Proposed Amendment for Earth Station Radio Equipment Standards in Korea
The Korean government has released a proposed amendment to establish technical standards for earth stations (user terminals) that communicate with low Earth orbit satellites. These updates aim to enhance communication technology in the 11 ~ 14 GHz frequency band and ensure efficient operations at altitudes between 1,100 km and 1,300 km.
Why Is This Amendment Important?
The amendment is designed to:
- Set clear standards for earth stations that communicate with satellites.
- Prevent radio interference and ensure efficient satellite communication.
- Enhance the management and safety of low Earth orbit satellite operations.
Key Details of the Amendment
🔹 Operational Parameters
Specifies essential parameters, including the counterpart space station and the operational frequencies for earth stations (user terminals).
🔹 Radio Station Requirements
Defines basic requirements for radio stations, such as satellite tracking capabilities and transmission control measures.
🔹 Interference Protection
Regulates the transmission and reception parameters for earth stations and outlines safeguards to minimize interference with other radio stations.
How to Submit Your Opinion
The government is encouraging public feedback on this amendment. If you would like to share your thoughts, submissions are open until March 4, 2025.
