Receiver Spectrum Standards. Phase 1-Summary of Research into Existing Standards

摘要

As part of the overall spectrum management process, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have developed radio regulations to help ensure that the various radio services operate compatibly in the same environment without unacceptable levels of radio frequency interference.In recent years, there have been a growing number of cases of non-cochannel interference that has been caused by inadequate performance of receivers instead of by transmitter performance.The objective of this task is to undertake a broad review of receiver spectrum standards to characterize their status and to explore needs and options for promoting the use of more interference-robust receivers. The first phase includes the identification of existing standards, both mandatory and voluntary. This report presents the results of this first phase. The second phase will examine the underlying requirements, assess trade-offs among potential regulatory approaches and develop appropriate recommendations.
