  • of the higher power levels permitted under these rule sections. However, in this Notice we are proposing specific regulations regarding the frequency of operation and emission levels that would apply to UWB devices. We believe that the existing rules should be amended to clarify that they do not apply to UWB devices. Accordingly, we propose to amend 47 C.F.R. § 15.215(c) to state that intentional radiators operated under the provisions of 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.217-15.255 or Subpart E of the current regulations must be designed to ensure that the main lobe or the necessary bandwidth, whichever is less, is contained within the frequency bands designated in those rule section under which the equipment is operated. The requirement to contain the fundamental

Section 15.205 is amended by adding new paragraph (d)(6). § 15.205 Restricted bands of operation. * * * * * (d) * * * (6) Devices operated pursuant to 15.225 are exempt from complying with this section for the 13.36-13.41 MHz band only. * * * * * Section 15.215 is amended by adding a new paragraph (e) as follows: § 15.215 Additional provisions to the general radiated emission limitations. * * * * * (e) Intentional radiators transmitting in the spectrum below 490 kHz with a measured fundamental field strength 40 dB or more below the limits specified in Section 15.209(a) for this band, are subject only to the

  • were developed for narrowband operation. An example would be a UWB device that operates at 5800 MHz attempting to demonstrate compliance with 47 C.F.R. § 15.245 over the frequency range 5785-5815 MHz while demonstrating compliance with the UWB emission limits outside of that frequency band. To prevent this method of cross-rule operation, the Commission proposed to amend 47 C.F.R. § 15.215(c) to state that intentional radiators operated under the provisions of 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.217-15.255 or Subpart E of the current regulations must be designed to ensure that the main lobe or the necessary bandwidth, whichever is less, is contained within the frequency bands designated in those rule section under which the equipment is operated.

  • 154, 302, 303, 304, 307, 336 and 544A Section 15.205 is revised by amending paragraph (d)(4) to read as follows: § 15.205 Restricted bands of operation. * * * * * (d) * * * * * * * * (4) Any equipment operated under the provisions § 15.253, § 15.255 or § 15.257. * * * * * Section 15.215 is revised by amending paragraphs (a) and (c) to read as follows: § 15.215 Additional provisions to the general radiated emission limitations. (a) The regulations in §§ 15.217 through 15.257 provide alternatives to the general radiated emission limits for intentional radiators operating in specified frequency bands. Unless otherwise stated, there are no restrictions as to the types of operation permitted

Note that the use of a pulse desensitization correction factor may be needed to determine the total peak emission level. The instruction manual or application note for the measurement instrument should be consulted for determining pulse desensitization factors, as necessary. * * * * * 3. Section 15.215 is amended by revising paragraph (c), to read as follows: Section 15.215 Additional provisions to the general radiated emission limitations. * * * * * (c) Intentional radiators operating under the alternative provisions to the general emission limits, as contained in §§ 15.217 through 15.257 and in Subpart E of this part, must be designed to ensure that the 20

  • are that the operator must accept whatever interference is received and must correct whatever interference is caused. Should harmful interference occur, the operator is required to immediately correct the interference problem, even if correction of the problem requires ceasing operation of the system causing the interference. See 47 CFR § 15.5. See 47 CFR § 15.209. See 47 CFR §§ 15.215-15.407. In some cases, operation at the higher emission levels within these designated frequency bands is limited to specific applications. The sensitive bands referenced here are bands employed by radio services that must function, as a nature of their operation, using extremely low received signal levels. These systems may be passive, such as radio astronomy, or active, such as satellite down
