  • the band's propagation characteristics enable detection of ``sea skimmers,'' fast moving targets over water. The band is also used for radar wind profiling for weather forecasting, aviation warning, marine observations, and environmental studies. ISM equipment is defined as ``equipment or appliances designed to generate and use radio frequency (RF) energy'' to perform some work other than telecommunications. 47 C.F.R. � 18.107(c). ISM equipment includes industrial heaters that cure glue, inks, and rubber, welding equipment, food equipment such as bacon dryers and donut fryers, and medical equipment used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diathermy (tissue heating). In addition to the 902-928 MHz band, U.S. ISM bands include the 6.765-6.795 MHz, 13.553-13.567 MHz, 26.957-27.283 MHz, 40.66-40.70 MHz, 2400-2500 MHz, 5.725-5.875 GHz, 24-24.25

  • and RF lighting devices. Common examples of non-consumer ISM devices include industrial heaters and ultrasonic equipment. Before ISM equipment can be marketed in the United States, it must comply with the technical standards and equipment authorization procedure specified in part 18 of the Commission's rules. Legal Basis: 47 U.S.C. 4, 301, 302, 303, 304 and 307. Section Number and Title: 18.107(j) Definitions, Magnetic Resonance Equipment. Brief Description: This rule relates to the exemptions from the part 18 requirements for non-consumer ultrasonic equipment or non-consumer magnetic resonance equipment (MRE) used for medical diagnostic and monitoring applications. MRE is a category of Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment in which RF energy is used to create images and data representing spatially resolved density

  • amended (``Act''), to Bright Wood Corporation (``Bright Wood'') for violation of Section 18.115(a) of the Commission's rules (``Rules''). Investigation by the FCC's Portland Resident Agent Office revealed that on April 4, 2005, Industrial, Scientific and Medical (``ISM'') equipment, located at Bright Wood's factory in Redmond, Oregon, was causing interference to the Redmond Airport Air Traffic Controller on 124.500 MHz. Section 18.107(b) of the Rules defines harmful interference as ``[i]nterference which endangers the functioning of a radionavigation service or of other safety services or seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in accordance with this chapter.'' Section 18.115(a) of the Rules states ``the operator of ISM equipment that causes harmful interference to radio services shall promptly take appropriate measures

  • ISM devices are equipment or application designed to generate and use locally RF energy for industrial, scientific, medical, domestic or similar purposes, excluding applications in the field of telecommunication. Typical ISM applications are the production of physical, biological, or chemical effects such as heating, ionization of gases, mechanical vibrations, hair removal and acceleration of charged particles. See also 47 C.F.R. �18.107. See 47 C.F.R. �2.106 footnote S5.282. See 47 C.F.R. �15.247(b)(1), which permits higher-powered operations in this frequency band for spread spectrum transmitters. See 47 C.F.R. ��15.24 and 15.249. The Federal-Government allocation was used, to a limited extent, by the military for radar testing systems such as target scattering and enemy radar simulators.

The Federal-Government allocation was used, to a limited extent, by the military for radar testing systems such as target scattering and enemy radar simulators. The 2390-2400 MHz and the 2402-2417 MHz bands were reallocated prior to August, 1995. See NTIA, Spectrum Reallocation Final Report, NTIA Special Publication 95-32 (rel. Feb. 1995). See OBRA-93, �

  • stating that radio communication services operating in certain bands, including the 902-928 MHz, 2400-2500 MHz, 5725-5875 MHz and 24-24.25 GHz bands, must accept interference received from ISM applications. The ISM bands are also listed in 47 C.F.R. � 18.301. ISM equipment uses radio frequency energy to perform work such as heating or lighting rather than communications. See 47 C.F.R. � 18.107(c). Examples of ISM equipment include microwave ovens, industrial heating equipment, and RF lighting devices. Because ISM equipment does not perform communication functions, it is not susceptible to interference from RF communication devices. We also note that spectrum in the 902-928 MHz band dedicated for licensed use by the multilateration Location and Monitoring Service (M-LMS) is the subject of a pending

  • is 10 �V/m, as measured at 30 meters. The Commission adopted the two-tier approach to emissions limits, with one set of limits for residential environments and another set of limits for business and commercial environments, to provide a reasonable balance between the need to control interference and the need to avoid unnecessary regulations and product costs. See 47 C.F.R. � 18.107(g). See 47 C.F.R. � 18.305(b). Part 18 specifies an out-of-band field strength limit of 25 �V/m measured at a distance of 300 meters, which is equivalent to a limit of 2500 �V/m at 3 meters, for miscellaneous ISM equipment generating less than 500 watts of power. Miscellaneous ISM equipment that generates more than 500 watts of RF power has a
