TTR-000169WUS1Page 7 of 68 Product Description The satellite telephoneconsists of an L-Band Transceiver (LBT) capable of simultaneous transmit and receive (duplex) operation covering the frequency range of 1616MHz to 1626.5MHz. The frequency accesses used for duplex channels are organised into sub-bands each of which contains eight frequency accesses. Each sub-band, therefore occupies 333.33 kHz (i.e. 8x41.667kHz). Up to 30 sub-bands containing 240 frequency accesses may be used for duplex channels.
