SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT: Better Knowledge Needed to Take Advantage of Technologies That May Improve Spectrum Efficiency

Abstract

Recent advances in technologies that rely on the use of the radiofrequency spectrum have turned science fiction of the past into reality. Cellular telephones, wireless computer networks, global positioning system receivers, and other spectrum-dependent technologies are quickly becoming as common to everyday life as radios and televisions. Further, these technologies have become critical to a variety of government missions, including homeland security and strategic warfare.
