- L-Band / S-Band signal is used for tracking
- L-Band / S-Band signal may or may not be modulated, depending on capacity requirements
- Single ground antenna used to receive both signals
WRC 07 agenda item 2.12 propose wide band telemetry in the 3-30 GHz region, with an ICTS members proposal of an band allocation below 10 MHz
International band for mobile communication exist bet-wen 4.4 and 4.94 GHz (NL n° 3)

- UK Radio Spectrum Management Report (attachment : 2)
NL n° 4
Steve Lyons from QinetiQ Aberporth (ex-DERA) has sent us the recent report (see pdf attachment) on UK spectrum prepared by consultants for the UK DTI / Treasury. This report, along with other UK spectrum management documentation, is available from the DTI's Radiocommunications Agency which sponsors a useful web site : www.radio.gov.uk
and also hold road shows to communicate plans and seek comments etc. The RA is now part of OFCOM, a newly created government body.

Letter to the editor
NL n° 6
§ 3.2: The moving to the band 2.9-3.1 GHz is actually irrelevant
In the low part of band 2.7-2.9 GHz, partition capacity with aeronautical test telemetry frequency has already be found
§ 3.3 It is not quite conceivable to exclude radar from this band

• An alternative Spectrum Management Strategy by Pierre FUERXER
NL n° 8
The present spectrum management techniques are reaching their LIMITS. To cope with that request for more and more frequency allocations, it will be necessary to adopt new spectrum management methods.
This paper present the more promising ways to improve the global spectrum management techniques availability:
- Improvement of signals technical parameters
- Better evaluation of unintentional interference
- More realistic interference scenarios
- Precise estimation of users needs,...
Later, the paper show how new spectrum management techniques are internally used by the more recently introduced systems with the possibility of an extension to different systems sharing the same frequency band.
