Update of ERC Report 25 (European Common Allocation Table)

WG FM#100 (October 2021) approved the revised ERC Report 25 (European Common Allocation Table) for publication. 

An overview on the civil-military meeting (23-24 November 2016 in Prague) and the results based on the presentation which was produced as the “outcome document” is in doc. FM(17)005-Annex 05.

WGFM#88 decided to keep the working methods for the Civ/Mil meeting (last revision 2010, see doc. FM(17)005-Annex 4), only subject to possible editorial amendments.

The next Civil-Military Meeting will take place 31 May - 1 June 2022 in Amsterdam at the kind invitation of the Netherlands.

• ECC Decision (19)04 on Airborne earth stations, 12.75 - 13.25 GHz.

1. Study of technical aspects of use for Space Based Solar Power applications (transferring power wirelessly from space), operating in the 2 400 – 2 483.5 MHz, 5 725–5 875 MHz and 9 925–10 075 MHz bands (space-to-Earth), and their related ground components.
2. Assess coexistence and potential interference from SBSP applications (transferring power wirelessly from space) transmissions and associated unwanted emissions to in-band and adjacent-bands radiocommunication services and applications, and to passive services such as the radio astronomy in accordance with applicable ITU-R and CEPT protection criteria and with regards to receiver saturation effects.
3. Study of technical aspects of the pilot beam (Earth-to-space) as an SBSP (transferring power wirelessly from space) safety mechanism, in candidate frequencies 2 400 – 2 483.5 MHz, 5 725–5 875 MHz and 9 925–10 075 MHz, duly taking into account governmental usages. Candidate pilot beam frequencies for SBSP to be identified.

As a first step, WG SE is requested to conduct technical studies. Further work, if deemed necessary, will be discussed by WG FM when these studies are completed.
