Synopsis

The use of radio is growing rapidly and new applications are emerging all the time. Growth and innovation require frequent modification of the radio regulations. However, the needs of different countries evolve in different ways and at different rates. It is seldom possible to sweep away old regulations to make way for new ones; instead, the new must usually be grafted onto the old. This process of accretion, continued over decades, has produced extensive and complex regulations, set down in a text which few find user-friendly. The broad survey which this book contains is intended as an introduction to radio regulation and as a directory to sources of relevant technical information. It is up-to-date at the end of 1989. It is intended as an introduction for spectrum managers to areas of radio regulation with which they are not familiar and that it will help system engineers to make fuller use of the system planning material that is available. For others with less specialised concerns, this survey may include all that they need to know of the subject.
