See 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.35(b) and 15.209(d). There are also certain rule sections that specify the application of a total peak power limit over a wider bandwidth. See, for example, 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.247(b) and 15.255(e). See, for example, comments of Endress Hauser at 4 and 6, Interval at 11, and Rosemount Measurement at 1-2.

  • attenuation characteristics of this band are similar to the 59-64 GHz band. We concur with the parties and extend the etiquette rules concerning the 59-64 GHz band to include the 57-59 GHz band. This action will provide users with access to seven gigahertz of contiguous spectrum and promote the rapid introduction of unlicensed devices in this band. We amend Section 15.255 of our rules to reflect this change. Because we are expanding the current spectrum etiquette to the 57-59 GHz band, we believe it is appropriate to modify Section 15.255 of our rules. Specifically, Section 15.255(d) reserves the 59-59.05 GHz segment for specific purposes - spurious emissions and a publicly-accessible coordination channel. To enable users unfettered access to contiguous spectrum between

Specifically, we are proposing to modify Section 15.225 to include the emission mask sought by NCITS B10. We are also proposing to amend Section 15.205 of the rules to allow devices operated pursuant to Section 15.255 to place emissions other than spurious emissions into the 13.36-13.41 MHz restricted band. This restricted band was intended to protect radio astronomy operations. However, radio astronomy operations in this band in the United States are limited to one site in Florida. NTIA has stated that they do not object to allowing emissions from RFID devices in this restricted band. Alternatively,

Compliance with these requirements must be assured. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns,

  • thereby enabling such systems to tolerate strong interfering signals. For example, these bands are used for industrial purposes, including heating and sealing materials, such as plastics, during manufacturing processes. The 2400 MHz band is the location of most, if not all, current and recent model consumer microwave ovens. This band was later expanded to cover 57-64 GHz. See 47 C.F.R. §15.255. The 5 GHz band is also used on an unlicensed basis in Europe. However, the available spectrum, referred to as the HiperLAN2 bands, is slightly different than the US U-NII bands. While the two share the 5.15-5.25 GHz portion, the HiperLAN2 upper band stretches from 5.470-5.725 GHz. The 57-64 GHz band is not shown in the chart. It is a
