16 Background
(1) Radiocommunications receivers used in a radio astronomy service conduct passive observations in the 1.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz frequency band.
Note: See Australian footnote reference AUS87 in Parts 2 and 3 of the spectrum plan.
(2) Due to the highly sensitive nature of such receivers, spectrum licensees are requested to have regard to such receivers operating on frequencies in and adjacent to the 1800 MHz band. A number of radio astronomy facilities operate in bands covered by Australian footnote reference AUS87 in the spectrum plan. (3) At the time this instrument was made, Australian footnote reference AUS87 in the spectrum plan stated that there are radio astronomy facilities operated by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and the University of Tasmania.
