Frequency ranges are allocated by national and international spectrum regulators for use by specific radio services which are broad classifications of system types. The program should verify that any frequency ranges planned for operation of this program element are allocated to an appropriate service for the intended use. The program should also verify that required spectrum use authorizations/assignments have been or are on track to be obtained for the desired frequency ranges per national regulations.

The program should ensure that the parameters of this program element comply with applicable national regulations on technical spectrum performance. These regulations can include, for example, requirements on frequency tolerances, frequency stability, station keeping, power flux/power spectral flux density limits, protection requirements for radio astronomers, antenna patterns, antenna pointing error, and Out-of-Band Emissions (OOBE) Limits. These pertain to general capability and performance of the spacecraft and terminal equipment. Moreover, agency or regulator direction and coordination agreements may be in-force or pending that impose additional constraints on operational configurations.
