UK Frequency Allocation Table

Post by MrWeetabix »

Ever wondered what may be lurking out there in Radio land? This document from OFCOM's website provides good detail on just what frequencies have been allocated for what use, both in the UK and beyond. Makes for some interesting reading if you have time to spare :thumbup:

UK Frequency Allocation Table

Radio waves, used by millions of people world-wide, do not conveniently stop at political or administrative boundaries. Without adequate planning and management, radio signals from different users and services would interfere with each other and radio could become useless as a means of communication.

The United Kingdom Frequency Allocation Table (UKFAT) details the uses (referred to as 'allocations') to which various frequency bands are put to the UK. It also shows the internationally agreed spectrum allocations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The ITU divided the world into three regions. These can be seen in the map below. The United Kingdom is within Region 1.

This document provides an abridged version of the UKFAT. The full version of the UKFAT can be found on the Ofcom website at http://static.ofcom.org.uk/static/spectrum/fat.html. The UKFAT in this document comprises of the allocations in use in the United Kingdom in the first column and following three columns relate to the ITU Table of Frequency Allocations for each
ITU region.
