Beacon Frequency

In GSM FCCH Channel,Frequency Correction Burst uses the entire data space (142 bits)for unmodulated carrier (pure sinusoid) or carrier modulated with all zero bits. The frequency is 1625/24 kHz (or approximately 67 kHz).This pure carrier is the identity of a beacon frequency (also called BCCH-frequency or base-frequency) and FCCH slot. Beacon Frequency Channel is a Slot # 0 channel (TDMA Channel 0) of a designated GSM frequency for a cell (see the picture).
