Introduction

World Radiocommunication Conference 2012 (WRC-12) Agenda item 1.24 considers the extension of the existing primary allocation to the meteorological-satellite service in the band 7 750-7 850 MHz to the band 7 850-7 900 MHz. Applications in the meteorological satellite service are limited to non-geostationary satellites transmitting in the space-to-Earth direction. Although the same service applications are affected as in the current allocation 7 750-7 850 MHz, and noting that meteorological systems already share this band successfully with the fixed service, this assessment covers all potential modes of operation and compatibility aspects for the potential extension to 7 850-7 900 MHz.
