Partial Support of the Committee on Radio Frequencies

在处理无线电频谱分配和有效使用的国家和国际组织面前，CORF在捍卫美国科学界的无线电频率利益方面发挥着至关重要的作用。CORF的一项主要活动是参与联邦通信委员会（FCC）就无线电频率的分配和分配以及其他监管事项进行的公开辩护。在过去的三年里，在上一个拨款期间，CORF向FCC提交了有关修订国家无线电安静区（NRQZ）无线电频率应用规则的意见，当这种转让对频谱的科学用途产生影响时，从政府转移到私营部门的各种频段的使用（例如在4.9 GHz或1427-1430 MHz），修订超宽带（UWB）系统的规则，还有其他事情。在未来3年期间，预计CORF将对美国对WRC-03结果的实施情况、美国对WRC-06的建议、干扰温度概念的实施以量化干扰、对卫星上发射机虚假发射对射电天文学的影响等进行评论。预计CORF还将继续与FCC就毫米波频谱使用相关问题进行合作，并加强与FCC委员和工作人员的联系，以支持科学活动。

AST-0410006The CORF plays an essential role in defending the radio frequency interests of the U.S. scientific community before national and international organizations that deal with the allocation and efficient use of the radio spectrum. A major CORF activity centers on participation in public pleadings before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding allocation and assignment of radio frequencies and other regulatory matters. During the past 3-years, covering the previous grant period, CORF filed comments before the FCC in matters related to the revision of rules governing radio frequency applications in the National Radio Quiet zone (NRQZ), uses of various frequency bands that were transferred from the Government to the private sector when such transfer had an impact on scientific uses of the spectrum, (e.g. at 4.9 GHz or 1427-1430 MHz), revision of the rules governing ultra wide-band (UWB) systems, and other matters. During the coming 3-year period, CORF is expected to comment on the U.S. implementation of the results of WRC-03, U.S. proposals to WRC-06, the implementation of the interference temperature concept to quantify interference, to and the impact on radio astronomy of spurious emissions from transmitters on board of satellites, among others. CORF is also expected to continue working with the FCC on issues related to millimeter wave spectrum use and to intensify contacts with the FCC commissioners and staff, in support of science activities.
