Support for the 4th School on Spectrum Management for Radio Astronomy, April 7-11, 2014.

该奖项将为为期一周的频谱管理学校提供部分支持，该学校将于2014年4月7日至11日在智利圣地亚哥的联合阿尔马天文台办公室举行。重点是保护射电天文学频率免受世界各地工业和政府的侵犯。该学院将提供与射电天文学家使用频谱有关的技术和监管问题的全面概述。在过去的几十年中，由于无线应用的需求和可用性的增加，对频谱的需求大幅增加。 频谱管理是射电天文学以及其他无线电服务的重要任务，但它不是任何学术课程的一部分。IUCAF频谱管理学院由该领域的专家介绍了技术，科学和国际外交的独特组合。 有兴趣从事这一领域的射电天文学家将通过这所学校获得宝贵的培训;这一建议的更广泛影响在于这种培训。

This award will provide partial support for a one-week school on spectrum management to be held at the Joint ALMA Observatory offices in Santiago, Chile, during April 7-11, 2014. The emphasis is on protection of radio astronomy frequencies against encroachment by industry and governments throughout the world. The school will provide a comprehensive overview of both technical and regulatory issues related to radio astronomers' use of the spectrum. In the past few decades demands on the spectrum have increased substantially due to increases in the demand and availability of wireless applications. Spectrum management is an importance task for radio astronomy as well as for other radio services, but it is not part of any academic curriculum. The IUCAF Spectrum Management School provides an introduction to a unique combination of technology, science and international diplomacy by experts in this field. Radio astronomers interested in pursuing this area will get valuable training via this school; the broader impact of this proposal lies in this training.
