Radio Frequencies: Policy and Management
Abstract
The electromagnetic spectrum is a valued shared resource. Its scientific use allows us to learn about our universe, measure and monitor our planet, and communicate scientific data. The use of the spectrum is managed by national, regional, and global regulatory frameworks. There are increasing demands for new or extended allocations because of vast technological advances in the past few years. Understanding spectrum management is important in the successful planning and execution of missions and instruments, as well as in determining the potential source of radio frequency interference in existing data and instruments, and in working to ameliorate its impact. This paper provides a summary of this framework for radio scientists and engineers.
