Section 15.209 provides the general radiated emission limits that apply to intentional radiators, including limits on their out-of-band emissions.

The required minimum separation distances will result in significant signal attenuation at the customer's boundary and provide further protection to broadcast operations in residential areas. We also observe that our approach here is consistent with Commission regulations that allow unlicensed biomedical telemetry devices to operate under Sections 15.241 and 15.242 within the TV bands at power levels significantly higher than the general emission limits of Section 15.209. The interference potential of these higher powered medical devices is limited by restricting the types of medical facilities where they may be operated, and by ensuring that minimum separation distances are maintained between the biomedical telemetry devices and authorized users of
