claim protection from, the fixed service. The following pfd values shall be used as
a threshold for coordination under No. 9.21:
|
−110 dB(W/(m2 • MHz))
|
for
|
0° ≤ θ ≤ 12.6°
|
|
2.86 θ − 146 dB(W/(m2 • MHz))
|
for
|
12.6° < θ ≤ 15°

for
|
15° < θ ≤ 30°
|
|
0.067 θ − 92 dB(W/(m2 • MHz))
|
for
|
30° < θ ≤ 90°
|
where θ is the angle of arrival of the incident wave above the horizontal plane, in
degrees.
This criterion should be applied at the border of the territory of another administration
for any aircraft station located at an altitude of up to 15 km above the ground. In
conducting the calculations, the most recent version of Recommendation ITU-R P.525 should
be used. (WRC-23)
5.531F In order to protect stations of the Earth exploration-satellite service (passive)

Nos. 9.17 and 9.18 do not apply. (WRC-12)
5.532AA The allocation to the fixed service in the frequency band 24.25-25.25 GHz is identified
for use in Region 2 by high-altitude platform stations (HAPS). This identification
does not preclude the use of this frequency band by other fixed-service applications
or by other services to which this frequency band is allocated on a co-primary basis,
and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations. Such use of the fixed-service
allocation by HAPS is limited to the HAPS-to-ground direction and shall be in accordance
with the provisions of Resolution 166 (Rev.WRC-23). (WRC-23)
5.532AB The frequency band 24.25-27.5 GHz is identified for use by administrations wishing
to implement the terrestrial component of International Mobile Telecommunications
(IMT). This identification does not preclude the use of this frequency band by any
application of the services to which it is allocated and does not establish priority

for the provision of feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite service.
5.540
Additional allocation: the band 27.501-29.999 GHz is also allocated to the fixed-satellite service (space-
to-Earth) on a secondary basis for beacon transmissions intended for up-link power
control.
5.541 In the band 28.5-30 GHz, the earth exploration-satellite service is limited to the
transfer of data between stations and not to the primary collection of information
by means of active or passive sensors.
5.541A Feeder links of non-geostationary networks in the mobile-satellite service and geostationary
networks in the fixed-satellite service operating in the band 29.1-29.5 GHz (Earth-to-space)
shall employ uplink adaptive power control or other methods of fade compensation,
such that the earth station transmissions shall be conducted at the power level required
to meet the desired link performance while reducing the level of mutual interference
between both networks. These methods shall apply to networks for which Appendix 4 coordination information is considered as having been received by the Bureau after
17 May 1996 and until they are changed by a future competent world radiocommunication
conference. Administrations submitting Appendix 4 information for coordination before this date are encouraged to utilize these techniques
to the extent practicable. (WRC-2000)

service for telemetry, tracking, and control purposes, on a secondary basis.
5.543A (SUP – WRC-19)
5.543B The allocation to the fixed service in the frequency band 31-31.3 GHz is identified
for worldwide use by high-altitude platform stations (HAPS). This identification does
not preclude the use of this frequency band by other fixed-service applications or
by other services to which this frequency band is allocated on a co-primary basis,
and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations. Such use of the fixed-service
allocation by HAPS shall be in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 167 (Rev.WRC-23). (WRC-23)
5.544 In the band 31-31.3 GHz the power flux-density limits specified in Article 21, Table 21-4 shall apply to the space research service.
5.545
Different category of service: in Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the allocation of the

and 64-66 GHz are available for high-density applications in the fixed service. Administrations
should take this into account when considering regulatory provisions in relation to
these bands. Because of the potential deployment of high-density applications in the
fixed-satellite service in the frequency bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40.5-42 GHz (see No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential constraints to high-density
applications in the fixed service, as appropriate. (WRC-23)
5.547A Administrations should take practical measures to minimize the potential interference
between stations in the fixed service and airborne stations in the radionavigation
service in the 31.8-33.4 GHz band, taking into account the operational needs of the
airborne radar systems. (WRC-2000)
5.547B

service and the fixed and mobile services, Resolution 752 (WRC-07) shall apply. (WRC-07)
5.550B The frequency band 37-43.5 GHz, or portions thereof, is identified for use by administrations
wishing to implement the terrestrial component of International Mobile Telecommunications
(IMT). This identification does not preclude the use of this frequency band by any
application of the services to which it is allocated and does not establish priority
in the Radio Regulations. Because of the potential deployment of FSS earth stations
within the frequency range 37.5-42.5 GHz and high-density applications in the fixed-satellite
service in the frequency bands 39.5-40 GHz in Region 1, 40-40.5 GHz in all Regions
and 40.5-42 GHz in Region 2 (see No. 5.516B), administrations should further take into account potential constraints to IMT in

system in the fixed-satellite service is subject to the application of the provisions
of No. 9.12 for coordination with other non-geostationary- satellite systems in the fixed-satellite
service but not with non-geostationary-satellite systems in other services. Resolution
770 (WRC-19) shall also apply, and No. 22.2 shall continue to apply. (WRC-19)
5.550CA Non-geostationary-satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service operating with
an apogee altitude above 407 km and below 2 000 km in the frequency band 37.5-38 GHz
shall not exceed an unwanted emission e.i.r.p. density of −21 dB(W/100 MHz) per space
station for angles greater than 65.0° from nadir relative to the space station in
the fixed-satellite service in the frequency band 36-37 GHz in order to protect the
Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) operating in the latter frequency band.
(WRC-23)
5.550D The allocation to the fixed service in the frequency band 38-39.5 GHz is identified
for worldwide use by administrations wishing to implement high-altitude platform stations
(HAPS). In the HAPS-to-ground direction, the HAPS ground station shall not claim protection
from stations in the fixed, mobile and fixed-satellite services; and No. 5.43A does not apply. This identification does not preclude the use of this frequency band
by other fixed-service applications or by other services to which this frequency band
is allocated on a co-primary basis and does not establish priority in the Radio Regulations.
Furthermore, the development of the fixed-satellite, fixed and mobile services shall
not be unduly constrained by HAPS. Such use of the fixed-service allocation by HAPS
shall be in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 168 (Rev.WRC-23). (WRC-23)
5.550E The use of the frequency bands 39.5-40 GHz and 40-40.5 GHz by non-geostationary-satellite
systems in the mobile-satellite service (space-to-Earth) and by non-geostationary-satellite

ITU-R S.1586-1 and the reference antenna pattern and the maximum gain of an antenna
in the radio astronomy service given in Recommendation ITU-R RA.1631-0 and shall apply
over the whole sky and for elevation angles higher than the minimum operating angle
θmin of the radiotelescope (for which a default value of 5° should be adopted in the absence
of notified information).
These values shall apply at any radio astronomy station that either:
-
– was in operation prior to 5 July 2003 and has been notified to the Bureau before 4 January
2004; or
-
– was notified before the date of receipt of the complete Appendix 4 information for coordination or notification, as appropriate, for the space station
to which the limits apply.
Other radio astronomy stations notified after these dates may seek an agreement with
administrations that have authorized the space stations. In Region 2, Resolution 743 (WRC-03) shall apply. The limits in this footnote may be exceeded at the site of a radio astronomy
station of any country whose administration so agreed. (WRC-15)

5.564AFor the operation of fixed and land mobile service applications in frequency bands
in the range 275-450 GHz:
The frequency bands 275-296 GHz, 306-313 GHz, 318-333 GHz and 356-450 GHz are identified
for use by administrations for the implementation of land mobile and fixed service
applications where no specific conditions are necessary to protect Earth exploration-satellite
service (passive) applications.
The frequency bands 296-306 GHz, 313-318 GHz and 333-356 GHz may only be used by fixed
and land mobile service applications when specific conditions to ensure the protection
of Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) applications are determined in accordance
with Resolution 731 (Rev.WRC-23).
In those portions of the frequency range 275-450 GHz where radio astronomy applications
are used, specific conditions (e.g. minimum separation distances and/or avoidance
angles) may be necessary to ensure protection of radio astronomy sites from land mobile
and/or fixed service applications, on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with Resolution
731 (Rev.WRC-23).
The use of the above-mentioned frequency bands by land mobile and fixed service applications
does not preclude use by, and does not establish priority over, any other applications
of radio services in the range of 275-450 GHz. (WRC-23)
5.565 The following frequency bands in the range 275-1 000 GHz are identified for use by
administrations for passive service applications:
-
– radio astronomy service: 275-323 GHz, 327-371 GHz, 388-424 GHz, 426-442 GHz, 453-510 GHz,
623-711 GHz, 795-909 GHz and 926-945 GHz;
-
– Earth exploration-satellite service (passive) and space research service (passive):
275-286 GHz, 296-306 GHz, 313-356 GHz, 361-365 GHz, 369-392 GHz, 397-399 GHz, 409-411 GHz,
416-434 GHz, 439-467 GHz, 477-502 GHz, 523-527 GHz, 538-581 GHz, 611-630 GHz, 634-654 GHz,

857-862 GHz, 866-882 GHz, 905-928 GHz, 951-956 GHz, 968-973 GHz and 985-990 GHz.
The use of the range 275-1 000 GHz by the passive services does not preclude use of
this range by active services. Administrations wishing to make frequencies in the
275-1 000 GHz range available for active service applications are urged to take all
practicable steps to protect these passive services from harmful interference until
the date when the Table of Frequency Allocations is established in the above-mentioned
275-1 000 GHz frequency range.
All frequencies in the range 1 000-3 000 GHz may be used by both active and passive
services. (WRC-12)
