Yes, employing a directional antenna can potentially be a solution to address a second adjacent channel waiver issue. Directional antennas are designed to focus the radiation pattern of the transmitted signal in specific directions while reducing it in others. By carefully configuring a directional antenna, it may be possible to minimize interference with neighboring stations on second adjacent channels, thus improving the chances of obtaining a waiver for such a setup. However, the feasibility and success of this approach would depend on various technical and regulatory factors, and it may require consultation with experts and relevant authorities.
FAQ Tag: second adjacent waiver
Can I lower my power output to reduce the size of an overlap zone when seeking a second adjacent channel waiver?
Yes, it is possible to lower your power output as a strategy to reduce the size of an overlap zone when applying for a second adjacent channel waiver. Adjusting your power output can help minimize interference concerns and improve the chances of obtaining the waiver. However, it’s important to ensure that the reduced power level still complies with regulatory requirements and serves the intended coverage area effectively.
I’ve already been granted a second-adjacent channel waiver for a specific station, but I now need to make changes on Form 318 for the same channel. Is it necessary for me to submit a new waiver request in this situation?
If you have already been granted a second-adjacent channel waiver for a particular station and you now need to make a change on Form 318 for the same channel, typically, you do not need to submit a new waiver request. However, there are some important considerations:
