Possible new FSS allocations, 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15) Agenda Item 1.6

Proposed Use 10–17 GHz Agenda Item 1.6.1 (Region 1) 13–17 GHz Agenda Item 1.6.2 (Regions 2 & 3)

1.6 to consider possible additional primary allocations:

1.6.1 to the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space and space-to Earth) of 250 MHz in the range between 10 GHz and 17 GHz in Region 1

1.6.2 to the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space) of 250 MHz in Region 2 and 300 MHz in Region 3 within the range 13-17 GHz;

and review the regulatory provisions on the current allocations to the fixed-satellite service within each range, taking into account the results of ITU-R studies, in accordance with Resolutions COM6/4 (WRC-12) and COM6/5 (WRC-12), respectively

Airport Surface Detection Radars (ASDE-3)

Current Use 15.7–16.2 GHz Airport Surface Detection Equipment model 3 (ASDE-3) radars

The Airport Surface Detection Equipment (model 3) radars track aircraft and vehicles on the ground to help avoid collisions, runway incursions, and other safety issues. ADSE-3 is a legacy system to the newer-generation ASDE-X installations (9000-9200 MHz), which work better in the rain and incorporate information from additional sources for more reliable data.

In the U.S., ASDE-3 is installed at approximately 30 large airports.
