§ 15.510 Technical requirements for through D-wall imaging systems.
(a) The UWB bandwidth of an imaging system operating under the
provisions of this section must be below 960 MHz or the center
frequency, f[C], and the frequency at which the highest radiated
emission occurs, f[M], must be contained between 1990 MHz and 10600
MHz.
(b) Operation under the provisions of this section is limited to
through-wall imaging systems operated by law enforcement, emergency
rescue or firefighting organizations that are under the authority of a
local or state government.
(c) For through-wall imaging systems operating with the UWB bandwidth
below 960 MHz:
(1) Parties operating this equipment must be eligible for licensing
under the provisions of part 90 of this chapter.
(2) The operation of these imaging systems requires coordination, as
detailed in § 15.525.
(3) The imaging system shall contain a manually operated switch that
causes the transmitter to cease operation within 10 seconds of being
released by the operator. In lieu of a switch located on the imaging
system, it is permissible to operate an imaging system by remote
control provided the imaging system ceases transmission within 10
seconds of the remote switch being released by the operator.
(4) The radiated emissions at or below 960 MHz shall not exceed the
emission levels in § 15.209. The radiated emissions above 960 MHz shall
not exceed the following average limits when measured using a
resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz:
Frequency in MHz EIRP in dBm
960-1610 -65.3
1610-1990 -53.3
Above 1990 -51.3
(5) In addition to the radiated emission limits specified in the table
in paragraph (c)(4) of this section, emissions from these imaging
systems 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 -75.3
1559-1610 -75.3
(d) For equipment operating with f[C]and f[M]between 1990 MHz and 10600
MHz:
(1) Parties operating this equipment must hold a license issued by the
Federal Communications Commission to operate a transmitter in the
Public Safety Radio Pool under part 90 of this chapter. The license may
be held by the organization for which the UWB operator works on a paid
or volunteer basis.
(2) This equipment may be operated only for law enforcement
applications, the providing of emergency services, and necessary
training operations.
(3) The radiated emissions at or below 960 MHz shall not exceed the
emission levels in § 15.209 of this chapter. The radiated emissions
above 960 MHz shall not exceed the following average limits when
measured using a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz:
Frequency in MHz EIRP in dBm
960-1610 -46.3
1610-10600 -41.3
Above 10600 -51.3
(4) In addition to the radiated emission limits specified in the
paragraph (d)(3) of this section, emissions from these imaging systems
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 -56.3
1559-1610 -56.3
(5) 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, f[M]. 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.
(e) Through-wall 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, emergency rescue and firefighter personnel. Operation by
any other party is a violation of 47 U.S.C. 301 and could subject the
operator to serious legal penalties."
