§ 25.212 Narrowband analog transmissions and digital transmissions in the
GSO FSS.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by this part, criteria for
unacceptable levels of interference caused by other satellite networks
shall be established on the basis of nominal operating conditions and
with the objective of minimizing orbital separations between
satellites.
(b) Emissions with an occupied bandwidth of less than 2 MHz are not
protected from interference from wider bandwidth transmissions if the
r.f. carrier frequency of the narrowband signal is within ±1 MHz of one
of the frequencies specified in § 25.211(a).
(c)(1) An earth station, other than an ESIM, may be routinely licensed
for analog transmissions in the conventional Ku-band or the extended
Ku-band with bandwidths up to 200 kHz (or up to 1 MHz for command
carriers at the band edge) if the input power spectral density into the
antenna will not exceed −8 dBW/4 kHz, and the application includes
certification pursuant to § 25.132(a)(1) of conformance with the antenna
gain performance requirements in § 25.209(a) and (b).
(2) An earth station may be routinely licensed for digital
transmission, including digital video transmission, in the conventional
Ku-band, or, except for an ESIM, in the extended Ku-band, if input
power spectral density into the antenna will not exceed −14 dBW/4 kHz
and the application includes certification pursuant to § 25.132(a)(1) of
conformance with the antenna gain performance requirements in
§ 25.209(a) and (b).
(d) An individual earth station may be routinely licensed for digital
transmission in the conventional C-band or, except for an ESIM, in the
extended C-band, if the applicant certifies conformance with relevant
antenna performance standards in § 25.209(a) and (b), and power density
into the antenna will not exceed −2.7 dBW/4 kHz. An individual earth
station, other than an ESIM, may be routinely licensed for analog
transmission with carrier bandwidths up to 200 kHz (or up to 1 MHz for
command carriers at the band edge) in the conventional C-band or the
extended C-band, if the applicant certifies conformance with relevant
antenna performance standards in § 25.209(a) and (b), and power density
into the antenna will not exceed +0.5 dBW/4 kHz.
(e) An earth station may be routinely licensed for digital transmission
in the 28.35-28.6 GHz and/or 29.25-30.0 GHz bands if the input power
spectral density into the antenna will not exceed 3.5 dBW/MHz and the
application includes certification pursuant to § 25.132(a)(1) of
conformance with the antenna gain performance requirements in
§ 25.209(a) and (b).
(f) In the 24.75-25.25 GHz band, an earth station that meets the
antenna gain pattern requirements set forth in § 25.209(a) and (b) of
this part may be routinely licensed if the maximum power density into
the antenna does not exceed 3.5 dBW/MHz.
(g) A license application for earth station operation in a network
using variable power density control of earth stations transmitting
simultaneously in shared frequencies to the same target satellite
receiving beam may be routinely processed if the applicant certifies
that the aggregate off-axis EIRP density from all co-frequency earth
stations transmitting simultaneously to the same target satellite
receiving beam, not resulting from colliding data bursts transmitted
pursuant to a contention protocol, will not exceed the applicable
off-axis EIRP density limits permissible for a single earth station, as
specified in § 25.218.
(h) Applications for authority for fixed earth station operation in the
conventional C-band, the extended C-band, the conventional Ku-band, the
extended Ku-band or the conventional Ka-band that do not qualify for
routine processing under relevant criteria in this section, § 25.211, or
§ 25.218 are subject to the requirements in § 25.220.
