Spectrum availability

In the history of mobile telephony the scarcity of spectrum is a supply-restricting factor curbing large demand. The low capacity of pre-cellular mobile telephony systems was due to the scarcity of spectrum capacity. Since the spectrum is used by ships, aeroplanes to communicate with base stations, and to a great extent for military purposes as well as for radio and television transmission, only a small frequency band can be made available for private mobile communication. As a result only few could use the frequency spectrum available. Technical improvements such as bandwidth reduction and truncation focussed on increasing frequency efficiency. But the slow development of wireless telephony (Levintlial 1998, p. 237) was often interpreted as a symbol that mobile telephony could never become a mass communication medium and will ever be refined to niche markets and special users. 

There were, however, some visionaries who believed that technology, especially digital technology, could be improved so that capacity could be increased to offer the spectrum capacity sufficient for a mass market. These visionaries, like Bohm (1980), Stenekamp, who founded Comvic of Sweden, were often even ridiculed by their proi es-sion according to industry officials witnessing their proposals in the early 1980s. Ifhe mainstream belief was that cellular telephony was not only needed by a few people but could not be realised as a mass consumer service. 

In the US, the FCC had more problems to find spectrum band for cellular mobile telephony than regulators in other countries (Lee 1989, p. 5). Cahoun (1988) explains why strong demand for broadcast service had continuously weakened the position of cellular telephony to get more spectrum. 

The pressure on the regulator to make spectrum available was successful when industry lobbyists persuaded the government that mobile telephony was unfaMy suppressed by the broadcasting interests. Finally, the 800 MHz band - originally allocated for television services - was opened up and allocated to mobile radio in 

The conclusion is that spectrum availability is part of the market context, because spectrum availability is merely the reaction to demand articulation. Lead markets can be characterised by the willingness to test new technology in the market. This

In the past, PTRC screening was mainly based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) [116]. The choice of GC-MS was based on a number of good reasons (separation power of GC, selectivity of detection offered by MS, inherent simplicity of information contained in a mass spectrum, availability of a well established and standardized ionization technique, electron ionization, which allowed the construction of large databases of reference mass spectra, fast and reliable computer aided identification based on library search) that largely counterbalanced the pitfalls of GC separation, i.e., the need to isolate analytes from the aqueous substrate and to derivatize polar compounds [117]. 

In the FTIR analysis of the chemicals related to the CWC, the spectral libraries are essential. For the purposes of the CWC, there has to be a reference spectrum for identification. If there is no infrared reference spectrum available, the identification cannot be accepted unless a reference... 

Another example is that of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). All chlorofluorocarbons show absorption in the range 160-280 nm. This UV radiation is available near ozone layer of earth atmosphere. Light spectrum available on the surface of earth is perfectly transparent to chlorofluorocarbons and thus behaves as photochemically inert. These do not dissolve in water and thus are not removed by rain. Slowly these molecules rise and reach the ozone layer. Their photons of 160-280 nm are available absorption of which lead to primary photochemical reaction...

An exploratory analysis performed by FSIW-EFA provides an estimate of the number of components in each pixel. For resolution purposes, only those pixels in the partial local rank map will be potentially constrained, because these are the pixels for which a robust estimation of the number of missing components can be obtained. However, the FSIW-EFA information is not sufficient to identify which components are absent from the constrained pixels. For identification purposes, the local rank information should be combined with reference spectral information, the ideal reference being the pure spectra of the constituents, although in most images not all of these are known. For the image components with no pure spectrum available, the reference taken is an approximation of this pure spectrum. These approximate pure spectra can be obtained by pure variable selection methods, or they may be the result of a simpler MCR-ALS analysis where only non-negativity constraints have been applied.

Damping is an engineering material property and the observed response is much more sensitive to the polymer constitution than in step-function experiments. Oscillatory experiments (also referred to as dynamic mechanical experiments) thus offer a powerful technique to study molecular structure and morphology. A significant feature is the breadth of the time-scale spectrum available with these methods, e.g., 10 -10 cycles/sec.

Despite the intuitive desire to have an entire spectrum available for identification purposes, it is advantageous to have techniques available that do not require the entire spectrum in order to classify (identify) a substance. Instruments using a finite number of fixed filters, common in the NIR spectral region, cannot use an algorithm based on a complete spectrum. Even when monochromator-based instruments are used, time can be saved by measuring only a small number of preselected wavelengths.
