Electronic Communications Act, 2005 (Act No. 36 of 2005) ICASA Final Radio Frequency Spectrum Assignment Plan for the Frequency Band 470 to 694 MHz Appendices Appendix C : Interference Cases per Province

 

DTT frequencies selected from 7 Mux plan to minimize interference on existing analogue. See sections on frequency assignments/allotments.

 

Easter Cape CH 46 - MUX 1

 

Interference Herschel CH46 SBC3 - Confirm "on air" Consider Herschel as priority area for Analogue Switch-off

 

Sterkspruit - Large power difference on adjacent channel 47 - ensure same TX power levels - This will resolve the interference

 

Aliwal North Goedemoed - Co-Channel on CH46 - switch over to satellite reception

 

Eastern Cape CH 35- MUX2

 

Despatch Adjacent Channel with Despatch CH34 - slight interference - ensure same transmission power - This will resolve the interference

 

Barkley East co-channel CH 35 - slight interference - Increase the power on SBC1 Transmitter with 6 dB to overcome interference

 

Northern Cape CH31 - MUX 2

 

No interference predicted

 

Northern Cape CH24 & CH27 MUX 1

 

No interference predicted

 

Western Cape CH33 & CH38 MUX1

 

No Interference

 

Western Cape CH29 MUX2

 

Graafwater interfered by Piketberg - Graafwater Self-help viewers to migrate to satellite immediately

 

Northern Province Mux 1 & 2 Area A

 

No interference CH21 & CH33

 

Northern Province Mux 1 Area B CH26

 

No Interference

 

Northern Province Mux 2 Area B CH26

 

No Interference

 

Mpumalanga Mux1 CH35

 

Slight Interference Davel etv CH34 on outskirts (complementary coverage available) and Steelpoort

Legobo SBC3 Self-Help

 

Mpumalanga Mux 2 CH31

 

Light interference in Davel CH30 Coverage (SABC1)

 

North West Mux 1 CH34

 

No interference problems

 

North West Mux 2 CH46

 

No interference problems - Mux2 split not required

 

Gauteng Mux 1 CH 36

 

No interference predicted

 

Gauteng Mux 2 CH 44

 

There is some interference on the Potgietersrus etv transmission on CH44 near Nylstroom. Pretoria etv CH29 offer Complementary Coverage. Prioritize analogue switch-off in Potgietersrus coverage area near Nylstroom

 

KwaZulu-Natal Mux 1 CH 30

 

Interference on Maqabaqabeni SBC3 CH30 - Confirm "on air" If "On Air" treat as priority area for Analogue "switch off"

 

KwaZulu-Natal Mux 2 CH 40

 

No Interference

 

Free State Mux 1 CH21

 

Koffiefontein (CH21) SBC1, Phillipolis (CH21) SBC2, Marquard (CH21) SBC1, Manguzi (CH21) SBC1.

 

Free State

 

Grootvlei Eskom (CH25) SBC2, Marquard (CH25) SBC1, Manguzi (CH25) SBC1.
