Groups associating opponents of the 5G network are sometimes a source of quite interesting "flowers".Every now and then, there are seemingly ridiculous and stupid questions.However, as the saying goes.There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.Therefore, today we are considering the question of the possibility of receiving 5G signals / waves by a 10-year-old TV set with a terrestrial antenna.What does a 10-year-old TV have to do with 5G?It is about the ongoing (the first phase has already ended) in Poland refarming the 700 MHz band, which has been used so far by terrestrial TV broadcasting stations.The entire operation is related to the reallocation of these frequencies, which will ultimately be used in 5G networks.In turn, those who comment on the anti-5G groups are trying to combine the facts, so this is how the question about the 10-year-old TV was born.Surprised?I am already explaining where this answer came from.TV receivers are adapted, among othersto receive TV channels in the UHF band, including the frequencies from 694 MHz to 790 MHz.This range corresponds to TV channels in the range from 49 to 60. Currently, in some countries (eg Sweden) 5G is already operating in this band.In Poland, it will happen in the near future.Therefore, a TV connected to a terrestrial antenna that supports the V sub-range of the UHF band will receive a 5G network signal, but will not understand it.Each radio receiver consists of two modules.The first of them is responsible for transferring signals from the radio band to the so-calledbaseband.The parameters of this module (i.e. the range of supported frequencies and channel widths) determine the possibility of receiving individual radio signals.In turn, the second module, which can be simplified to connect the modulator to the decoder, allows the receiver to "understand" the information carried by the radio signal.In the case of a TV set, it is information about vision, sound and TV program.Sometimes signals from cellular networks (or illegal GSM / LTE repeaters) may make it difficult or impossible to receive DVB-T television.This usually happens when a broadband TV amplifier is installed in the receiving installation.This problem is solved by installing a dedicated low-pass filter that suppresses signals from cellular networks.Currently, in Poland, you can buy LTE TV filters that suppress the so-calledthe 800 MHz band (i.e. frequencies from 791 MHz upwards).I suspect that in the future you will also find 5G filters in stores that will suppress frequencies from 694 MHz up.However, remember that the construction of such a filter does not have any magical properties.It just so happens that these types of filters are already available in other countries, where LTE networks also operate in the 700 MHz band.Therefore, there is nothing extraordinary in this phenomenon, and the influence of cellular networks of various generations on the operation of television sets is well known and studied.As a side note, it is worth adding that signals from mobile devices, not base stations, pose greater problems.
