Frequency plan

A frequency plan, bandplan, band plan or wavelength plan is a plan for using a particular band of radio frequencies, that are a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Each frequency plan defines the frequency range to be included, how channels are to be defined, and what will be carried on those channels. Typical definitions set forth in a frequency plan are:

The actual authorized frequency bands are defined by the ITU[1] and the local regulating agencies like the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) [2] and voluntary best practices help avoid interference.[3]
