SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
In December 2012, DOT developed its GPS Adjacent Band Compatibility
Assessment Plan that identifies the processes to: (a) Derive adjacent-
band transmitter power limit criteria for assumed new applications
necessary to ensure continued operation of GPS services, and (b)
determine similar levels for future GPS receivers utilizing modernized
GPS and interoperable Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
signals. The draft test plan outlines the requirements, overall test
plan, and the associated output data needed to successfully perform
this component of the GPS Adjacent Band Compatibility assessment.
DOT has previously held three public workshops to discuss the
Adjacent Band Compatibility Assessment. Further background, and the
draft test plan, can be viewed at: http://www.gps.gov/spectrum/ABC/.
