§ 15.511   Technical requirements for surveillance systems.

   (a) The UWB bandwidth of an imaging system operating under the
   provisions of this section must be contained between 1990 MHz and
   10,600 MHz.

   (b) Operation under the provisions of this section is limited to fixed
   surveillance systems operated by law enforcement, fire or emergency
   rescue organizations or by manufacturers licensees, petroleum licensees
   or power licensees as defined in § 90.7 of this chapter.

   (1) Parties operating under the provisions of this section must be
   eligible for licensing under the provisions of part 90 of this chapter.

   (2) The operation of imaging systems under this section requires
   coordination, as detailed in § 15.525.

   (c) The radiated emissions at or below 960 MHz from a device operating
   under the provisions of this section shall not exceed the emission
   levels in § 15.209. The radiated emissions above 960 MHz from a device
   operating under the provisions of this section shall not exceed the
   following average limits when measured using a resolution bandwidth of
   1 MHz:
   Frequency in MHz EIRP in dBm
   960-1610               −53.3
   1610-1990              −51.3
   1990-10600             −41.3
   Above 10600             −51.3

   (d) In addition to the radiated emission limits specified in the table
   in paragraph (c) of this section, UWB transmitters operating under the
   provisions of this section shall not exceed the following average
   limits when measured using a resolution bandwidth of no less than 1
   kHz:
   Frequency in MHz EIRP in dBm
   1164-1240              −63.3
   1559-1610               −63.3

   (e) There is a limit on the peak level of the emissions contained
   within a 50 MHz bandwidth centered on the frequency at which the
   highest radiated emission occurs, fM. That limit is 0 dBm EIRP. It is
   acceptable to employ a different resolution bandwidth, and a
   correspondingly different peak emission limit, following the procedures
   described in § 15.521.

   (f) Imaging systems operating under the provisions of this section
   shall bear the following or similar statement in a conspicuous location
   on the device: “Operation of this device is restricted to law
   enforcement, fire and rescue officials, public utilities, and
   industrial entities. Operation by any other party is a violation of 47
   U.S.C. 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties.”
