Spectrum Engineering |
Spectrum Engineering has responsibility for co-ordinating UK positions on sharing and compatibility issues within the international fora, including, CEPT/ERC WGSE, CPG, ITU and WRCs.
Leading issues which are not service specific, such as:
 |
development of ITU Spectrum Strategy based on DSI process |
|
unwanted emissions and protection of sensitive services |
|
preparation of an ITU Radio Data Dictionary for spectrum management database design |
|
sharing between various services around 5GHz |
Co-ordinate Agency and UK positions in WGSE and ITU-R Study Group 1, such as
|
spectrum sharing studies in support of WRC-2003 and WRC-2006 agenda items |
|
review service definitions for wireless interactive multimedia applications |
|
spectrum sharing in the band 2.7 - 3.4GHz |
Statistical simulation techniques, such as Monte Carlo, are widely accepted to be the most realistic way to simulate the modern radio environment. Traditional 'worst case' calculations tend to produce results with considerable safety margins. While this may be desirable, or even essential, when considering safety of life services with very stringent protection requirements, it can lead to inefficient spectrum management if applied to all services.
The SEAMCAT software is distributed by the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO). It is available either on CD-ROM, or by downloading from the ERO web site: www.ero.dk. The software is fully functional and free of charge. Arrangements have also been made with the ITU for SEAMCAT to be included in the ITU Catalogue of Software. An ITU Report on SEAMCAT is currently in the approval process.
