INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION WRC-2000 Document 308-E 22 May 2000 Original: English WORLD RADIOCOMMUNICATION CONFERENCE ISTANBUL, 8 MAY – 2 JUNE 2000 WORKING GROUP 5D Drafting Group 5D ad hoc The ad hoc Drafting Group reviewed the proposals from administrations and produced the following draft revision of footnote S5.488 and an associated draft resolution. MOD S5.488 1.7-12.2 GHz in the fixed-satellite service in Region 2 and The use of the band 11.712.2 GHz by geostationary-satellite networks in the fixed-satellite service in Region 2 is subject to previous agreement between administrations concerned and those having services, operating or planned to operate in accordance with the Table, which may be affected (see Articles S9 and S11)the provisions of Resolution XYZ (WRC-2000). For the use of the band 12.2-12.7 GHz by the broadcasting-satellite service in Region 2, see Appendix S30. D:\533565823.DOC (109033) 16.02.16 16.02.16 -2CMR2000/308-E ADD RESOLUTION [COM5/18] (WRC-2000) Protection of terrestrial services in all Regions from Region 2 GSO FSS networks using the frequency band 11.7-12.2 GHz The World Radiocommunication Conference (Istanbul, 2000), considering a) that, in Regions 1 and 3, the band 11.7-12.2 GHz is allocated on a co-primary status to terrestrial services and to the broadcasting-satellite service; b) that, in Region 2, the band 11.7-12.1 GHz is allocated on a co-primary status to terrestrial services (except in the countries listed in S5.486) and to the fixed-satellite service; c) that, in Region 2, the band 12.1-12.2 GHz is allocated on a co-primary status to terrestrial services in Peru (see S5.489) and to the fixed-satellite service; d) that the protection of the broadcasting-satellite service in Regions 1 and 3 from the fixed-satellite service in Region 2 is assured by Article 7 and Annex 4 to Appendix S30; e) that the protection of the fixed-satellite service in Region 2 from the fixed-satellite service in Region 2 is assured either by S9 (S9.7 or S9.12) or S22; f) that the protection of terrestrial services in Regions 1, 2 and 3 from non-geostationary satellite systems in the fixed-satellite service in Region 2 is assured by S21; g) that there is a need to protect terrestrial services in Regions 1, 2 and 3 from geostationary- satellite networks in the fixed-satellite service in Region 2; h) that WRC-2000 has modified No. S5.488 by revising the regulatory limitations on the operation of the GSO FSS in Region 2 in the band 11.7-12.2 GHz, recognizing a) that ITU-R has developed Recommendation ITU-R SF.674-1, dealing with sharing between the fixed-satellite service in Region 2 and the fixed service in the band 11.7-12.2 GHz in Region 2; b) that the power flux-density limits contained in Article S21 (Table S21-4) and applicable to the fixed-satellite service in the band 10.7-11.7 GHz afford an adequate protection to terrestrial services; c) that the limits referred in recognizing b) are 2 dB less stringent than the coordination thresholds contained in Recommendation ITU-R SF.674-1, resolves before an administration notifies to the Bureau or brings into use, in Region 2, a frequency assignment for a GSO FSS network in the 11.7-12.2 GHz band, it shall effect coordination with any administration of Regions 1, 2, and 3 having a primary allocation to terrestrial services in the same frequency band if the power flux-density produced on its territory exceeds the following thresholds: D:\533565823.DOC (109033) 16.02.16 16.02.16 -3CMR2000/308-E –124 dB(W/m2) in 1 MHz for 0° 5 –124 + 0.5 (-5) dB(W/m2) in 1 MHz for 5°< 25° –114 dB(W/m2) in 1 MHz for 25° where is the angle of arrival of the incident wave above the horizontal plane, in degrees.* instructs the Radiocommunication Bureau in its examination of requests for coordination or notification notices for any geostationary fixed-satellite space station operating in the band 11.7-12.2 GHz in Region 2, to determine if the power flux-density thresholds in the resolves are exceeded on the territory of any administration other than the notifying administration and, if so, to so notify both the notifying and the affected administrations. ____________ _______________ * These values relate to the pfd and angles of arrival which would be obtained under free-space propagation conditions.
