Sec. 74.644 Minimum path lengths for fixed links.
(a) The distance between end points of a fixed link must equal or exceed the
value set forth in the table below or the EIRP must be reduced in accordance
with the equation set forth below.
Frequency band
(MHz) Minimum path length
(km)
Below 1,990 n/a
1,990–7,125 17
12,200–13,250 5
Above 17,700 n/a
(b) For paths shorter than those specified in the Table, the EIRP shall not
exceed the value derived from the following equation.
EIRP = MAXEIRP−40 log(A/B) dBW
Where:
EIRP = The new maximum EIRP (equivalent isotropically radiated power) in
dBW.
MAXEIRP = Maximum EIRP as set forth in the Table in Sec. 74.636 of this part.
A = Minimum path length from the Table above for the frequency band in
kilometers.
B = The actual path length in kilometers.
Note 1 to paragraph(b): For transmitters using Automatic Transmitter Power
Control, EIRP corresponds to the maximum transmitter power available, not
the coordinated transmit power or the nominal transmit power.
Note 2 to paragraph(b): Stations licensed based on an application filed
before April 16, 2003, in the 2450–2483.5 MHz band, for EIRP values
exceeding those specified above, may continue to operate indefinitely in
accordance with the terms of their current authorizations, subject to
periodic renewal.
(c) Upon an appropriate technical showing, applicants and licensees unable
to meet the minimum path length requirement may be granted an exception to
these requirements.
Note: Links authorized prior to April 1, 1987, are excluded from this
requirement, except that, effective April 1, 1992, the Commission will
require compliance with the criteria where an existing link would otherwise
preclude establishment of a new link.
