A bandplan or band plan is a plan for using a particular band of radio frequencies, that are a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum . Each bandplan defines the frequency range to be included, how channels are to be defined, and what will be carried on those channels. Typical definitions set forth in a bandplan are:
- numbering scheme - which channel numbers or letters (if any) will be assigned
- center frequencies - how far apart the carrier wave for each channel will be
- bandwidth and/or deviation - how wide each channel will be
- spectral mask - how extraneous signals will be attenuated by frequency
- modulation - what type will be used or are permissible
- content - what types of information are allowed, such as audio or video, analog or digital
- licensing - what the procedure will be to obtain a license
