Frequency allocation
A frequency allocation is - in accordance with Article 1.18 of the Implementing Regulations for Radio Services (VO Funk) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) - defined as " a license issued by an administration for a radio station to use a radio frequency or a frequency channel under precisely defined conditions ."
Germany
In Germany, frequency allocation is the official or legal authorization to use certain frequencies under specified conditions ( Section 55 TKG ). The authority responsible for this is the Federal Network Agency .
Usually frequencies are in the form of a general allocation granted ex officio in general. Examples of this are frequency uses for radio microphones, cordless telephones (DECT), mobile telephones (colloquially mobile phones), but also for inland navigation and the mobile maritime radio service . The Federal Network Agency publishes the general assignments in its official gazette and also on the Internet.
If general allocation is not possible, frequencies can be allocated for use as part of an individual allocation ; this is mostly done for reasons of coordination to avoid radio interference or to ensure efficient frequency use. The individual assignment is documented individually by the frequency assignment certificate. This certificate may have to be carried with the radio station concerned.
In accordance with other legal provisions, further official permits may be required to operate a radio station, such as B. an EMC certificate (protection of people and the environment). The elements referred to in § 55 TKG specified conditions usually heard also that the radios used approved or properly on the market have been brought; the latter is certified by the CE mark .
The Federal Network Agency uses the frequency plan (Section 54 TKG) as a basis for general and individual assignments. According to Section 57 TKG, the use of frequencies by the Federal Ministry of Defense does not require any frequency allocation in the frequency ranges designated exclusively for military use in the frequency plan.
