v 0.8Interference Protection Requirements
This document is intended to serve as a foundation that broadcast engineering experts may use to further refine the specific techniques, equations and practices required to accommodate real-world scenarios and comply with the Rules.
The Commission addresses protected services from the context of two large categories: 1) Those services already registered with the Commission and 2) Those services not registered with the Commission but otherwise entitled to some form of protection
The principle mechanism interference avoidance in the Report & Order is geographic separation, and each protected service requires its own unique method and practice to calculate geographic separation requirements.
