NTIA-commissioned reports examine the role of radiofrequency receivers in improving spectrum efficiency
NTIA commissioned MITRE to prepare two comprehensive reports and recommend best practices on receiver design and performance, in recognition of its critical role in spectrum management. The reports focus on the highly diverse radios used in federal missions, but also issue more general analysis and recommendations.
18 GHz Band Report
As directed by the 2023 National Spectrum Strategy (NSS), the frequency band 18.1-18.6 GHz (the “18 GHz band”) was identified for study for expanded federal and non-federal satellite operations, consistent with the United States position at the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU’s) 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23). WRC-23 concluded on December 23, 2023, adding co-primary space-to-space allocations for the intersatellite service (ISS) in this band.
Spectrum Pipeline Reallocation Engineering Study Follow-On: TASK 3 — Identifying Regulatory Constraints
Executive Summary
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) concludes in this report that it is technically feasible to share the 1675-1680 MHz band used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for transmission of time-sensitive satellite data with commercial wireless services.
