RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  15. RAS as radiocommunication 4.6 For the purpose of resolving cases of harmful interference, the radio astronomy service shall be treated as a radiocommunication service. However, protection from services in other bands shall be afforded the radio astronomy service only to the extent that such services are afforded protection from each other. RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  35. RA series Recs RA.1750 Mutual planning between the Earth exploration-satellite service (active) and the radio astronomy service in the 94 GHz and 130 GHz bands RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  36. Current Frequency Allocations 9 kHz – 275 GHz < 9 kHz : 5.53 Administrations authorizing the use of frequencies below 9 kHz shall ensure that no harmful interference is caused thereby to the services to which the bands above 9 kHz are allocated. 5.54 Administrations conducting scientific research using frequencies below 9kHz are urged to advise other administrations that may be concerned in order that such research may be afforded all practicable protection from harmful interference. RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  37. Secondary Primary alloc. direction footnotes RAS RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  38. Primary & Secondary Services a) services the names of which are printed in “capitals” (example: FIXED); these are called “primary” services; b) services the names of which are printed in “normal characters” (example: Mobile); these are called “secondary” services. Stations of a secondary service: a)shall not cause harmful interference to stations of primary services to which frequencies are already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date; b)cannot claim protection from harmful interferencefrom stations of a primary service to which frequencies are already assigned or may be assigned at a later date; c)can claim protection, however, from harmful interference from stations of the same or other secondary service(s) to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date. RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  39. Allocation > 275 GHz • No allocation at present (only footnote 5.565) • Revision of FN 5.565 – agenda for WRC-2011 (up to 3000 GHz) RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  40. RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  41. 5.565The frequency band 275-1000 GHz may be used by administrations for experimentation with, and development of, various active and passive services. In this band a need has been identified for the following spectral line measurements for passive services: –radio astronomy service: 275‑323GHz, 327‑371GHz, 388‑424GHz, 426‑442GHz, 453‑510GHz, 623‑711GHz, 795‑909GHz and 926-945 GHz; – Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) and space research service (passive): 275-277 GHz, 294‑306GHz, 316‑334GHz, 342‑349GHz, 363‑365GHz, 371‑389GHz, 416‑434GHz, 442‑444GHz, 496‑506GHz, 546‑568GHz, 624‑629GHz, 634‑654GHz, 659‑661GHz, 684‑692GHz, 730‑732GHz, 851‑853GHz and 951‑956GHz. Future research in this largely unexplored spectral region may yield additional spectral lines and continuum bands of interest to the passive services. Administrations are urged to take all practicable steps to protect these passive services from harmful interference until the date when the allocation Table is established in the above-mentioned frequency band.(WRC‑2000) RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  42. RA bands defined in ITU • Frequency usages are regulated in ITU • RA bands  rights to be protected RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  43. Where are RA bands ? RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  44. Shared RA bands In many RA bands, other services are also allocated. • INTERFERENCE!? It is necessary to coordinate between RAS and other services. RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  45. Adjacent to RA bands In many cases, there are satellite services (FSS, MSS, BSS, etc) in downlink !! RA can not avoid interference by choosing sites. RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  46. Iridium Satellites Max hold 1 min IF output 5dB/div 1450-1950 MHz RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  47. Observed Interference at CRL RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  48. Interference by GSOs 21cm obs. at Bonn GSOs RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  49. Radio Frequency Interference • Radio contaminations by artificial transmission (Telecomm., Radar, etc.) • Serious Problem for low-frequency RA observations • RFI will occur in higher frequencies RAFCAP meeting in Pune

  50. Necessary bandwidth 1.152 necessary bandwidth:For a given class of emission, 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. RAFCAP meeting in Pune
