Abstract :
To alleviate worsening electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to congestion in the 138-150.8 MHz band, in 1982 the US Navy launched an engineering effort to realign systematically its Navy and USMC users in major geographic areas where it operates. The band is allocated to fixed, mobile, and radio navigation satellite services, but the military services use the band primarily for nontactical mobile communication. This effort is described in detail, including its goals, network architecture, realignment criteria, electromagnetic radiation patterns, network grouping, and realignment planning.<>
