apply. The limits in this footnote may be exceeded at the site of a radio astronomy station of any
country whose administration so agreed. (WRC-03)
5.552
The allocation of the spectrum for the fixed-satellite service in the bands 42.5-43.5 GHz
and 47.2-50.2 GHz for Earth-to-space transmission is greater than that in the band 37.5-39.5 GHz for
space-to-Earth transmission in order to accommodate feeder links to broadcasting satellites.
Administrations are urged to take all practicable steps to reserve the band 47.2-49.2 GHz for feeder
links for the broadcasting-satellite service operating in the band 40.5-42.5 GHz.
5.552A
The allocation to the fixed service in the bands 47.2-47.5 GHz and 47.9-48.2 GHz is
designated for use by high altitude platform stations. The use of the bands 47.2-47.5 GHz and
47.9-48.2 GHz is subject to the provisions of Resolution 122 (Rev.WRC-07). (WRC-07)
5.553
In the bands 43.5-47 GHz and 66-71 GHz, stations in the land mobile service may be
operated subject to not causing harmful interference to the space radiocommunication services to
which these bands are allocated (see No. 5.43). (WRC-2000)
5.554
In the bands 43.5-47 GHz, 66-71 GHz, 95-100 GHz, 123-130 GHz, 191.8-200 GHz and
252-265 GHz, satellite links connecting land stations at specified fixed points are also authorized
when used in conjunction with the mobile-satellite service or the radionavigation-satellite
service. (WRC-2000)
5.554A
The use of the bands 47.5-47.9 GHz, 48.2-48.54 GHz and 49.44-50.2 GHz by the fixedsatellite service (space-to-Earth) is limited to geostationary satellites. (WRC-03)
5.555
Additional allocation: the band 48.94-49.04 GHz is also allocated to the radio astronomy
service on a primary basis. (WRC-2000)
5.555B
The power flux-density in the band 48.94-49.04 GHz produced by any geostationary
space station in the fixed-satellite service (space-to-Earth) operating in the bands 48.2-48.54 GHz
2
and 49.44-50.2 GHz shall not exceed –151.8 dB(W/m ) in any 500 kHz band at the site of any radio
astronomy station. (WRC-03)
5.556
In the bands 51.4-54.25 GHz, 58.2-59 GHz and 64-65 GHz, radio astronomy
observations may be carried out under national arrangements. (WRC-2000)
5.556A
Use of the bands 54.25-56.9 GHz, 57-58.2 GHz and 59-59.3 GHz by the inter-satellite
service is limited to satellites in the geostationary-satellite orbit. The single-entry power flux-density at
all altitudes from 0 km to 1 000 km above the Earth’s surface produced by a station in the intersatellite service, for all conditions and for all methods of modulation, shall not exceed –
2
147 dB(W/(m · 100 MHz)) for all angles of arrival. (WRC-97)
5.557A
In the band 55.78-56.26 GHz, in order to protect stations in the Earth exploration-satellite
service (passive), the maximum power density delivered by a transmitter to the antenna of a fixed
service station is limited to –26 dB(W/MHz). (WRC-2000)
5.558
In the bands 55.78-58.2 GHz, 59-64 GHz, 66-71 GHz, 122.25-123 GHz, 130-134 GHz,
167-174.8 GHz and 191.8-200 GHz, stations in the aeronautical mobile service may be operated
subject to not causing harmful interference to the inter-satellite service (see No. 5.43). (WRC-2000)
5.558A
Use of the band 56.9-57 GHz by inter-satellite systems is limited to links between
satellites in geostationary-satellite orbit and to transmissions from non-geostationary satellites in highEarth orbit to those in low-Earth orbit. For links between satellites in the geostationary-satellite orbit,
the single entry power flux-density at all altitudes from 0 km to 1 000 km above the Earth’s surface, for
2
all conditions and for all methods of modulation, shall not exceed –147 dB(W/(m · 100 MHz)) for all
angles of arrival. (WRC-97)
5.559
In the band 59-64 GHz, airborne radars in the radiolocation service may be operated
subject to not causing harmful interference to the inter-satellite service (see No. 5.43). (WRC-2000)
5.560
In the band 78-79 GHz radars located on space stations may be operated on a primary
basis in the Earth exploration-satellite service and in the space research service.
