Overview[]
The Committee on Radio Frequencies (CORF) represents the interests of U.S. scientists who use radio frequencies for research — for example, radio astronomers and remote sensing researchers. The committee deals with radio frequency requirements and interference protection primarily through filing comments under the aegis of the National Academy of Sciences in public proceedings of the Federal Communications Commission.
The committee acts as a channel for representing the interests of U.S. scientists in the work of the Scientific Committee on Frequency Allocations For Radio Astronomy and Space Science (IUCAF) of the International Council for Science and in working groups of the Radiocommunication Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
