Outline of radio science

One way of outlining the subject of radio science is listing the topics associated with it by authoritative bodies.

Union of Radio Science International (URSI)

edit

The International Union of Radio Science has several commissions corresponding to the following topics of interest:[1]

International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R)

edit

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) has several study groups, each made of working parties, as follows:[2]

  • Study Group 1 – Spectrum management
    • 1A: Spectrum engineering techniques
    • 1B: Spectrum management methodologies and economic strategies
    • 1C: Spectrum monitoring
  • Study Group 3 – Radiowave propagation
    • 3J: Propagation fundamentals
    • 3K: Point-to-area propagation
    • 3L: Ionospheric propagation and radio noise
    • 3M: Point-to-point and Earth-space propagation
  • Study Group 4 – Satellite services
  • Study Group 5 – Terrestrial services
  • Study Group 6 – Broadcasting service
    • 6A: Terrestrial broadcasting delivery
    • 6B: Broadcast service assembly and access
    • 6C: Programme production and quality assessment
  • Study Group 7 – Science services
    • 7A: Time signals and frequency standard emissions: Systems and applications (terrestrial and satellite) for dissemination of standard time and frequency signals
    • 7B: Space radiocommunication applications: Systems for transmission/reception of telecommunicated and tele-metry data
    • 7C: Remote sensing systems: for space operation and for space research
    • 7D: Radio astronomy: remote sensing systems and applications for Earth exploration meteorology and planetary sensing.
