How can I find out what the particular frequencies are for 3G and LTE service from a particular tower? The reason I need to know is that I have a residence on the very fringe of 3G or LTE service, and want to build a 14 element Yagi antenna for use with a Verizon 4G-LTE Internet and Home Phone (model 3T114V). I have the knowledge and skill to build and orient the antenna, but construction parameters vary with frequency. As an amateur radio operator, I know quite well how important proper antenna construction is. Any help is appreciated!

For 3G main is band 0 is most towers, some band 1
Band | Name | Downlink (MHz) | Bandwidth (MHz) | Uplink (MHz) | Duplex spacing (MHz) | ||||
Low | Middle | High | Low | Middle | High | ||||
0 | 800 | 860 | 877 | 894 | 34 | 815 | 832 | 849 | 45 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1900 PCS | 1930 | 1960 | 1990 |
LTE - most towers will have Band 13, which is also the band that travels the farthest. Verizon also uses Band 4 and in dense urban areas Band 2.
