FABRIC-An Analysis Concept for Making Communications Systems Frequency Assignments

This paper deals with the problem of making frequency assignments to communications equipments in circumstances where spurious responses and intermodulation effects must be taken into account. The concept to be discussed makes use of mutual interference charts (MIC) to select the order of equipment assignment, the frequencies of assignment, and the effects of such decisions on subsequently assigned equipments. The assignment procedure is explained in some detail. In addition, those steps in the process that involve successive modification to the mutual interference charts are illustrated.
