  • 15 of our Rules. The Part 15 rules specify limits on the power and operating characteristics of these devices that are designed to avoid the potential for such devices to cause interference. These rules also provide that unlicensed devices may not cause interference and must accept interference from other radio transmitters. See generally, 47 C.F.R. Part 15. 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.253, 25.202(a)(1). Consistent with their class of licenses, Amateur licensees are permitted to use various bands allocated to the Amateur Service without authorization for specific frequencies. Therefore, it is unclear as to whether the 75.5-76 GHz Amateur Radio band is currently being used. 47 C.F.R. § 5.01 et seq.

Era states that its proposed system would permit the tracking of aircraft and vehicles in the ramp and gate areas of the airport. Era states that its request for waiver is intended to permit immediate use of its technology in Atlanta Airport for safety related purposes. Section 15.253 permits the operation of vehicle-mounted radar systems in the 76-77 GHz band. Vehicle-mounted radar systems are the only type of operation permitted under this section; fixed applications are not permitted. Era requests that it be permitted to mount up to ten fixed 76-77 GHz radars on terminal building rooftops at Atlanta Airport. It states these radars would have a range

The purpose of the review is to determine whether such rules should be continued without change, or should be amended or rescinded, consistent with the stated objectives of section 610 of the RFA, to minimize any significant economic impact of such rules upon a substantial number of small entities. In its comments, Era requests that the Commission amend Section 15.253 of its rules to permit the use of 76-77 GHz fixed radars at airports for monitoring terrestrial vehicle movements in addition to the automobile radar uses currently permitted in that band. Vehicle-mounted radar systems are the only type of operation permitted under this section; fixed applications are not permitted. Era contends that when the rules limiting operation to vehicle-mounted radars

  • portable configurations similar to those described in 47 CFR §2.1091(d)(4), such as certain desktop phones and wireless modem modules, compliance for mobile configurations is also satisfied when the same device is evaluated for SAR compliance in portable configurations. Since SAR limits do not apply to devices operating above 6.0 GHz (See References [1] and [30]), millimeter wave devices operating under §15.253 and §15.255 of the FCC rules in portable configurations must be evaluated with respect to power density limit. At shorter wavelengths above 6.0 GHz, instead of the usually recommended 20 cm measurement distance for lower frequencies, reliable power density measurements can normally be made at 5 cm or more from the transmitter. If a device normally operates at closer than

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
