Abstract :
The 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference will consider a number of possible changes to the International Radio Regulations that have a direct bearing on remote sensing interests throughout the world. Compatibility studies were completed to determine the interference environment for passive sensors in the 1400-1427 MHz, 10.6-10.68 GHz, 23.6-24 GHz, 31.3-31.5 GHz, 36-37 GHz, 50.2-50.4 GHz, and 52.6-54.25 GHz passive bands for WRC-07 Agenda Items 1.2, 1.17 and 1.20. Studies were also completed in support of an extension to the active sensing allocation around 9.5-9.8 GHz in support of Agenda Item 1.3. The results of these studies and the outlook for the remote sensing issues at WRC-07 are discussed.
