A Study on Interfering Signals: A Case Study of Frequency Usage within the Thai-Lao PDR Common Border

Abstract
Spectrum is a resource which is greatly valuable and beneficial to the country as a whole. So, efficient spectrum management is therefore required to yield the greatest benefits to the country as a whole. Besides this, spectrum is considered a resource available to everyone because it can be found everywhere and doesn’t belong to any country in particular. Though countries vary in terms of how they benefit from frequency usage due to certain limitations like technical factors; each reserves the right to engage in frequency-related activities so long as there is no interference with the frequency usage of other countries. IN addition to this, compliance with the International Telecommunication Convention is necessary. It is also important to note that international telecommunication law is implemented by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) [1]. Therefore, management of spectrum needs to be performed under concrete assignment and regulatory planning so that they can run at their maximum capacity without causing interference and defects then resulting in a balanced frequency usage dimension [2]. Signal propagation, which often results in the inability to limit the distance of frequency distribution within Thailand’s borders, has given rise to frequency usage coordination within the common borders of Thailand and neighboring countries thus preventing RF interference [3]. Consequently, the Joint Technical Committee on Coordination and Assignment of Frequencies otherwise known as the JTC Meeting was established to prevent and solve problems concerning frequency usage within the common borders of Thailand and Laos. This has led to the enhancement of frequency usage efficiency within Thailand and Laos’ common borders. However, The interfering signal inspection results in this report are from the internal reports of the Office of the NBTC. Keywords - Common Border, Frequency, Interference, Signal, Spectrum.
