SPECTRUM is a classic rock and roll multi-function dance band consisting of 5 members; lead vocals, keyboard, bass guitar, drums, rhythm and lead guitars.
SPECTRUM is available to perform for clubs and group functions as well as anniversaries and weddings.
As a band that was started in the late 70's it has evolved into what is today a blend of good music, musicians and vocal harmony.

 The Future of American Spectrum Policy
Given that spectrum policy is so important, we must better understand the regulatory environment that exists today, because we are not writing on a blank slate.  We have shared responsibility with NTIA, and our discretion is also statutorily constrained.
For virgin bands to be licensed, the Commission must determine whether the likely potential uses are mutually exclusive.  Mutual exclusivity is important because it is the statutory trigger as to whether the Commission is required to auction the spectrum (although of course there are statutory exceptions).
That brings me to unlicensed spectrum, which is at the other end of the spectrum continuum from the property-like rights/licensed approach.  Unlicensed spectrum services evolved as the first spectrum-based service at the broadband party.

 Spectrum hungry cast eye to UHF
As licensed users vacate the band, unlicensed devices would be granted the full frequency range for dedicated use, with programmed safeguards to prevent interference with public-safety operations in the upper 700 MHz band.
Consequently, individuals should be able to use the spectrum — on a listen-before-transmit basis using smart radio technology to avoid interference — when broadcasters aren't fully using spectrum on licensed channels, the proposal suggests.
The Spectrum Coalition for Public Safety wants Congress and the FCC to stop the upper 700 MHz auction and allocate a total of 10 MHz of spectrum in the 700 MHz band for public safety and homeland security use.

 Lectrosonics-Spread Spectrum Technology
Anyone using a spread spectrum RF device that meets the necessary technical requirements and which has been pre-approved by the government is free to use it at any time and in any place, without a license.
With spread spectrum systems, there are a series of necessary tradeoffs between the number of links available, the information bandwidth, information reliability, circuit complexity and cost, the product’s physical characteristics, and several other factors.
In a spread spectrum system, however, the receivers cannot provide filtering, due to the requirement that they must be wideband designs to accept the broad RF spectrum of the transmitted signal.

 The Spectrum Bad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Spectrum traces its roots to 1979 when it was part of The Sports Club Company.
In 1999, Spectrum was sold by the Sports Club Company to its current owner and operator Brentwood Associates, a private equity firm based in Los Angeles.
Spectrum continues to pride itself on providing an upscale environment that is "a step up" from the other health clubs out there.

 Werbach Open Spectrum Paper
Transmission in the band by any other party is prohibited as “harmful interference.” This regime is considered necessary because the alternative would be a “tragedy of the commons”: a chaotic cacophony in which no one could communicate reliably.
Spread spectrum was invented in the 1940s, and has been used extensively for military and other applications that require robustness and resistance to jamming or eavesdropping (because only the receiver knows how the signal is spread across the range of frequencies).
Spectrum is scarce, so the argument goes, so either some may speak or none will be able to get their message across amid the cacophony of interfering voices.

 Industrial Modem, Wireless Modem, Narrow Band Spectrum, Data Collection, Teledesign Systems
The frequency spectrum is usually divided into free-to-use and licensed bands.
A particular band of frequency, 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz in the narrow band spectrum, has been allotted to industrial applications and is commonly referred to as the industrial narrow band spectrum.
The data used in industrial applications using narrow band spectrums is called narrow band spectrum data.

A plot of the relative absorbance or intensity of emitted light vs. wavelength or frequency that shows a smooth variation, rather than a series of sharp peaks or bands.
A plot that shows how some intensity-related property of a beam of radiation or particles depends on another property that is related to dispersal of the beam by a prism, a magnet, or some other device.
For example, a plot of light absorbance vs. wavelength is an absorption spectrum; a plot of ion abundance vs. mass is a mass spectrum.

 WiMAX as the spectrum workhorse
While the reason for this splintered spectrum approach to WiMAX is rooted in the lack of a suitable global spectrum band, it's also due to an otherwise noble plan set by the developers of the standard.
The band was set aside as an expansion band for 3G in Europe and is due to be allocated across the continent by 2008.
While the band is attractive because it overlaps with European efforts to open the same band, the FCC attached caveats that may slow down use of the band.

 Full-duplex, sub-band spread spectrum communications system (US5025452)
An improved spread spectrum communications system is provided for establishing full-duplex voice/data radio communications within a single specified FCC ISM band.
Spectrum spreading is performed relative to a plurality of sub-bands respectively defined about the lower and upper band-edges of the prescribed ISM band and having spectral roll-off characteristics which satisfy FCC requirements for radio frequency radiation outside the ISM bands on the corresponding band-edges thereof.
Full-duplex operation is implemented by the use of digital MSK modulation and associated filtering in order to conserve available bandwidth and accommodate the filtered, modulated signal within the sub-bands defined in the prescribed ISM frequency band, and the system is capable of being easily interfaced to related digital communications services.

 Wi-Fi Networking News Archives
WiMax works over long distances because the spectrum band rules in which it will be deployed for licensed service allow higher signal strength and have higher parameters in every area than the FCC Part 15 rules (and similar regulations internationally) that define Wi-Fi’s use in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band.
AirCell won an exclusive 10-year license of 3 MHz in the 800 MHz band last week, paying over $31m for the privilege; the license was technically won by a sister company, AC BidCo, which AirCell is affiliated with as a result of an in-progress reorganization that includes investment from private equity manager Ripplewood Holdings.
The FCC has, in the past, allotted spectrum for particular purposes, but there’s no way to predict whether they’ll have any truck with this proposal; nor, if they agree with its terms, to know how many (if any) lawsuits will be filed by potential competitors in the cellular data and wireless broadband industries.

 C Band interference spectrum threat at CPM and WRC 2007
In addition to BWA systems, C band spectrum is being targeted for deployment of terrestrial mobile services (“IMT”).
The only effective solution to protect satellite services in the extended and standard C band frequencies is to separate them from terrestrial systems such as WiMax or BWA by several to thousands of kms, or to find other spectrum for these services to operate.
Register your receive-only and transmitting earth stations that operate in the extended and standard C band frequencies with your local telecom regulatory authority wherever possible, so that they can be afforded the proper protection against interference.

 Markey Moving For Public Unlicensed Spectrum Band - 3/24/2003 11:31:00 AM - Wireless Week - CA520301   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Ed Markey, D-Mass., introduced a bill he calls 'The Spectrum Commons and Digital Dividends Act' that would 'require the FCC to establish a 20 MHz band of unlicensed spectrum for the general public.
The bill also requires the FCC to establish a 20 MHz band of contiguous frequencies below the 2GHz band, as well as between 3 to 500 MHz located between the 2 GHz and 6 GHz bands,' Markey told the House of Representatives in a statement late last week.
The spectrum should remain unlicensed and be a magnet for increasingly advanced wireless technology, he says.

 IEEE Spectrum: The Dawn of Digital TV
In the United States, in 2001 and 2002, the FCC auctioned off four small slices of spectrum totaling 6 MHz in the 746- to 806-MHz range, the upper 700-MHz band, that had been allocated as "guard bands." Along with the right to use the spectrum came tight rules to minimize interference with public-safety services.
In fact, congressional eagerness to reallocate the swath of spectrum is the main impetus behind a drive to set a firm date for the transition to digital television.
The FCC Auction Plan: The Lower 700: The spectrum band from 698 to 746 MHz is organized into five auction blocks, three with paired channels (A, B, and C), two as single channel blocks (D and E).

 ACA to offer private spectrum band management: ZDNet Australia: News: Communications
However, Horton assured that band managers will be required to comply with rules set down by the ACA to "ensure protection of the rights of other spectrum users".
One of the recommendations given was that spectrum licences "should be sold in encumbered spectrum and that the ACA should develop the necessary arrangements and identify suitable bands for its implementation".
The paper also said that band management licences would most likely be allocated through a market-based process; consistent with methods the ACA uses to allocate spectrum licences.
