QUESTIONNAIRE - PART I
(To be completed by both Administrations and, where relevant, by Sector members)
Information on national radio frequency spectrum allocations: 960 – 3 000 MHz
1. Introduction
A national table of frequency allocations is a basic tool for an effective spectrum management process. It provides a general plan for spectrum use and the basic structure to ensure efficient use of the spectrum and the prevention of radio frequency interference between services. Through use of the table, manufacturers will have a guide to where in the spectrum to design and build equipment, and users will know where to operate. As described in the National Spectrum Management Handbook, the International Table of Frequency Allocations, Article 5 of the Radio Regulations forms the basis for national tables and, in some countries, this may be used as the national table. However, other countries have included additional information on national use, varying in detail from showing which service operates when the Radio Regulations offer a choice, to showing how spectrum available for government and non-government use, and, for specific sub-bands, channel arrangements and equipment specifications in use. An extract of a national allocation table is attached as an example.
The scope of the information requested from administrations by this circular letter in no way touches the security or the secrecy aspects of frequency usage in Member States. It is intended simply to provide additional information on the frequency usage on a national basis, together with its corresponding application. It is intended also to facilitate the co-ordination requirements of that usage, either nationally or with neighbouring countries, or with other countries at an international level.
2. Information on national radio frequency spectrum allocations: 960 – 3000 MHz
a) If you have a publicly available national table of radio frequency spectrum allocations, please submit a copy (either in electronic, or printed form, or both ) of that table, or an extract for the frequency range 960 – 3 000 MHz.
b) If you do not have a national frequency allocations table available, the attached extract from Article 5 of the Radio Regulations may be used to indicate general information on how this range of frequencies is used by your administration within your national borders. Two "empty" columns have been added to this table for this purpose. If you are using an electronic version of the table, the information may be keyed into the spaces provided, otherwise, please type or write the information on a printed copy.
c) Administrations are invited to enter the following information:
In the column designated "National Allocations", please enter the name of the radiocommunications service that is allocated for the use of a given frequency band. Please use the ITU terminology given in Article 1 of the Radio Regulations to describe services, such as FIXED, MOBILE, space research, radio astronomy, etc., using "capitals" to denote a PRIMARY allocation and "normal characters" to denote a secondary allocation (see Nos. 5.23 to 5.31 )
In the column designated "Application and comment", please enter further technical requirements or characteristics, if any, that have been established nationally for a given band such as channel spacing, limitations on radiated signal power;
d) Sector Members that operate in or manufacture equipment for this frequency range are invited to enter information about applications available for operation in the different frequency sub-bands e.g. purpose, operating parameters such as channel spacing, radiated signal power capabilities, etc.
e) Example extract from a national frequency allocation table
This example extract from a national allocation table shows the typical information administrations are invited to provide in the two columns under "National Use" for each sub-band. The column "National Allocation" shows which service(s) have been allocated the sub-band by the administration on a national basis. This is usually a sub-set of the international allocations. The second column shows the typical applications within the service, further comments on the application or any other application in the sub-band.
