Table of Rwandan Frequency Allocations
___________________________________________________________________
iv) 56.2 dB(W/4 kHz) for narrow-band (less than 40 kHz of necessary
bandwidth) fixed-satellite service earth station emissions from any fixedsatellite service earth station having an antenna diameter of 4.5 m or
greater;
–
the e.i.r.p. density of emissions from any earth station in the fixed-satellite
service operating with a space station in non-geostationary-satellite orbit shall
not exceed 51 dBW in the 6 MHz band from 13.772 to 13.778 GHz.
Automatic power control may be used to increase the e.i.r.p. density in these frequency
ranges to compensate for rain attenuation, to the extent that the power flux-density at the fixedsatellite service space station does not exceed the value resulting from use by an earth station of an
e.i.r.p. meeting the above limits in clear-sky conditions. (WRC-03)
5.504
The use of the band 14-14.3 GHz by the radionavigation service shall be such as to
provide sufficient protection to space stations of the fixed-satellite service.
5.504A
In the band 14-14.5 GHz, aircraft earth stations in the secondary aeronautical mobilesatellite service may also communicate with space stations in the fixed-satellite service. The
provisions of Nos. 5.29, 5.30 and 5.31 apply. (WRC-03)
5.504B
Aircraft earth stations operating in the aeronautical mobile-satellite service in the band
14-14.5 GHz shall comply with the provisions of Annex 1, Part C of Recommendation ITU-R M.1643,
with respect to any radio astronomy station performing observations in the 14.47-14.5 GHz band
located on the territory of Spain, France, India, Italy, the United Kingdom and South Africa. (WRC03)
5.506
The band 14-14.5 GHz may be used, within the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space),
for feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite service, subject to coordination with other networks in the
fixed-satellite service. Such use of feeder links is reserved for countries outside Europe.
5.506A
In the band 14-14.5 GHz, ship earth stations with an e.i.r.p. greater than 21 dBW shall
operate under the same conditions as earth stations located on board vessels, as provided in
Resolution 902 (WRC-03). This footnote shall not apply to ship earth stations for which the complete
Appendix 4 information has been received by the Bureau prior to 5 July 2003.
(WRC-03)
5.510
The use of the band 14.5-14.8 GHz by the fixed-satellite service (Earth-to-space) is
limited to feeder links for the broadcasting-satellite service. This use is reserved for countries outside
Europe.
5.511A
The band 15.43-15.63 GHz is also allocated to the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth)
on a primary basis. Use of the band 15.43-15.63 GHz by the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth
and Earth-to-space) is limited to feeder links of non-geostationary systems in the mobile-satellite
service, subject to coordination under No. 9.11A. The use of the frequency band 15.43-15.63 GHz by
the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) is limited to feeder links of non-geostationary systems in
the mobile-satellite service for which advance publication information has been received by the
Bureau prior to 2 June 2000. In the space-to-Earth direction, the minimum earth station elevation
angle above and gain towards the local horizontal plane and the minimum coordination distances to
protect an earth station from harmful interference shall be in accordance with Recommendation ITU-R
S.1341. In order to protect the radio astronomy service in the band 15.35-15.4 GHz, the aggregate
power flux-density radiated in the 15.35-15.4 GHz band by all the space stations within any feederlink of a non-geostationary system in the mobile-satellite service (space-to-Earth) operating in the
2
15.43-15.63 GHz band shall not exceed the level of 156 dB(W/m ) in a 50 MHz bandwidth, into any
radio astronomy observatory site for more than 2% of the time. (WRC-2000)
5.511C
Stations operating in the aeronautical radionavigation service shall limit the effective
e.i.r.p. in accordance with Recommendation ITU-R S.1340. The minimum coordination distance
required to protect the aeronautical radionavigation stations (No. 4.10 applies) from harmful
interference from feeder-link earth stations and the maximum e.i.r.p. transmitted towards the local
