uplink100 kHz56740158239

Inclusive endpoints describe the reference grid. A usable carrier must also satisfy bandwidth, edge clearance, subcarrier spacing, synchronization raster, equipment and band-specific requirements. Enhanced rasters require corresponding support. Allocation edges are not automatically usable centre frequencies.

Worked downlink conversion

EARFCN 57489 maps to 3624.9 MHz.

F = 3550 + 0.1 × (57489 − 56740) = 3624.9 MHz. The offset and lower reference frequency belong to this band and direction.

Electrical length and propagation example

At 3624.9 MHz, the free-space wavelength is 8.270 cm, the half-wave length is 4.135 cm and the quarter-wave length is 2.068 cm. Free-space path loss over 1 km is 103.634 dB.

These are reference calculations, not an antenna cut length or coverage prediction. Add feeder losses, antenna gains and propagation effects in the full link budget. A band match does not identify an operator or grant permission to transmit.

Sources and version

3GPP TS 36.101 V19.6.0 (Release 19, August 2026), tables 5.5-1, 5.5H-1, 5.7.3-1 and 5.7.3H-1. Dataset 3gpp-rel19-2026-10-01; checked 2026-10-01. This page records that specification version rather than implying support in every device or country.

Bands with overlapping allocations

At least one corresponding uplink or downlink range overlaps; this does not imply equipment compatibility.
