Designation of Emissions 100HA1AAN Nature of multiplexing (1 letter) Bandwidth (4 letters) Basic characteristics (3 letters) Signal details (1 letter)
Emission designation: The first four symbols • Numbers • Before 100H • After 6M25 • Letter • H – Hertz • K – Kilohertz • M – Megahertz
Emission desig – 5th symbol Type of modulation of main carrier • N - Unmodulated • A - Double sideband (DSB) • H - Single sideband (SSB) • J - Single sideband (suppressed) • F - Frequency modulated • G - Phase modulated • P - Unmodulated pulse sequence • K - Amplitude-modulated (AM) pulse sequence
Emission desig – 6th symbol Nature of signal modulating the main carrier • 0 - No modulation • 1 - Single channel without sub-carrier • 2 - Single channel with sub-carrier • 3 - Single channel containing analogue information • 7 - Two or more channels – digitised information • 8 - Two or more channels – analogue information • 9 - Composite system • X - Cases not covered
Emission desig – 7th symbol Type of information to be transmitted • N - No information transmitted • A - Telegraphy (for aural reception) • B - Telegraphy (for automatic reception) • C - Facsimile • D - Data transmission, telemetry, telecommand • E - Telephony (including sound broadcasting) • F - Television (video) • W - Combination of the above • X - Cases not covered
Emission desig – 8th symbol Details of signals • From A-N (not including I & O), W and X • G - Broadcasting quality sound (mono) • H - Broadcasting quality sound (stereo/quadro) • J - Commercial quality sound • M - Monochrome (video) • N - Colour (video) • W - Combination of A-N • X - Cases not otherwise covered
Emission desig – 9th symbol Nature of Multiplexing • N - None • C - Code division multiplexing (CDMA) • F - Frequency division multiplexing (FDMA) • T - Time division multiplexing (TDMA) • W - Combination of F & T multiplexing • X - Cases not covered
Emission desig – Example 1 8K00A3EGN • Bandwidth 8.00 KHz • Double sideband • Single channel (analogue) • Telephony (incl. sound broadcasting) • Broadcasting quality (mono) • No multiplexing AM Radio
