Spectrum and Propagation Measurements Division (ITS.M)
The Spectrum and Propagation Measurement Division designs, develops, and operates state-of-the-art,
automated spectrum measurement and propagation measurement systems. New spectrum and propagation
measurement capabilities are developed to support OSM, the Interdepartmental Radio Advisory
Committee (IRAC), and OA and CRADA sponsors. Spectrum occupancy trends and patterns are measured,
emission characteristics of new and existing Federal transmitter systems are measured, radio
frequency interference involving Federal systems is identified and resolved,
and radio propagation measurements are performed for model development.
- Areas and Activities include the following:
- Measure broadband spectrum occupancy;
- Measure emission characteristics of radio transmitter systems;
- Identify, analyze, and resolve radio frequency interference problems;
- Perform radio propagation measurements;
- Test advanced antenna designs;
- Design, develop and operate broadband transmitter systems to simulate signals from existing and
future transmitters;
- Perform channel-performance radio frequency measurements.
