Spectrum resource assessment in the 5650-5925 MHz

A spectrum resource assessment of the 5650-5925 MHz band was made. Included is information on rules and regulations, allocations, technical standards, frequency assignments, system characteristics, and applicable compability analysis. Problems of concern to the U.S. Government usage of the band are identified, analyzed and recommendations made. Major issues concerned the introduction of a Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) in the band and current usage of that portion of the band designated for industrial, scientific and medical purposes. It is concluded that power limitations for radars should be considered as an option to minimize potential interference problems with satellites which may become operational in the 5850-5925 MHz portion of the band. It is also concluded that in-band radiation limits be considered for the industrial, scientific and medical designed frequency at 5800 plus or minus MHz to help protect Government investment and future Fixed-Satellite Service usage.
