We also expressed concern that these standards, which are scheduled to become effective on July 15, 2002, may be overprotective and could unnecessarily constrain the development of UWB technology. See Order at para. 1. For example, such systems have been authorized under our experimental rules under Part 5 or by waiver. See Notice of Proposed Rule Making in

(``CWCI''), to waive Sections 15.503(d) and 15.521(d) of our ultra-wideband (``UWB'') rules for its ground penetrating radar (``GPR'') system, known as 3d-Radar. GPR devices are field disturbance sensors that detect buried objects, changes in material, and cracks in ground or in other subsurface structures and are typically used in the maintenance of highways and bridge infrastructures in the United States.

  • recommended that the fundamental emission be kept within at least the central 80% of the permitted band in order to minimize the possibility of out-of-band operation. Part 15 is amended by adding a new Subpart F, to read as follows: SUBPART F - ULTRA-WIDEBAND OPERATION Section 15.501 Scope. This subpart sets out the regulations for unlicensed ultra-wideband transmission systems. Section 15.503 Definitions. (a) UWB Bandwidth. For the purpose of this subpart, the UWB bandwidth is the frequency band bounded by the points that are 10 dB below the highest radiated emission, as based on the complete transmission system including the antenna. The upper boundary is designated fH and the lower boundary is designated fL. The frequency at which the highest radiated

Finally, we are requiring that the UWB public safety communication system transmitter operate with its center frequency, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 15.503(b), between 1990 MHz and 10.6 GHz. The frequency at which the highest radiated emission occurs must be located in the 1.99 GHz to 10.6 GHz band and must not exceed an average root-mean-square (RMS) EIRP of -41.3 dBm/MHz. In addition, broadband emissions between 960 MHz and 1610 MHz must not exceed an average (RMS) EIRP of -46.3 dBm/MHz, when measured

  • the UWB regulations. The Commission was concerned that such systems would place greater energy in frequency bands where operation is not necessary for the system to function. Thus, the Commission concluded that a minimum bandwidth standard could be counterproductive to reducing the potential for harmful interference and proposed to eliminate the definition of an ultra-wideband transmitter in 47 C.F.R. § 15.503(d). The Commission proposed to permit the operation of any transmission system, regardless of its bandwidth, as long as it complies with the standards for UWB operation set forth in Subpart F of 47 C.F.R. Part 15 and to base the resolution bandwidth used for the peak power measurement to 10 percent of the -10 dB bandwidth of the emission. Comments

This waiver shall not apply to the determination of the UWB bandwidth or the classification of a device as an ultra-wideband transmitter. The requirements in 47 C.F.R. § 15.503(a) and (d) continue to apply based on measurements performed with any frequency hop, step or band sequencing function stopped. These waivers are effective until such time as the Commission finalizes a rule making proceeding dealing with these issues. We are confident at this juncture that there is no significant risk of interference under the terms of this waiver. We believe
