Abstract
A spectrum metric-a unit of measure of spectrum-space use-is defined and used to define a measure of spectrum efficiency as the ratio of communications output to spectrum-space input. It is shown that this efficiency measure is easier to compute than another candidate, and gives the same relative result. Several examples of the application of this measure are given. Implications of a definition of spectrum efficiency are mentioned.Keywords
