Spectrum resource assessment of the frequency bands from 17.7-40.5 GHz

A spectrum resource assessment (SRA) of the frequency bands from 17.7 to 40.5 GHz is described. Included is information on rules and regulations, allocations, technical standards, current and proposed usage, and planning and coordination procedures. Major issues concern Government and non-Government telecommunications requirements, and planning and coordination procedures for these bands. Recommendations include retaining the current allocation tables and planning structure, making changes to assignment procedures and documenting long range plans.
