Adjacent Channel Interference |
|
Adjacent Channel Interference can be reduced or eliminated through various operating methods The simplest methods are reducing power and moving the operation frequency |

|
Simply moving one additional KHz apart would reduce the adjacent channel interference to the S-1 and S-5 respectively. It can be seen here that reducing power to a respectable S-9 received signal improves adjacent channel interference while maintaining acceptable communication signals. Also moving one and a half KHz would reduce the adjacent channel interference below S-0 even for a S9+20 signal. |
Additional reduction can be gained by both parties using high performance narrow filters.
|
This however can cause some loss of signal quality by rolling of the audio highs and lows. While loss of high and lows for basic voice communications is not really a serious issue, some other modes may be seriously effected. Some voices and some with hearing impairment may want to forego narrow banding. |
