HF (High Frequency) Broadcasting Planning Model: A Comparison of Two Versions

摘要

The First Session of the World Administrative Radio Conference for the planning of the HF bands allocated to the broadcasting service held in Geneva, Switzerland, in January and February of 1984, established the technical criteria to be used in testing planning principles for the HF Broadcast services during the period between the First and Second Sessions of the Conference. The International Frequency Registration Board (IFRB) implemented these planning principles on a computer and reported the results at the Second Session of the World Administration Radio Conference. The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) adopted a parallel activity to assist the United States' preparations for the Second Session of the Conference. The report discusses the IFRB computer system and the ITS computer model and their results for the December 1985 HF broadcast plan. The results are further analyzed in terms of usage factor, tendencies in the planning process, etc.
