RECOMMENDATION ITU-R F.386-9
Radio-frequency channel arrangements for fixed wireless systems
operating in the 8 GHz (7 725 to 8 500 MHz) band
(Question ITU-R 247/5)
(1963-1966-1982-1986-1992-1997-1999-2007-2013)
Scope
This Recommendation provides radio-frequency channel arrangements for fixed wireless systems operating
in the 8 GHz (7 725 to 8 500 MHz) band, which may be used for high, medium and low capacity systems.
The preferred radio-frequency channel arrangements are based on multiples of basic slots either of 3.5 MHz
or 2.5 MHz width. Examples in various segments of the 8 GHz band are presented in Annexes 1 to 5.
Annex 6 presents an arrangement for high capacity digital systems used in some countries.
The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly,
considering
a) that it may be desirable to be able to interconnect fixed wireless systems (FWSs)
on international links at radio frequencies in the 8 GHz band;
b) that the availability of frequency bands in the range from 7 725 MHz to 8 500 MHz differs
in various countries;
c) that, for some administrations, a frequency band, only 300 MHz wide or less, may be
available in the 8 GHz range for such systems;d) that some channel arrangements have been developed in the past based on analogue system
requirements only;
e) that it is desirable to deploy in such a band digital systems of low, medium and/or high
capacity. In some countries, analogue systems are still being used;
f) that digital systems are mostly designed to accommodate radio-frequency (RF) channel
arrangements based on multiples of 2.5 MHz or 3.5 MHz patterns;
g) that, digital techniques such as cross-polar interference cancellers (XPIC) may significantly
contribute to the cross-polar discrimination improvement factor (XIF, defined in Recommendation
ITU-R F.746), thus counteracting multipath or rain propagation-induced depolarization;
h) that, when very high capacity links (e.g. twice Synchronous Transfer Mode-1 (STM-1)) are
required, further economy may be achieved using system bandwidths wider than the recommended
channel separation, associated to high-efficient modulation formats,
recommends
1 that the preferred RF channel arrangements be based on multiples of basic bandwidths of
either 3.5 MHz or 2.5 MHz; examples in various segments of the 8 GHz band are shown in
Annexes 1 to 5;
2 that, in a section over which the international connection is arranged, all the go channels
should be in one half of the band, and all the return channels should be in the other half of the band;
-
7/28/2019 R-REC-F.386-9-201302-8 GHZ

2 Rec. ITU-R F.386-9
3 that, for adjacent RF channels in the same half of the band, horizontal and vertical
polarization may be used alternately, as well as co-channel arrangements, provided that sufficient
adjacent channel rejection is provided;
4 that when very high capacity links are required and network coordination permits, with the
agreement of the administrations concerned, the use of any two adjacent 28 or 29.65 MHz channels
specified in recommends 1 is possible, for wider bandwidth system, with centre frequency lying in
the central point of the distance between the two 28 or 29.65 MHz adjacent channels;
5 that due regard be taken of the fact that, in some countries, in the 7 725 MHz to 8 275 MHz
band, another RF channel arrangement for high capacity digital systems up to 140 Mbit/s or
synchronous digital hierarchy bit rates is used. A description of this RF channel arrangement is
given in Annex 6. Administrations currently using channel arrangements based on the 29.65 MHz
raster are encouraged, in the future, to migrate to this more efficient 28 MHz and sub-multiples
channel arrangement in Annex 2.
Annex 1
RF channel arrangements for the transmission of various digital signals
operating in the 7 725-8 275 MHz band, with 300 MHz duplex spacing,
based on multiples of 2.5 MHz bandwidth referred to in recommends1
This Annex describes an RF channel arrangement for low, medium and high capacity point-to-point
FWS using digital modulation and operating in the band 7 725-8 275 MHz. Channel pairs are
provided with a common transmit-receive separation of 300 MHz.
1 The RF channel arrangement is shown in Fig. 1 and is derived as follows:
Let f0 be the frequency at the centre of the band:
f0 = 8000 MHz
fn be the centre frequency of one RF channel in the lower half of the band (MHz);
nf be the centre frequency of one RF channel in the upper half of the band (MHz),
then the centre frequencies of the individual channels are expressed by the following relationships:
1.1 for systems with a 30 MHz channel bandwidth:
lower half of the band: fn = f0 290 + 30 n MHz
upper half of the band: nf = f0 + 10 + 30 n MHz
where:
n = 1, 2, 3, 8;
1.2 for systems with a 20 MHz channel bandwidth:
lower half of the band: fn = f0 285 + 20 n MHz
upper half of the band: nf = f0 + 15 + 20 n MHz
where:
n = 1, 2, 3, 12;

The RF channel arrangement, in a frequency band of 275 MHz across the centre frequency
8 000 MHz for up to nine go and nine return channels, each accommodating high capacity digital
systems operating in the 8 GHz band, is as shown in Fig. 2.
Narrower channels, 18 channels 14 MHz wide and 36 channels 7 MHz wide, can be obtained by
subdivision of the 28 MHz main channels.
Channel pairs are provided with a common transmit-receive separation of 283.5 MHz.
The channels centre frequencies are derived as follows:
Let f0 be the frequency of the centre of the band of frequencies occupied (MHz);
fnbe the centre frequency of one RF channel in the lower half of this band (MHz);
nf be the centre frequency of one RF channel in the upper half of this band (MHz).The centre frequency should be:
f0 = 8 000 MHz
then the frequencies (MHz) of individual channels are expressed by the following relationships:
1.1 28 MHz channel arrangement
The frequencies of the individual channels are expressed by the following relationships:
lower half of the band: fn = f0 281 + 28 n MHz
upper half of the band: nf = f0 + 2.5 + 28 n MHz

Description of the RF channel arrangement
referred to in recommends5
1 The RF channel arrangement, in a frequency band of 275 MHz across the centre
frequency 8 000 MHz for up to eight go and eight return channels, each accommodating high
capacity digital systems up to 140 Mbit/s or synchronous digital hierarchy bit rates operating in the
8 GHz band, is as shown in Fig. 9 and is derived as follows:
Let f0 be the frequency of the centre of the band of frequencies occupied (MHz);fn be the centre frequency of one RF channel in the lower half of this band (MHz);

nf be the centre frequency of one RF channel in the upper half of this band (MHz);then the frequencies of the individual channels are expressed by the following relationships:
lower half of the band: fn = f0 281.95 + 29.65 n MHz
upper half of the band: nf
= f0 + 29.37 + 29.65 n MHz
where:
n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8.

2 In a section over which the international interconnection is arranged, all the go channelsshould be in one half of the band, and all the return channels should be in the other half of the band.
3 The go and return channels on a given section should preferably use the polarizations
shown below:
Go Return

V(H) 2 4 6 8 2 4 6 8
4 When additional RF channels, interleaved between those of the main pattern, are required,
the values of the centre frequencies of these RF channels should be 14.825 MHz below those of the
corresponding main channel frequencies.
5 In the case of digital FWS with a co-channel arrangement, the plan as shown in Fig. 10,
should be used.

6 That, for international connections, the centre frequency should be:
f0 = 8000 MHz
This value corresponds to the band 7725-7975 MHz in the lower half and 8025-8275 MHz in the
upper half.
NOTE 1 The RF channel arrangement shown in Fig. 9 overlaps that mentioned in Recommendation
ITU-R F.385, for a centre frequency of 7 700 MHz, by 125 MHz between 7 725 MHz and 7 850 MHz. All
due precautions to avoid mutual interference must be taken by FWS using these channel arrangements.
