Technical Frequency Assignment Criteria for Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE) | Ofcom (1010 words)
Technical Frequency Assignment Criteria describe the technical principles and guidelines used by JFMG to identify which particular radio frequency or radio frequency channel(s) are available for authorisation at any particular location, and under what technical conditions, from the bands specified for the relevant PMSE application.
Technical Frequency Assignment Criteria vary considerably between different types of PMSE assignments and PMSE frequency bands, but are all designed to ensure efficient use of the radio spectrum and the avoidance of interference to other radio users.
Once the assignment has been demonstrated to be compatible with the shared service, it must also be confirmed to be compatible with other coincident PMSE assignments, as would be the case in exclusive spectrum.
Frequency assignment authority (129 words)
In telecommunication, frequency assignment authority is the power granted an Administration, or its designated or delegated leader or agency via treaty or law, to specify frequencies, or frequency bands, in the electromagnetic spectrum for use in systems or equipment.
Note: Primary frequency assignment authority for the United States is exercised by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for the Federal Government and by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for non-Federal Government organizations.
International frequency assignment authority is vested in the International Frequency Registration Board of the International Telecommunication Union.
