GLONASS L1 (G1)
1598.0625–1605.375 MHz (FDMA, channel-dependent)
The GLONASS constellation's L1 civil frequency band. Unlike GPS/Galileo, legacy GLONASS satellites use frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) — each satellite transmits on its own channel within this range rather than a single shared carrier.
