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 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.
