A preliminary study of the line intensities of phosphine PH₃ in the 10µm region between 800 and 1300 cm^-1 is reported. The objective is to provide a prediction for planetary spectra studies of the absorption in the Saturnian atmosphere. Over 1000 intensity measurements were performed using the Fourier transform spectrometer located at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory at a resolution of 0.0011 cm^-1. Using the rovibrational line assignments and positions published by Fusina and Di Lonardo for the two fundamental bands ₂ and ₄ located near 992.13 and 1118.31 cm^-1 respectively, and treating these two bands within a dyad interacting system, we will report preliminary intensity analysis for this spectral range.
