11  Protection requirements
 (1) The protection requirements for an earth receive station are set out in Annex 7 to Appendix 7 of the Radio Regulations.
 (2) Additional in-band protection requirements for earth receive stations in the 2.3 GHz band are those set out in ITU-R Recommendation SF.1006 "Determination of the interference potential between earth stations of the fixed-satellite service and stations in the fixed service".
Note 1: Some 2.3 GHz spectrum licences may have a licence condition requiring compliance with provisions of ITU-R Recommendation SF.1006.
Note 2: ITU-R Recommendation SF.1006 is available, free of charge, from the International Telecommunication Union's website at www.itu.int.
 (3) In addition, protection requirements for radiocommunications receivers used for the purpose of the space research service in the 2290 MHz to 2300 MHz frequency band are set out in RALI MS 37.
Note 1: Some 2.3 GHz spectrum licences may have a licence condition requiring compliance with provisions of RALI MS 37 in certain circumstances.
Note 2: The protection requirements in RALI MS 37 apply in relation to blocking of radiocommunications receivers that are not specifically considered by Annex 7 to Appendix 7 of the Radio Regulations.
 (4) In planning for the operation of radiocommunications transmitters under a 2.3 GHz spectrum licence, licensees should consider RALI MS 37.
 (5) Additional information on the protection and coordination requirements for radiocommunications receivers used for the purpose of the space research service are set out in the following:
(a) ITU-R Recommendation SA.363 "Space operation systems";
(b) ITU-R SA.509 "Space research earth station and radio astronomy reference antenna radiation pattern for use in interference calculations, including coordination procedures";
(c) ITU-R Recommendation SA.609 "Protection Criteria for radiocommunications links for manned and unmanned near-Earth research satellites";
(d) ITU-R Recommendation SA.1014 "Telecommunications requirements for manned and unmanned deep-space research";
(e) ITU-R Recommendation SA.1016 "Sharing considerations relating to Deep-Space research";
(f) ITU-R Recommendation SA.1154 "Provisions to protect the space research (SR), space operations (SO) and Earth exploration satellite services (EES) and to facilitate sharing with the mobile service in the 2 025-2 110 MHz and 2 200-2 290 MHz bands";
(g) ITU-R Recommendation SA.1157 "Protection criteria for deep-space research";
(h) ITU-R Recommendation SA.1743 "Maximum allowable degradation to radiocommunication links of the space research and space operation services arising from interference from emissions and radiations from other radio sources".
Note: The ITU-R Recommendations are available, free of charge, from the International Telecommunication Union's website at www.itu.int.
