediumwave radio stations, for example are allocated in internationally-agreed steps of 9 or 10 kHz: 10 kHz in ITU Region 2 (the Americas) and 9 kHz elsewhere in the world.

Famous quotes containing the word channel:

    Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.
    Louise Hart (20th century)
