EU – Proposed Implementing Decision regarding Harmonisation of Radio Spectrum for SRDs

The European Commission has published a draft Implementing Decision that proposes further amendment to Decision 2006/771/EC. The proposed amendment includes a modification to the band available for Wideband Data Transmission systems in the 60 GHz band, extending the range to 57-71 GHz:

 

Band no. Frequency Band Category of SRD Transmit limits
75a 57 – 71 GHz Wideband data
transmission devices
40 dBm e.i.r.p., 23 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and maximum transmit
power of 27 dBm at the antenna port or ports
75b 57 – 71 GHz Wideband data
transmission devices
55 dBm e.i.r.p., 38 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and a transmit antenna gain
≥ 30 dBi

This set of usage conditions is only available to fixed outdoor installations.

It also proposes the addition of new bands:

Band no. Frequency Band Category of SRD Transmit limits
85 442.2-450.0 kHz Non-specific short-
range devices
7 dBµA/m at 10 m. Channel spacing ≥ 150 Hz.

This set of usage conditions is only available for person detection and collision avoidance devices.

86 430-440 MHz Medical data acquisition
devices
-50 dBm/100kHz e.r.p. power density but not exceeding a total power of –
40 dBm/10MHz (both limits are intended for measurement outside of the
patient’s body).

The set of usage conditions is only available for Ultra-Low Power Wireless Medical Capsule Endoscopy (ULP-WMCE) applications [h].

87 862
-863 MHz
Non -specific short-range devices 25 mW e.r.p. Duty cycle limit: 0.1%. Bandwidth: ≤ 350 kHz.
88 5 855-5 865 MHz Transport and Traffic
Telematics devices
33 dBm e.i.r.p., 23 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and a Transmit Power Control (TPC) range of 30 dB.

This set of usage conditions is only available to vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and infrastructure-to-vehicle systems.

89 5 865-5 875 MHz Transport and Traffic
Telematics devices
33 dBm e.i.r.p., 23 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and a Transmit Power Control (TPC) range of 30 dB.

This set of usage conditions is only available to vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and infrastructure-to-vehicle systems.
