Analysis of spectrum occupation in the 3–50 MHz band in the Korean Peninsula

WRC-12 agenda item 1.15 calls for the consideration of the creation of radiolocation allocations in the 3 to 50 MHz range. These allocations will be used for the operation of oceanographic radars that monitor the sea surface for wave heights, currents and tracking of large objects. In order to review the possibility of spectrum allocations for oceanographic radars in the given frequency range, the observation of spectrum occupations was conducted over Korean radio environments. This paper analyzes the results of observation test in the Korean Peninsula. The results could facilitate the consideration of available frequency bands for new allocation to radiolocation service for oceanographic radars related to WRC-12 agenda item 1.15.
