Ce graphique est fond sur la version 2014 du Tableau canadien dattribution des bandes de frquences, rsultant des diverses Confrences mondiales des radiocommunications, notamment la CMR-12. Ce graphique
reprsente les attributions de frquences radiolectriques au Canada.
Pour de plus ample renseignements sur les politiques d'utilisation du
spectre ou des systmes radio, veuillez communiquer avec la Direction
gnrale du gnie, de la plannification et des normes, dIndustrie
Canada Ottawa (courriel: spectrum.engineering@ic.gc.ca), ou avec lun
des bureaux identifis dans le Circulaire d'information sur les radiocom
CIR-66.Industry Canada, Ottawa (e-mail: spectrum.engineering@ic.gc.ca)
or one of its offices listed in Radiocom Information Circular RIC-66.

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 ou 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

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).

This chart is based on the 2014 Canadian Table of Frequency
Allocations, which was developed from decisions of World Radiocommunication Conferences, including WRC-12. The chart
provides a graphic representation of Canadian electromagnetic
spectrum allocations.

policy matters, contact the Engineering, Planning and Standards
Branch, Industry Canada, Ottawa (e-mail: spectrum.engineering@ic.gc.ca) or one of its offices listed in Radiocom Information

Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) to one or more radio

services or for specific usages. Sponsored by the InternationalTelecommunication Union (a United Nations agency), WRCs are held to
extend, review and revise frequency allocations among the various
uses.
After WRCs, or 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,

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.
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
