Panel: |
If Not the Interference Temperature |
In its November 2002 report, the Federal Communications Commission's Spectrum Policy Task
Force proposed the "interference temperature" as a new metric for quantifying, managing, and
limiting the level of interference between radio communications systems. Like any completely
new idea, the inference temperature has its proponents and detractors.
This panel will evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of the interference temperature as
well as provide an opportunity to suggest an alternative that could provide the benefits an
interference temperature, for those who oppose the concept. |
