ITU-R: 23cm ham radio band and Sat-Nav Coexistence

During the period October 20-29, 2021, the IARU continued to engage in the
preparatory work for WRC-23 agenda item 9.1b in ITU‑R Working Party 4C
(WP4C).
The IARU Region 1 reports says:
The working party is considering simulations provided by two
administrations to estimate the interfered area that might exist around a
23cm band amateur service transmitter. A number of amateur station
configurations are under consideration identified as “Home Station 1”,
“Home Station 2” and “Permanent Station” (e.g. Repeater station) based on
characteristics developed and contributed by the IARU. Both narrowband and
wideband emissions are considered. Two further scenarios are included in
which “Home Station 1” operates with antenna uptilt as an amateur satellite
uplink station and in which “Home Station 2” operates with antenna uptilt
as an E‑M-E station.
The IARU representatives contributed to an off-line email discussion to
ensure the amateur station parameters used are more representative than
those that had been proposed in the original contribution papers. The
studies were revised based on these negotiations during the meeting and are
reflected in the draft working document. The interim results show
interference distances of up to several km depending on the antenna and
power level assumed. Work on these studies will continue into the next
meeting.
Other measurements campaigns are investigating the effect of offsetting the
transmission frequency of various amateur signals with respect to the
centre frequency of the RNSS signal and the impact of the RNSS receiver
bandwidth.
The IARU is working to ensure the amateur services are realistically
represented in the studies as they move forward and remain consistent with
the information developed in WP5A. It remains vital that national amateur
communities present their views on the importance of this band to their
national regulators in a consolidated and consistent manner.
The work on this topic will continue throughout the year both in ITU‑R and
in the regional telecommunications organisations and the IARU is committed
to ensure every group hears the amateur position on this important
microwave band.

The parallel work in CEPT SE40 is tracking the activity in the ITU‑R and is
at a similar stage of development. This is also within the purview of the
R1 SRLC.
