Appendix 1 to Subpart E of Part 95—Glossary of Terms

   The definitions used in this subpart E are:

   Authorized bandwidth. Maximum permissible bandwidth of a transmission.

   Carrier power. Average TP during one unmodulated RF cycle.

   CB. Citizens Band Radio Service.

   CB transmitter. A transmitter that operates or is intended to operate at a
   station authorized in the CB.

   Channel frequencies. Reference frequencies from which the carrier frequency,
   suppressed  or  otherwise,  may not deviate by more than the specified
   frequency tolerance.

   Crystal. Quartz piezo-electric element.

   Crystal controlled. Use of a crystal to establish the transmitted frequency.

   dB. Decibels.

   EIRP. Effective Isotropic Radiated Power. Antenna input power times gain for
   free-space or in-tissue measurement configurations required by MedRadio,
   expressed in watts, where the gain is referenced to an isotropic radiator.

   FCC. Federal Communications Commission.

   Filtering. Refers to the requirement in § 95.633(b).

   FRS. Family Radio Service.

   GMRS. General Mobile Radio Service.

   GMRS transmitter. A transmitter that operates or is intended to operate at a
   station authorized in the GMRS.

   Harmful  interference.  Any  transmission, radiation or induction that
   endangers the functioning of a radionavigation or other safety service or
   seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication
   service  operating  in  accordance  with applicable laws, treaties and
   regulations.

   Mean power. TP averaged over at least 30 cycles of the lowest modulating
   frequency, typically 0.1 seconds at maximum power.

   Medical Body Area Network (MBAN). An MBAN is a low power network consisting
   of  a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter and one or more multiple
   medical body-worn devices all of which transmit or receive non-voice data or
   related device control commands for the purpose of measuring and recording
   physiological  parameters  and other patient information or performing
   diagnostic or therapeutic functions via radiated bi- or uni-directional
   electromagnetic signals.

   Medical body-worn device. Apparatus that is placed on or in close proximity
   to  the human body (e.g., within a few centimeters) for the purpose of
   performing diagnostic or therapeutic functions.

   Medical body-worn transmitter. A MedRadio transmitter intended to be placed
   on or in close proximity to the human body (e.g., within a few centimeters)
   used to facilitate communications with other medical communications devices
   for  purposes of delivering medical therapy to a patient or collecting
   medical diagnostic information from a patient.

   Medical implant device. Apparatus that is placed inside the human body for
   the purpose of performing diagnostic or therapeutic functions.

   Medical implant event. An occurrence or the lack of an occurrence recognized
   by a medical implant device, or a duly authorized health care professional,
   that requires the transmission of data from a medical implant transmitter in
   order to protect the safety or well-being of the person in whom the medical
   implant transmitter has been implanted.

   Medical  implant transmitter. A MedRadio transmitter in which both the
   antenna and transmitter device are designed to operate within a human body
   for  the purpose of facilitating communications from a medical implant
   device.

   Medical  Micropower Network (MMN). An ultra-low power wideband network
   consisting of a MedRadio programmer/control transmitter and medical implant
   transmitters, all of which transmit or receive non-voice data or related
   device control commands for the purpose of facilitating functional electric
   stimulation, a technique using electric currents to activate and monitor
   nerves and muscles.

   MedRadio  programmer/control  transmitter. A MedRadio transmitter that
   operates or is designed to operate outside of a human body for the purpose
   of communicating with a receiver, or for triggering a transmitter, connected
   to a medical implant device or to a medical body-worn device used in the
   MedRadio Service; and which also typically includes a frequency monitoring
   system that initiates a MedRadio communications session.

   MedRadio Service. Medical Device Radiocommunication Service.

   MedRadio transmitter. A transmitter authorized to operate in the MedRadio
   service.

   MURS. Multi-Use Radio Service.

   Peak envelope power. TP averaged during one RF cycle at the highest crest of
   the modulation envelope.

   R/C. Radio Control Radio Service.

   R/C transmitter. A transmitter that operates or is intended to operate at a
   station authorized in the R/C.

   RF. Radio frequency.

   TP. RF transmitter power expressed in W, either mean or peak envelope, as
   measured at the transmitter output antenna terminals.

   Transmitter. Apparatus that converts electrical energy received from a
   source into RF energy capable of being radiated.

   W. Watts.
