Does anyone know what the typical bandwidth of the RTTY, PSK31 and FSK amateur radio transmission schemes are ?
Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is a hobby and service that allows licensed individuals to communicate with other radio operators using a variety of frequencies and modes.
The typical bandwidth of RTTY (Radio Teletype) is approximately 170 Hz. This mode uses a combination of audio tones to transmit text messages over radio waves.
The typical bandwidth of PSK31 (Phase Shift Keying) is approximately 31 Hz. This mode uses phase shifts of a carrier signal to transmit text messages over radio waves.
The typical bandwidth of FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) varies depending on the specific type of FSK used. For example, the bandwidth of FSK with two tones is approximately 1.5 times the frequency separation between the tones.
To obtain a license for Amateur Radio, you must pass a written exam administered by a local Amateur Radio club or appointed Volunteer Examiner Coordinator. The exam covers basic radio theory, regulations, and operating practices. Once you pass the exam, you can apply for a license from the FCC.
