Spectrum Management Fundamentals

by Albert Nalbandian, ITU BR


The aim of the Radiocommunication Sector is to ensure rational, equitable, efficient and economical

use of the spectrum/orbit resource by all radio services

The spectrum management is a way to achieve this aim

spectrum is limited resource


Need for Spectrum Management

efficient and effective use of spectrum

sharing of the available spectrum

new spectrum applications


International aspects

No national boundaries for radio waves propagation

Radio systems operate on a world-wide basis

International cooperation is needed since 1903

Radio Regulations contain provisions for all radio services


International aspects

The ITU regulates spectrum utilization through:

frequency band allocation to one or more radio service(s)

allotment of a radio frequency or radio frequency channel to one or more identified countries or geographical areas, for terrestrial or space radiocommunication services
