Zone associée à une station pour un service donné et une fréquence spécifiée à l'intérieur de laquelle, dans des conditions techniques déterminées, une radiocommunication peut être établie avec une ou plusieurs autres stations, qu'il s’agisse d’émission, de réception ou des deux à la fois. Note 1 : Plusieurs zones de couverture distinctes peuvent être associées à une même station, par exemple un satellite à plusieurs faisceaux. Note 2 : Les conditions techniques comprennent entre autres : les caractéristiques de l'équipement utilisé, les conditions de son installation, la qualité de transmission désirée, et en particulier le rapport de protection, les conditions d’exploitation. Note 3 : Suivant le cas, on peut distinguer : la zone de couverture en l'absence de brouillage, c'est-à-dire celle limitée uniquement par les bruits naturels ou artificiels; la zone de couverture nominale, par exemple, celle qui résulte d’un plan de fréquences; la zone de couverture réelle, c'est-à-dire celle déterminée en tenant compte des bruits et brouillages existants en pratique.
