Bandwidth Calculation

Using equations for FM bandwidth provided by Industry Canada's TRC-43 page, the expected bandwidth for the radio communications is calculated.

Data rate: R = 9600 bps

Frequency deviation: Fdev = 3.2 kHz

For 2FSK

Bandwidth: Bn = 3.86*Fdev + 0.27*R = ~15 kHz

Doppler Shift: Fd = +/- 10 kHz (from STK)

Total expected bandwidth: B = 35 kHz
