Broadcasters’ spectrum needs for audio PMSE applications (EBU; 2023)

2022

According to the results of this report the daily required spectrum for PMSE Audio in the UHF-TV band today is 110 MHz. With this amount of spectrum, the requirement of the most of Campus/Venues and Events can be fulfilled. Nevertheless, for major events the average of the required spectrum is 174 MHz, while the peak demand could be the whole available UHF spectrum of 224 MHz.
