Notes on Reading the Radio Frequency Allocation Table Primary status is indicated in the table by all capital letters. A primary service cannot claim protection from harmful interference from another primary service which shares the same allocation. Secondary status is indicated in the table by words that only begin with capital letters. A secondary service shall not cause harmful interference to a primary service, and cannot claim protection from harmful interference from a primary service. Footnotes may add allocations, and may add limited protection or remove protection from harmful interference for a service. Footnotes relevant to radio astronomy, the earth exploration-satellite(passive) or space research(passive) are summarized by all lowercase letters. Where it is indicated that a footnote offers protection, it should be understood that protection is often extremely limited. For full understanding of a footnote, the reader should "click" on the "link" to the footnote, where the full text of the footnote is reproduced. The "US" column of the table lists only footnotes that make the statuses of radio astronomy, the earth exploration-satellite or space research different than they are in the rest of Region 2. Readers are advised that some changes concerning the frequencies allocated to radio astronomy, the earth exploration-satellite and space research were made at WRC-95 and future FCC and NTIA regulations may reflect those changes. Please report errors and mail comments to wbrundag@aoc.nrao.edu |

ARTICLE 1
2.1 Allocations (of a frequency band): Entry in the Table of Frequency Allocations of a given frequency band for the purpose of its use by one or more terrestrial or space radiocommunication services or the radio astronomy service under specified conditions. This term shall also be applied to the frequency band concerned.
6.3 Class of Emission: The set of characteristics of an emission, designated by standard symbols, e.g. type of modulation of the main carrier, modulation signal, type of information to be transmitted, and also if appropriate, any additional signal characteristics.
6.8 Out-of-band Emission*: Emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions.
6.9 Spurious Emission*: Emission on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions.
6.10 Unwanted Emissions*: Consist of spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions.
6.16 Necessary Bandwidth: For a given class of emissions, the width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions.
6.17 Occupied Bandwidth: The width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage /2 of the total mean power of a given emission.
Unless otherwise specified by the CCIR for the appropriate class of emission, the value of /2 should be taken as 0.5%.
6.20 Power: Whenever the power of a radio transmitter etc. is referred to it shall be expressed in one of the following forms, according to the class of emission, using the arbitrary symbols indicated:
- peak envelope power (PX or X);
- mean power (PY or Y);
- carrier power (PZ or Z).
For different classes of emission, the relationships between peak envelope power, mean power and carrier power, under the conditions of normal operation and of no modulation, are contained in CCIR Recommendations which may be used as a guide.
For use in formulae, the symbol denotes power expressed in watts and the symbol denotes power expressed in decibels relative to a reference level.
6.21 Peak Envelope Power (of a radio transmitter): The average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during one radio frequency cycle at the crest of the modulation envelope taken under normal operating conditions.
6.22 Mean Power (of a radio transmitter): The average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during an interval of time sufficiently long compared with the lowest frequency encountered in the modulation taken under normal operating conditions.
6.23 Carrier Power (of a radio transmitter): The average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during one radio frequency cycle taken under the condition of no modulation.
6.24 Gain of an Antenna: The ratio, usually expressed in decibels, of the power required at the input of a loss-free reference antenna to the power supplied to the input of the given antenna to produce, in a given direction, the same field strength or the same power flux-density at the same distance. When not specified otherwise, the gain refers to the direction of maximum radiation. The gain may be considered for specified polarization.
Depending on the choice of the reference antenna a distinction is made between:
a) absolute or isotropic gain (Gi), when the reference antenna is an isotropic antenna isolated in space:
b) gain relative to a half-wave dipole (Gd), when the reference antenna is a half-wave dipole isolated in space whose equatorial plane contains the given direction:
c) gain relative to a short vertical antenna (Gv), when the reference antenna is a linear conductor, much shorter than one quarter of the wavelength, normal to the surface of a perfectly conducting plane which contains the given direction.
6.25 Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (e.i.r.p.): The product of the power supplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction relative to an isotropic antenna (absolute or isotropic gain).
6.26 Effective Radiated Power (e.r.p.) (in a given direction): The product of the power supplied to the antenna and its gain relative to a half-wave dipole in a given direction.
7.1 Interference: The effect of unwanted energy due to one or a combination of emissions, radiations, or inductions upon reception in a radiocommunication system, manifested by any performance degradation, misinterpretation, or loss of information which could be extracted in the absence of such unwanted energy.
7.2 Permissible Interference: Observed or predicted interference which complies with quantitative interference and sharing criteria contained in these Regulations or in CCIR Recommendations or in special agreements as provided for in these Regulations.
7.3 Accepted Interference: Interference at a higher level than that defined as permissible interference and which has been agreed upon between two or more administrations without prejudice to other administrations.
7.4 Harmful Interference: Interference which endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or of other safety services or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in accordance with these Regulations.
7.6 Coordination Area: The area associated with an earth station outside of which a terrestrial station sharing the same frequency band neither causes nor is subject to interfering emissions greater than a permissible level.
7.8 Coordination Distance: Distance on a given azimuth from an earth station beyond which a terrestrial station sharing the same frequency band neither causes nor is subject to interfering emissions greater than a permissible level.
