Handbook of Frequency Allocations and Spectrum Protection for Scientific Uses: Second Edition The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of C ongress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, nongovernmental institution to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advis- ing the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contributions to engineering. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president. The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was establ ished in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to a dvise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president. The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understand- ing in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.

Handbook of Frequency Allocations and Spectrum Protection for Scientific Uses: Second Edition Preface This handbook was developed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Panel on Frequency Allocations and Spectrum Protection for Scientific Uses, a panel whose member- ship was drawn predominantly from the Committee on Radio Frequencies (CORF). The committee was given the following task: An ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Research Council will prepare the second edition of the 2007 NRC report, “Handbook of Frequency Allocations and Spectrum Protection for Scientific Uses.” The report will describe the radio frequency bands used by the scientific services, primarily the passive radio astronomy and Earth remote-sensing services. The report will include relevant regulatory information and a discussion of the scientific use of frequency bands. It will serve as a reference or handbook, guiding spectrum managers and spectrum regulatory bodies on science issues, serving as a resource to scientists on spectrum regulation for research, and providing information to other spectrum users on the concerns of the scientific users of the spectrum. It will not contain any recommendations. The volume sets forth the principles for the allocation and protection of spectral bands for services using the radio spectrum for scientific research. The purposes of the handbook are as follows: • To document the panel’s positions on spectrum issues, • To guide spectrum managers and spectrum regulatory bodies on science issues, • To serve as a resource for scientists on spectrum regulation for research, and • To provide information to other spectrum users on the concerns of the scientific users of the spectrum. Among the resources used to prepare this handbook were the following: the Handbook on Radio Astronomy by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU);1 the “Redbook” of the National 1 International Telecommunication Union, Handbook on Radio Astronomy, 3rd edition, Geneva, Switzerland, 2013. ix Copyright National Academy of Sciences.
