§ 80.211   Emission limitations.

   The emissions must be attenuated according to the following schedule.

   (a) The mean power when using emissions H3E, J3E and R3E:

   (1) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 50
   percent up to and including 150 percent of the authorized bandwidth:

   at least 25 dB for transmitters installed before February 1, 1992,

   at least 28 dB for transmitters installed on or after February 1, 1992;

   (2) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 150
   percent up to and including 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth: At
   least 35 dB; and

   (3) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 250
   percent of the authorized bandwidth: At least 43 plus 10log10 (mean power in
   watts) dB.

   (b) For transmitters operating in the band 1626.5-1646.5 MHz. In any 4 kHz
   band the mean power of emissions shall be attenuated below the mean output
   power of the transmitter as follows:

   (1) Where the center frequency is removed from the assigned frequency by
   more than 50 percent up to and including 100 percent of the authorized
   bandwidth: At least 25 dB;

   (2) Where the center frequency is removed from the assigned frequency by
   more than 100 percent up to 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth: At
   least 35 dB; and

   (3) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 250
   percent of the authorized bandwidth: At least 43 plus 10log10 (mean power in
   watts) dB.

   (c) In any 4 kHz band the peak power of spurious emissions and noise at the
   input to the transmit antenna must be attenuated below the peak output power
   of the station as follows:

   (1) 125 dB at 1525.0 MHz, increasing linearly to 90 dB at 1612.5 MHz;

   (2) 90 dB at 1612.5 MHz increasing linearly to 60 dB at 1624.0 MHz;

   (3) 90 dB from 1624.0 MHz to 1650.0 MHz, except at frequencies near the
   transmitted carrier where the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (3)
   of this section, apply;

   (4) 60 dB at 1650.0 MHz decreasing linearly to 90 dB at 1662.5 MHz;

   (5) 90 dB at 1662.5 MHz decreasing linearly to 125 dB at 1752.5 MHz; and

   (6) 125 dB outside above range, except for harmonics which must comply with
   (b)(3) of this section.

   (d)  The  mean  power  of emissions from radiotelephone survival craft
   transmitters, 9 GHz search and rescue transponders, and radiotelegraph
   survival craft transmitters must be attenuated below the mean output power
   of the transmitter as follows:

   (1) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 50
   percent, up to and including 100 percent of the authorized bandwidth: at
   least 25 dB;

   (2) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 100
   percent of the authorized bandwidth: at least 30 dB.

   (e) The mean power of EPIRBs operating on 121.500 MHz, 243.000 MHz and
   406.0-406.1 MHz must be as follows:

   (1) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 50
   percent, up to and including 100 percent of the authorized bandwidth: At
   least 25 dB;

   (2) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 100
   percent: at least 30 dB.

   (f) The mean power when using emissions other than those in paragraphs (a),
   (b), (c) and (d) of this section:

   (1) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 50
   percent up to and including 100 percent of the authorized bandwidth: At
   least 25 dB;

   (2) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 100
   percent up to and including 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth: At
   least 35 dB; and

   (3) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 250
   percent of the authorized bandwidth: At least 43 plus 10log10 (mean power in
   watts) dB.
