  • 4,032 DBS subscribers. Using the methodology described above, Adelphia asserts that there are 3,113 DBS subscribers in Arcadia resulting in a penetration rate of 16.2 percent. Adelphia also submitted an October 31, 2001 SkyTrends report for Arcadia. Again, using the attribution methodology described above, Adelphia asserts that, as of October 31, 2001, there were 2,933 DBS subscribers resulting in a 15.31 percent penetration rate. Accordingly, we find that Adelphia has demonstrated that the number of households subscribing to programming services offered by a provider other than the largest MVPD exceeds 15 percent of the households in Arcadia. Based on the foregoing, we conclude that Adelphia has submitted sufficient evidence demonstrating that its cable system serving the City of Arcadia, California has

If the device is designed to learn over a range of frequencies, the test report must include measurements that verify that the device does not exceed the field strength limits set forth in Section 15.231 with a source transmitter or equivalent signal generator operating on a low, medium and high frequency within the intended range (see Section 15.31(m)). The test report must include measurements that verify that the device's emissions do not exceed the limits in Section 15.231(b) for that specific frequency (or frequencies). Operating frequencies that have harmonics that fall in a restricted band below 1 GHz should also be tested. These harmonics must show compliance with 15.205. Below 1000 MHz measurements must be made with a

  • with secured entrances, such as airports, to identify weapons or contraband on a person. The SafeView radar consists of two vertical masts containing 192 transmit antennas. Each antenna element in turn sweeps from 24.25 GHz through 30 GHz, taking 6 microseconds per sweep. The masts rotate around a subject over a 2 second interval. SafeView requests a waiver of Section 15.31(c) which requires swept frequency systems to be measured with the emission sweep stopped. When measured in this fashion, SafeView indicates that the equipment will comply with the average emission limits in Section 15.209. Safeview also requests a waiver of the peak emission limit in Section 15.35(b). The FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) is reviewing the waiver request. OET

The "distance extrapolation factor[]" is the projected rate at which radio frequency strength decreases from a radiation- emitting source, used to estimate signal decay for Access BPL and resulting interference to radio operators at various distances from a source without actually measuring such emissions. See Order, 19 F.C.C.R. at 21,303; NOI, 18 F.C.C.R. at 8508; 47 C.F.R. � 15.31(f). The Commission's Part 15 rules, � 15.31(f)(2), include a generally applicable extrapolation factor of 40 dB per decade for any device that may have potential to interfere with licensed operators at frequencies below 30 MHz. The Commission acknowledged that the extrapolation factor "is an important consideration in determining compliance with the emission limits in the rules" because "[i]f the extrapolation

Section 15.31(h) of the rules requires that compliance measurements for systems with multiple antennas must be taken with all radiating sources emitting. Should this requirement be applicable to the special case of sector or phased array antennas?

Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module.

It indicated that these procedures would draw on the measurement procedures for 5 GHz U-NII devices, to the extent those procedures are relevant to unlicensed devices in the TV bands and the rules it adopts for their operation, and its general measurement procedures for unlicensed devices as specified in Section 15.31 of the rules. The Commission also presented proposals on certain specific measurement issues. With regard to testing the sensing detection threshold, it proposed to subject the sensing capabilities of unlicensed devices to an ATSC DTV signal, an NTSC signal and a 200 kHz FM signal with peak levels adjusted to the threshold level. It also observed that the test procedure

The Commission also observed that NTIA's earlier BPL computer simulation modeling as reported in the Technical Appendix to its June 2004 comments showed results indicating that the attenuation in field strength of emissions from BPL systems with distance from the power line is consistent with the existing distance extrapolation factors for unlicensed devices in Section 15.31(f)(1) and (2) of the rules when used with the slant range to the power line. No party offered analysis or argument to dispute NTIA's results. These simulation results were conducted using the widely recognized and employed National Electromagnetic Code (NEC) software for analyzing radio propagation.

In this regard, we propose to amend Section 15.31(a)(2) to update the version of the standard by which UPCS devices must be measured for compliance with the performance requirements in Part 15 Subpart D of the Rules, and to revise Section 15.323(a) to correct a typographical error in the second sentence.

Where such a line cannot be approximated, we will also require that measurements be made at a different perpendicular position along the power line very nearby or at the same perpendicular position but on the opposite side of the line from the first set of measurements. This new site-specific procedure will replace the existing Section 15.31(f)(2) alternative for Access BPL that only requires two measurements. This plan conforms substantially to the IEEE P1775-2010 standard which has been developed, as HomePlug and Intellon point out, by a body of experts.

  • Little Corporation, C5803-R-001a, February 3, 1999; Cumulative Impact of Large Numbers of TM-UWB Users, Time Domain. Most UWB transmitters produce a line spectrum while those employing high levels of random pulse positioning can appear more as Gaussian noise. For the former devices, the emission only appears as noise depending on the settings of the measurement instrumentation. See 47 C.F.R. �� 15.31-15.35. See 47 C.F.R. � 15.33. See 47 C.F.R. �� 15.35(b) and 15.209(d). There are also certain rule sections that specify the application of a total peak power limit over a wider bandwidth. See, for example, 47 C.F.R. �� 15.247(b) and 15.255(e). See, for example, comments of Endress Hauser at 4 and 6, Interval at 11, and Rosemount Measurement at 1-2.

Examples of devices that operate under these rules include wireless local area networks, cordless telephones, wireless cash registers and wireless inventory tracking systems. The FCC has no established test procedure for frequency hopping spread spectrum devices. Such tests are to be performed following the general guidance in Section 15.31 of the FCC Rules, using good engineering practice. The following provides both information on the measurement techniques that have been accepted in the past for equipment authorization purposes, as well as general filing guidelines which may be used to address the various technical requirements for frequency hopping spread spectrum transmitters.

Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module.
