UMTS frequency bands
Appearance
UMTS frequency bands or frequency ranges are the radio spectrum frequencies designated for the operation of the UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA / HSPA+ system for mobile phones.
UMTS-FDD
UMTS-FDD is designed to operate in the following paired bands:
Operating Band | Frequency Band | UL Frequencies UE transmit (MHz) | DL Frequencies UE receive (MHz) | Channel Number (UARFCN) UL | Channel Number (UARFCN) DL |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
