§ 101.109 Bandwidth.
(a) Each authorization issued pursuant to these rules will show, as the
emission designator, a symbol representing the class of emission which must
be prefixed by a number specifying the necessary bandwidth. This figure does
not necessarily indicate the bandwidth actually occupied by the emission at
any instant. In those cases where part 2 of this chapter does not provide a
formula for the computation of the necessary bandwidth, the occupied
bandwidth may be used in the emission designator.
(b) Stations in this service will be authorized any type of emission, method
of modulation, and transmission characteristic, consistent with efficient
use of the spectrum and good engineering practice, except that Type B,
damped-wave emission will not be authorized.
(c) The maximum bandwidth which will be authorized per frequency assigned is
set out in the table that follows. Regardless of the maximum authorized
bandwidth specified for each frequency band, the Commission reserves the
right to issue a license for less than the maximum bandwidth if it appears
that a lesser bandwidth would be sufficient to support an applicant's
intended communications.

^1The maximum bandwidth that will be authorized for each particular
frequency in this band is detailed in the appropriate frequency table in
§ 101.147. If contiguous channels are aggregated in the
928-928.85/952-952.85/956.25-956.45 MHz, the 928.85-929/959.85-960 MHz, or
the 932-932.5/941-941.5 MHz bands, then the bandwidth may exceed that which
is listed in the table.
^21250 KHz, 1875 KHz, or 2500 KHz on a case-by-case basis.
^3To be specified in authorization. For the band 92 to 95 GHz, maximum
bandwidth is licensed in one segment of 2 GHz from 92-94 GHz and one 0.9 GHz
segment from 94.1 to 95 GHz, or the total of the loaded band if smaller than
the assigned bandwidth.
^4For exceptions, see § 101.147(s).
^5A 12.5 kHz bandwidth applies only to frequencies listed in § 101.147(b)(1)
through (4).
^6For frequencies listed in § 101.147(b)(1) through (4), consideration will
be given on a case-by-case basis to authorizing bandwidths up to 50 kHz.
^7For channel block assignments in the 24,250-25,250 MHz and 38,600-40,000
MHz bands, the authorized bandwidth is equivalent to an unpaired channel
block assignment or to either half of a symmetrical paired channel block
assignment. When adjacent channels are aggregated, equipment is permitted to
operate over the full channel block aggregation without restriction.
Note to footnote 7: Unwanted emissions shall be suppressed at the aggregate
channel block edges based on the same roll-off rate as is specified for a
single channel block in § 101.111(a)(1) or in § 101.111(a)(2)(ii) and (iii) as
appropriate.
^8For incumbent private operational fixed point-to-point stations in this
band (those not licensed as MVDDS), the maximum bandwidth shall be 20 MHz.
