§ 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.”
