Radiodetermination

As defined by FS-1037C and ITU Radio Regulations, radiodetermination is:[1] the determination of the position, velocity or other characteristics of an object, or the obtaining of information relating to these parameters, by means of the propagation properties of radio wavesThere are two main fields to radiodetermination:[1] Radar is a radiodetermination system based on the reflection (or retransmission) of a radio wave by an object at a position to be determined.

Radiodetermination-satelliteservice is – according to Article 1.41 of the ITU-RR[2] – defined as "A radiocommunication service for the purpose of radiodetermination involving the use of one or more space stations.

[3] In order to improve harmonisation in spectrum utilisation, the majority of service-allocations stipulated in this document were incorporated in national Tables of Frequency Allocations and Utilisations which is within the responsibility of the appropriate national administration.

Each radiodetermination station shall be classified by the radiocommunication service in which it operates permanently or temporarily.
