Frequency assignment - overview
Frequency assignment is the identification of suitable radiofrequencies for use in accordance with the ACMA legal and policy requirements. Frequency assignment requires knowledge of, and the ability to apply in an appropriate manner, the following reference information:
- the Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan
- band plans and channel plans, where they exist. (Note that most spectrum is not covered by formal band plans)
- spectrum embargoes
- ITU Radio Regulations and Recommendation
- intra-service and inter-service frequency assignment requirements
- generic technical licence conditions and special licence conditions
- classified frequency information and
- non-assigned licence data or pre-assigned frequencies.
