PUBLICATIONS OF THE ITU-R SECTOR 2. 2.6 Handbooks ITU-R Handbook is a text which provides a statement of the current knowledge, the present position of studies, or of good operating or technical practice, in certain aspects of radiocommunications, which should be addressed to a radio engineer, system planner or operating official who plans, designs or uses radio services or systems, paying particular attention to the requirements of developing countries. It should be self-contained, require no familiarity with other ITU Radiocommunication texts or procedures, but should not duplicate the scope and content of publications readily available outside the ITU. Spectrum Management Computer-aided Techniques for Spectrum Management (CAT) Edition of 2005 This Handbook should be seen as a complement to the handbooks 'National Spectrum Management' (Edition 2005) and 'Spectrum Monitoring' (Edition 2002). The topic of national spectrum management has evolved and become the central hot spot in the activities of all telecommunication administrations. This is particularly true for developing countries, where dramatic development of ICT technologies and their wide application have led to a heavy increase in related spectrum usage. The user/reader will find basic material and numerous models for developing efficient projects that will assist in reaching their objective - implementing automated spectrum management as soon as possible. 39 MEDIA PRICE CHF LANGUAGE ARTICLE ISBN PAGE NBR EFSA 92-61-11311-7 92-61-11312-5 92-61-11313-3 92-61-11316-8 92-61-11315-X 92-61-11314-1 27531 27532 27533 27534 27535 27536 172 172 172 170 170 172 53.- C R EFSA 53.- C R E 29390 92-61-11781-3 92-61-11797-X 53.- E, F, S, A, C, R 29392 National Spectrum Management Edition of 2005 This Handbook describes the key elements of spectrum management: spectrum management fundamentals, spectrum planning, frequency assignment and licensing, spectrum monitoring, spectrum inspection and investigation, spectrum engineering, spectrum economics, automation of spectrum management activities and measures of spectrum utilization and spectrum utilization efficiency.
