§ 90.672 Unacceptable interference to non-cellular 800 MHz licensees from
800 MHz cellular systems or part 22 Cellular Radiotelephone systems, and
within the 900 MHz narrowband segments, and to narrowband 900 MHz licensees
from 900 MHz broadband licensees.
(a) Definition. Except as provided in 47 CFR 90.617(k), unacceptable
interference to non-cellular licensees in the 800 MHz band from 800 MHz
cellular systems or part 22 of this chapter, Cellular Radiotelephone
systems; unacceptable interference within the 900 MHz narrowband
segment; and unacceptable interference to narrowband 900 MHz licensees
from 900 MHz broadband licensees, will be deemed to occur when the
below conditions are met:
(1) A transceiver at a site at which interference is encountered:
(i) Is in good repair and operating condition, and is receiving:
(A) From the 800 MHz band, a median desired signal strength of −104 dBm
or higher if operating in the 800 MHz band, or a median desired signal
strength of −88 dBm if operating in the 900 MHz narrowband segment, as
measured at the R.F. input of the receiver of a mobile unit; or
(B) From the 800 MHz band, a median desired signal strength of −101 dBm
or higher if operating in the 800 MHz band, or a median desired signal
strength of −85 dBm if operating in the 900 MHz narrowband segment; or,
as measured at the R.F. input of the receiver of a portable i.e.,
hand-held unit;
(C) From the 900 MHz broadband segment, a median desired signal
strength of −104 dBm or higher if operating in the 900 MHz narrowband
segment, as measured at the R.F. input of the receiver of a mobile
unit; or
(D) From the 900 MHz broadband segment, median desired signal strength
of −101 dBm or higher if operating in the 900 MHz narrowband segment,
as measured at the R.F. input of the receiver of a portable, i.e.,
hand-held unit; and either
(ii) Is a voice transceiver:
(A) With manufacturer published performance specifications for the
receiver section of the transceiver equal to, or exceeding, the minimum
standards set out in paragraph (b) of this section, and;
(B) Receiving an undesired signal or signals which cause the measured
Carrier to Noise plus Interference (C/(I + N)) ratio of the receiver
section of said transceiver to be less than 20 dB if operating in the
800 MHz band, or less than 17 dB if operating in the 900 MHz narrowband
segment, or;
(iii) Is a non-voice transceiver receiving an undesired signal or
signals which cause the measured bit error rate (BER) (or some
comparable specification) of the receiver section of said transceiver
to be more than the value reasonably designated by the manufacturer.
(2) Provided, however, that if the receiver section of the mobile or
portable voice transceiver does not conform to the standards set out in
paragraph (b) of this section, then that transceiver shall be deemed
subject to unacceptable interference only at sites where the median
desired signal satisfies the applicable threshold measured signal power
in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section after an upward adjustment to
account for the difference in receiver section performance. The upward
adjustment shall be equal to the increase in the desired signal
required to restore the receiver section of the subject transceiver to
the 20 dB C/(I + N) ratio of paragraph (a)(1)(ii)(B) of this section.
The adjusted threshold levels shall then define the minimum measured
signal power(s) in lieu of paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section at which
the licensee using such non-compliant transceiver is entitled to
interference protection.
(b) Minimum receiver requirements. Voice transceivers capable of
operating in the 806-824 MHz portion of the 800 MHz band, or in the 900
MHz narrowband segment, shall have the following minimum performance
specifications in order for the system in which such transceivers are
used to claim entitlement to full protection against unacceptable
interference. (See paragraph (a)(2) of this section.)
(1) Voice units intended for mobile use: 75 dB intermodulation
rejection ratio; 75 dB adjacent channel rejection ratio; −116 dBm
reference sensitivity.
(2) Voice units intended for portable use: 70 dB intermodulation
rejection ratio; 70 dB adjacent channel rejection ratio; −116 dBm
reference sensitivity.
(3) Voice units intended for mobile or portable use in the 900 MHz
narrowband segment: 60 dB intermodulation rejection ratio; 60 dB
adjacent channel rejection ratio; −116 dBm reference sensitivity.
