Analysis of Technical Possibilities for Further Sharing of the UHF Television Band by the Land Mobile Services in the Top Ten Land Mobile Markets

摘要

In connection with authorizing the Low Power Television Service, the Commission instructed the Office of Science & Technology to evaluate the feasibility of further sharing of the UHF television band by land mobile services in the ten most congested land mobile markets. The Commission wished to determine the impact further sharing would have on the UHF-TV broadcast services in general, and on the new low power television service in particular. This report describes the analysis which was performed during the summer of 1982 with results as updated. The method is described in detail so that the analysis may be repeated in the future to assess the impact of any specific sharing proposals that may be made.
