ITS: The Nation’s Spectrum and Communications LabOur mission is to ADVANCE innovation in communications technologies, INFORM spectrum and communications policy for the benefit of all stakeholders, and INVESTIGATE our Nation’s most pressing telecommunications challenges through research that employees are proud to deliver. Learn more about ITS on our YouTube Channel or read about our research programs in the Technical Progress Report.  ISART 2020 Presentations Available Now August 18, 2020Presentations from the ISART 2020, the InternationalSymposium on Advanced Radio Technologies: 5G Spectrum and aZero-Trust Network are now available on the ... ITS Releases Open Metadata Extensions for Sharing and Reusing RF Measurement Data April 2, 2020The Open, Public, Electronic, and Necessary (OPEN) GovernmentData Act, signed into law on January 14, 2019, requires federalagencies to publish their information online as open data, usingstandardized, machine-readable... ITS Open Sources P.528 Software Implementation May 9, 2019ITS has a long history of leadership in air-to-groundpropagation model development within the InternationalTelecommunications Union – Radiocommunication Sector’s (ITU-R)Study Group 3 – Radiowave Propagation (and its... Expanding Spectrum Use: Detecting and Avoiding Radar Signals March 10, 2019How can we get more use out of the radio spectrum? One way is bysharing radio bands between users who have never shared before.Consider radio frequencies near 3.5 GHz. Until recently, that partof the spectrum was... Measurement Best Practices November 26, 2018Behind every initiative to share spectrum are models ofhow radio waves in a particular band propagate through differentenvironments. How far will a signal travel before it becomes toofaint to be useful or...

Drocella Jr.; Yang Weng; Michael Ghorbanzadeh; Edison Juleau; Nickolas LaSorte. This Technical Report provides details about protection of federal operations in the 5.850-5.925 GHz (5.9 GHz) band from new operations considered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as par... January 1958: Explorer I LaunchedOn the 31st of January 1958, the U.S. launched the Explorer I into space. The first American satellite was a joint project between the Army's Redstone Arsenal and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (the predecessor to NASA). Explorer's primary instruments were radiation detectors, developed by James Van Allen, which were intended to measure cosmic rays outside the Earth's atmosphere. Instead, the instruments detected rings of radiation in the Earth’s upper atmosphere which were named in honor of Van Allen. In Boulder, Central Radio Propagation Laboratory scientists celebrated, and used the data from Explorer along with that from the previously launched Soviet Sputniks to help understand the ionosphere, a layer of the atmosphere that reflects radio waves and allows for radio communication over long distances. For the first time, the ionosphere could be studied by looking at radio waves that had passed through it instead of reflecting off it. Soon CRPL and NASA began work on the TOPSI, or “topside sounder," project which equipped satellites with radio equipment to probe the ionosphere in order to better understand it. CRPL published ionospheric propagation predictions from January 1946 to October 1976 to assist broadcasters by providing “useful tools for effective frequency allocation, for efficient use of assigned frequencies, and for developing specifications for engineering design of high frequency communications equipment and circuits.” These prediction services and the improved understanding of the atmosphere gained through satellite sounding helped advance both commercial radio and television and public safety and military communication in the United States. Today, ITS employees continue to work to improve and safeguard satellite communications through interagency agreements with NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Defense.
