ECC Dec RAS - UWB • ECC/DEC/(07)01 on specific Material Sensing devices using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology – Material Sensing devices § Note 2: to protect the radio services, non fixed installations (application B) must fulfill the following requirement for Total Radiated Power: § a) In the frequency ranges 2. 5 to 2. 69 GHz and 4. 8 to 5 GHz, the Total Radiated Power spectral density has to be 10 d. B below the max e. i. r. p. spectral density § b) In the frequency ranges 3. 4 to 3. 8 GHz, the Total Radiated Power spectral density has to be 5 d. B below the max e. i. r. p. spectral density – Building Material Analysis (BMA) § Note 2: to protect the RAS bands 2. 69 to 2. 7 GHz and 4. 8 to 5 GHz, the Total Radiated Power spectral density has to be below 65 d. Bm/MHz. Summer school in Spectrum Management for Radio Astronomy Marc Le Devendec / ECO Page 25 31 May -04 June 2010

ECC Dec RAS - SRR • ECC/DEC/(04)10 on the frequency bands to be designated for the temporary introduction of Automotive Short Range Radars: – – 24 GHz SRR systems transmitting in the band 23. 6 -24 GHz with an eirp higher than -74 d. Bm/MHz or in any band listed in considering ee) with an eirp higher than - 57 d. Bm/MHz, shall be fitted with an automatic deactivation mechanism to ensure protection of Radio Astronomy sites as well as manual deactivation to ensure that emissions are restricted only to those countries that have implemented the temporary solution. In order to allow an early implementation of 24 GHz SRR Systems the automatic deactivation shall be made mandatory from 1 July 2007. Before that date, manual deactivation is required. List of RAS stations is also included Summer school in Spectrum Management for Radio Astronomy Marc Le Devendec / ECO Page 26 31 May -04 June 2010

EC Dec RAS - SRR • 2005/50/EC on the harmonisation of the 24 GHz range radio spectrum band for the time-limited use by automotive short-range radar equipment in the Community: According to footnote 5. 340 of the Radio Regulations of the ITU, all emissions are prohibited in the band 23, 6 to 24, 0 GHz, in order to protect the use on a primary basis of this band by the radio astronomy, earth exploration satellite and space research passive services. This prohibition is justified by the fact that harmful interference to these services by emissions in the band cannot be tolerated.

ECC Dec RAS - MSS • ECC/DEC/(04)09 on designation of the bands 1518 - 1525 MHz and 1670 - 1675 MHz for the Mobile-Satellite Service – the band 1668‑ 1670 MHz is heavily used by the radio astronomy service in Europe and therefore in order to protect radio astronomy use, it is not appropriate for the mobile-satellite service to operate in the band 1668 -1670 MHz within CEPT countries; Summer school in Spectrum Management for Radio Astronomy Marc Le Devendec / ECO Page 28 31 May -04 June 2010

ECO: European Communications Office • ECO was formally established on 1 July 2009 following the merger of the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) and the European Telecommunications Office (ETO) • ECO provides advice and support to the CEPT to help it to develop and deliver its policies and decisions in an effective and transparent way. Its core duties are to provide a European centre of expertise in electronic communications, to contribute to the work of the three CEPT committees and to manage the CEPT’s day-to-day activities. • ECO further supports the CEPT member countries and other stakeholders providing a forum to debate and advance European communications policy for the benefit of all Europe’s citizens.
