Radio regulatory considerations relating to satellite communications systems
The operation of any radio system may cause harmful interference to another. Consequently, there is a need to have some form of management of the spectrum and orbit resources in order to ensure appropriate quality of service for existing operations, at the same time permitting access to these resources for newcomers to the field. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) was estab lished to facilitate this by means of a set of procedures detailed in the radio regulations (RR). We examine here the obligations of those wishing to establish satellite communications systems under such regulations. This is an extensive and continually evolving subject and thus it is only possible to outline the key principles involved. Further specific details can be obtained from the ITU and its radio regulations.
