NPOESS Transmission Frequency Issues Satellite Direct Readout Conference for the Americas 11 December 02 David F. McGinnis Basic Radio Frequency Management Principals Management of radio frequencies is controlled both domestically and internationally In U.S. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) oversees all non-Federal Government frequency use (commercial, private, state and local governments) The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is responsible for Federal Government spectrum oversight Basic Radio Frequency Management Principals (cont.) Internationally, frequency management is under the purview of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland Basic Radio Frequency Management Principals (cont.) Filing of Satellite Systems -- Domestic Through NTIA Four stages of review – conceptual, experimental, developmental, operational Detailed assessment of satellite system by NTIA’s System Review Branch Need Stage 4 (operational) NTIA approval before authorization to operate system can be granted Last step in process is to obtain necessary frequency assignments from NTIA’s Frequency Assignment Subcommittee Basic Radio Frequency Management Principals (cont.) International Filing Geostationary satellites follow strict ITU coordination guidelines Non-geostationary satellites are required to file with ITU, but only respond to those administrations which request coordination NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) received 10 responses for coordination based on filed frequency bands by 90-day response deadline Basic Radio Frequency Management Principals (cont.) International Filing (cont.) Exchange of information (coordination) between NOAA and interested countries to determine if any potential for interference exists If interference potential exists, try to find way to either eliminate or minimize harmful interference so affected space systems can successfully meet mission objectives Bas
