The Spectrum The spectrum is divided into a number of frequency bands, each possessing characteristics peculiar to it which determine the usage appropriate to that band. Each band has been allocated by international agreement at a World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) to one or more radio services or for specific usages. Sponsored by the International Telecommunication Union (a United Nations agency), WRCs are held to extend, review and revise frequency allocations among the various uses. After WRC conferences and when Canadas needs change Industry Canada allocates specific frequency bands to services to satisfy domestic communications requirements as shown on this chart. The official regulatory provisions that pertain to frequency allocations in Canada are contained in the Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations and the related spectrum policies. Among radio spectrum users are broadcasters, taxis, building and other construction trades, air transportation, radio amateurs, marine transportation, telecommunications carriers, electrical power utilities, trucking companies, police, and federal, provincial, territorial and municipal departments and agencies. This chart is based on the 2007 Canadian Table of Frequency Allocations, which was developed from decisions of World Radio Conferences, including WRC-03. The chart provides a graphic representation of Canadian electromagnetic spectrum allocations between 9 Hz and 275 GHz. For further information on spectrum or radio matters, contact the Spectrum and Radio Policy Directorate, Industry Canada, Ottawa (e-mail: dgtp-dsrs@ic.gc.ca) or one of its regional offices in Moncton, Montral, Toronto, Winnipeg or Vancouver.

RADIO SPECTRUM ALLOCATIONS IN CANADA

Industrie Canada

Radio waves use the electromagnetic spectrum. The lowest frequencies have the longest radio waves and the highest frequencies have the shortest radio waves.

Radio waves are characterized according to their frequency, the unit for which is the hertz (Hz). The frequency is determined by the number of complete waves propagated through a medium past a fixed point in one second. Thus, the frequency of a signal where one wave passes a fixed point in one second is one hertz. A kilohertz (kHz) represents 1000 waves passing a point in one second, or 1000 hertz. One megahertz (MHz) is 1000 kilohertz and a gigahertz (GHz) is 1000 megahertz.

Les ondes radiolectriques utilisent le spectre lectromagntique. Aux frquences les plus basses correspondent les ondes radio les plus longues et aux frquences les plus leves, les ondes radio les plus courtes. Les ondes radio se caractrisent par leur frquence, qui se mesure en hertz (Hz). La frquence est dtermine par le nombre dondes compltes franchissant un point fixe dun support en une seconde. On dira donc dun signal pour lequel une onde franchit un point fixe en une seconde quil a une frquence de 1 hertz. Le kilohertz (kHz) quivaut 1 000 ondes par seconde, soit 1 000 hertz, le mgahertz, 1 000 kilohertz et le gigahertz (GHz), 1 000 mgahertz.

Le spectre se compose de bandes de frquences possdant chacune des particularits qui en dterminent lutilisation. Chaque bande est attribue un ou plusieurs services radio ou des usages dtermins par voie daccords internationaux signs une Confrence mondiale des radiocommunications (CMR). Organises sous lgide dun organisme des Nations Unies, lUnion internationale des tlcommunications, les CMR ont pour but dtendre, dtudier et de rviser lattribution des bandes de frquences. lissue de chacune de ces confrences et quand des changements simposent au Canada, Industrie Canada attribue des bandes de frquences particulires certains services, de manire sadapter aux besoins du pays en matire de communications, comme lillustre le graphique cidessous. Les dispositions officielles de la rglementation touchant lattribution des frquences au Canada figurent dans le Tableau canadien dattribution des bandes de frquences et dans les politiques connexes dutilisation du spectre.

Parmi les utilisateurs du spectre radiolectrique, on compte les radiodiffuseurs, les compagnies de taxi, lindustrie du btiment et dautres secteurs de la construction, les transporteurs ariens, les radioamateurs, les transporteurs maritimes, les entreprises de tlcommunications, les services publics dlectricit, les entreprises de camionnage, la police, ainsi que les ministres ou organismes fdraux, provinciaux, territoriaux et municipaux. Ce graphique est fond sur la version 2007 du Tableau canadien dattribution des bandes de frquences, rsultant des diverses Confrences mondiales des radiocommunications, notamment la CMR-03. Il fournit la reprsentation graphique des attributions de frquences radiolectriques au Canada, entre 9 et 275 GHz. Pour obtenir plus de renseignements sur le spectre ou les radiocommunications, veuillez communiquer avec la Direction des politiques du spectre et de la radiocommunication dIndustrie Canada Ottawa (courriel: dgtp-dsrs@ic.gc.ca), ou avec lun des bureaux rgionaux Moncton, Montral, Toronto, Winnipeg et Vancouver.
