Sec. 90.219 Use of signal boosters.
Licensees authorized to operate radio systems in the frequency bands above
150 MHz may employ signal boosters at fixed locations in accordance with the
following criteria:
(a) The amplified signal is retransmitted only on the exact frequency(ies)
of the originating base, fixed, mobile, or portable station(s). The booster
will fill in only weak signal areas and cannot extend the system's normal
signal coverage area.
(b) Class A narrowband signal boosters must be equipped with automatic gain
control circuitry which will limit the total effective radiated power (ERP)
of the unit to a maximum of 5 watts under all conditions. Class B broadband
signal boosters are limited to 5 watts ERP for each authorized frequency
that the booster is designed to amplify.
(c) Class A narrowband boosters must meet the out-of-band emission limits of
Sec. 90.210 for each narrowband channel that the booster is designed to amplify.
Class B broadband signal boosters must meet the emission limits of Sec. 90.210
for frequencies outside of the booster's designed passband.
(d) Class B broadband signal boosters are permitted to be used only in
confined or indoor areas such as buildings, tunnels, underground areas,
etc., or in remote areas, i.e., areas where there is little or no risk of
interference to other users.
(e) The licensee is given authority to operate signal boosters without
separate authorization from the Commission. Certificated equipment must be
employed and the licensee must ensure that all applicable rule requirements
are met.
(f) Licensees employing either Class A narrowband or Class B broadband
signal boosters as defined in Sec. 90.7 are responsible for correcting any
harmful interference that the equipment may cause to other systems. Normal
co-channel transmissions will not be considered as harmful interference.
Licensees will be required to resolve interference problems pursuant to
Sec. 90.173(b).
