Calculation Formula

Frequency (MHz) = 1920 + EARFCN - 8

Where:
EARFCN - E-ARFCN value
1920 MHz is the reference frequency for LTE Bands
This formula applies to most LTE bands except for some special cases

Learn how to use the LTE EARFCN to Frequency Conversion Calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the E-ARFCN value in the input field. This is the numerical identifier for each frequency in the LTE system.
  2. Select the appropriate LTE band from the dropdown menu. This helps ensure accurate conversion for bands with special frequency ranges.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to convert the EARFCN to its corresponding frequency in MHz.
  4. The results will display the frequency value, band name, and the typical frequency range for that band.

Understanding EARFCN (E-ARFCN)

E-ARFCN (E-Abstraction Radio Frequency Channel Number) is a numerical identifier for frequency channels in LTE networks. It provides a standardized way to reference frequencies across different regions and bands.

The formula used in this calculator is: Frequency (MHz) = 1920 + EARFCN - 8

This formula is a simplified version that works for most LTE bands. However, some bands have special characteristics or exceptions that might require different calculations in real-world applications.

Band Coverage Notes

Different LTE bands cover different frequency ranges and are deployed in various regions around the world. The calculator shows the typical frequency ranges for each band, but actual deployment may vary by carrier and region.

For professional network planning, it's recommended to consult official documentation from your regional regulatory authority or the 3GPP specifications for precise frequency allocations.
