§ 27.50 Power limits and duty cycle.
(a) The following power limits and related requirements apply to
stations transmitting in the 2305-2320 MHz band or the 2345-2360 MHz
band.
(1) Base and fixed stations. (i) For base and fixed stations
transmitting in the 2305-2315 MHz band or the 2350-2360 MHz band:
(A) The average equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) must not
exceed 2,000 watts within any 5 megahertz of authorized bandwidth and
must not exceed 400 watts within any 1 megahertz of authorized
bandwidth.
(B) The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitter output
power must not exceed 13 dB. The PAPR measurements should be made using
either an instrument with complementary cumulative distribution
function (CCDF) capabilities to determine that PAPR will not exceed 13
dB for more than 0.1 percent of the time or other Commission approved
procedure. The measurement must be performed using a signal
corresponding to the highest PAPR expected during periods of continuous
transmission.
(ii) For base and fixed stations transmitting in the 2315-2320 MHz band
or the 2345-2350 MHz band, the peak EIRP must not exceed 2,000 watts.
(2) Fixed customer premises equipment stations. For fixed customer
premises equipment (CPE) stations transmitting in the 2305-2320 MHz
band or in the 2345-2360 MHz band, the peak EIRP must not exceed 20
watts within any 5 megahertz of authorized bandwidth. Fixed CPE
stations transmitting in the 2305-2320 MHz band or in the 2345-2360 MHz
band must employ automatic transmit power control when operating so the
stations operate with the minimum power necessary for successful
communications. The use of outdoor antennas for CPE stations or outdoor
CPE station installations operating with 2 watts per 5 megahertz or
less average EIRP using the stepped emissions mask prescribed in
§ 27.53(a)(3) is prohibited except if professionally installed in
locations removed by 20 meters from roadways or in locations where it
can be shown that the ground power level of −44 dBm in the A or B
blocks or −55 dBm in the C or D blocks will not be exceeded at the
nearest road location. The use of outdoor antennas for fixed CPE
stations operating with 2 watts per 5 megahertz or less average EIRP
and the emissions mask prescribed in § 27.53(a)(1)(i) through (iii) is
permitted in all locations. For fixed WCS CPE using TDD technology, the
duty cycle must not exceed 38 percent;
(3) Mobile and portable stations. (i) For mobile and portable stations
transmitting in the 2305-2315 MHz band or the 2350-2360 MHz band, the
average EIRP must not exceed 50 milliwatts within any 1 megahertz of
authorized bandwidth, except that for mobile and portable stations
compliant with 3GPP LTE standards or another advanced mobile broadband
protocol that avoids concentrating energy at the edge of the operating
band the average EIRP must not exceed 250 milliwatts within any 5
megahertz of authorized bandwidth but may exceed 50 milliwatts within
any 1 megahertz of authorized bandwidth. For mobile and portable
stations using time division duplexing (TDD) technology, the duty cycle
must not exceed 38 percent in the 2305-2315 MHz and 2350-2360 MHz
bands. Mobile and portable stations using FDD technology are restricted

must employ automatic transmit power control when operating so the
stations operate with the minimum power necessary for successful
communications.

a network after the 716-722 or 722-728 MHz bands licensee deploys a
network on its 716-722 or 722-728 MHz spectrum in the same geographic
market, the 716-722 or 722-728 MHz bands licensee will work with the
licensee with uplink operations in the 698-716 MHz band to identify
sites that will require additional filtering, and will help the
licensee operating in the 698-716 and 728-746 MHz bands to identify
proper filters;
(ii) The 716-722 or 722-728 MHz bands licensee must permit licensees
operating in the 698-716 and 728-746 MHz bands to collocate on the

before a licensee in the 716-722 or 722-728 MHz bands deploys a network
in the same geographic market, the 716-722 or 722-728 MHz bands
licensee will work with licensees in the 698-716 and 728-746 MHz bands
to identify sites that will need additional filtering and will purchase
and pay for installation of required filters on such sites.

(e) The following power limits apply to the paired 1392-1395 MHz and
1432-1435 MHz bands as well as the unpaired 1390-1392 MHz band (1.4 GHz
band):
(1) Fixed stations transmitting in the 1390-1392 MHz and 1432-1435 MHz

(1) Fixed and base stations are limited to 2000 watts EIRP peak power.
(2) Mobile stations are limited to 4 watts EIRP peak power.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) The following power limits shall apply in the BRS and EB§
(1) Main, booster and base stations. (i) The maximum EIRP of a main,
booster or base station shall not exceed 33 dBW + 10log(X/Y) dBW, where
X is the actual channel width in MHz and Y is either 6 MHz if prior to
transition or the station is in the MBS following transition or 5.5 MHz
if the station is in the LBS and UBS following transition, except as
provided in paragraph (h)(1)(ii) of this section.
(ii) If a main or booster station sectorizes or otherwise uses one or
more transmitting antennas with a non-omnidirectional horizontal plane
radiation pattern, the maximum EIRP in dBW in a given direction shall
be determined by the following formula: EIRP = 33 dBW + 10 log(X/Y) dBW
+ 10 log(360/beamwidth) dBW, where X is the actual channel width in
MHz, Y is either (i) 6 MHz if prior to transition or the station is in
the MBS following transition or (ii) 5.5 MHz if the station is in the
LBS and UBS following transition, and beamwidth is the total horizontal
plane beamwidth of the individual transmitting antenna for the station
or any sector measured at the half-power points.
(2) Mobile and other user stations. Mobile stations are limited to 2.0
watts EIRP. All user stations are limited to 2.0 watts transmitter
output power.
(3) For television transmission, the peak power of the accompanying
aural signal must not exceed 10 percent of the peak visual power of the
transmitter. The Commission may order a reduction in aural signal power
to diminish the potential for harmful interference.
(4) For main, booster and response stations utilizing digital emissions
with non-uniform power spectral density (e.g. unfiltered QPSK), the
power measured within any 100 kHz resolution bandwidth within the 6 MHz
channel occupied by the non-uniform emission cannot exceed the power
permitted within any 100 kHz resolution bandwidth within the 6 MHz
channel if it were occupied by an emission with uniform power spectral
density, i.e., if the maximum permissible power of a station utilizing
a perfectly uniform power spectral density across a 6 MHz channel were
2000 watts EIRP, this would result in a maximum permissible power flux
density for the station of 2000/60 = 33.3 watts EIRP per 100 kHz
bandwidth. If a non-uniform emission were substituted at the station,
station power would still be limited to a maximum of 33.3 watts EIRP
within any 100 kHz segment of the 6 MHz channel, irrespective of the
fact that this would result in a total 6 MHz channel power of less than
2000 watts EIRP.
(i) Peak transmit power shall be measured over any interval of
continuous transmission using instrumentation calibrated in terms of
rms-equivalent voltage. The measurement results shall be properly
adjusted for any instrument limitations, such as detector response
times, limited resolution bandwidth capability when compared to the
emission bandwidth, etc., so as to obtain a true peak measurement for
the emission in question over the full bandwidth of the channel.
