Regulatory issues
Task Force
The mandate of this Task Force is to carry
out the necessary preparations for registering
the SKA with the ITU. The Task Force is charged with preparing
the appropriate documentation to
further this aim, and to inform both the SEWG and the ISSC through
the Project Director of issues of global importance affecting
SKA registration with the ITU, including issues related to Radio
Quiet
Zones.
The Task Force will:
• Calculate
threshold levels for RFI for representative SKA sites making use
of propagation models and taking account of the different terrains.
• Outline
the steps involved in setting up a Radio Quiet Zone
• Create
a table of information on satellites that are likely to interfere
with the SKA
• Create
a timeline showing activities leading to registration of the SKA
with the ITU.
