The Commission explained that the ``domestic allocation was less than the international allocation . . . because we are constrained by the need to protect substantial incumbent operations and licensees . . .'' To date, the domestic use of the 11 GHz band by the FSS has therefore been limited. Section 101.115(b) of the Commission's Rules establishes directional antenna standards designed to maximize the use of microwave spectrum, including the 11 GHz band, while avoiding interference between operators. Although the rule on its face does not mandate a specific size of antenna, it does specify certain technical parameters - maximum beamwidth, minimum antenna gain, and minimum radiation suppression - that, given the

On April 15, 2002 the City of Crystal Lake filed a new application for a point-to-point microwave link using the frequency 2476 MHz with emission designator 8M0F3W to transmit a video signal containing the surveillance images of a short bike path. In this connection, Crystal Lake requested waiver of Sections 101.147(f)(3), 101.109(c), and 101.115 of the Commission's Rules to allow the operation of a video system in the 2450 MHz band with a bandwidth of 8 MHz.

Directional antennas below 932.5 MHz Section 101.115(b) sets forth the technical requirements for stations operating below 932.5 MHz that are required to use directional antennas. However, the only Part 101 frequencies below 932.5 MHz are MAS frequencies, and these stations are not required to use directional antennas.

See 47 C.F.R. §§ 74.641 and 101.115. We used the lower values for the purpose of our illustrative analysis herein. The signal level from the unlicensed device that is received by the fixed receiver, SU, relative to the signal level of the desired signal, SD, equals the S/I which must exceed 30 to 50 dB, i.e., SD(dBm) - SU(dBm) = 30 to 50 dB.

The Commission explained that the ``domestic allocation was less than the international allocation . . . because we are constrained by the need to protect substantial incumbent operations and licensees . . .'' To date, the domestic use of the 11 GHz band by the FSS has therefore been limited. Section 101.115(b) of the Commission's Rules establishes directional antenna standards designed to maximize the use of microwave spectrum, including the 11 GHz band, while avoiding interference between operators. Although the rule on its face does not mandate a specific size of antenna, it does specify certain technical parameters - maximum beamwidth, minimum antenna gain, and minimum radiation suppression - that, given the

To the extent Verizon is concerned about the increased use of smaller antennas, we note that our rules already contain protections designed to minimize interference from smaller antennas. Section 101.115(b) of the Commission's Rules establishes directional antenna standards designed to maximize the use of microwave spectrum while avoiding interference between operators. More specifically, the Commission's Rules set forth certain requirements, specifications, and conditions pursuant to which FS stations may use antennas that comply with either the more stringent performance standard in Category A (also known as Standard A) or the

With this directive, Congress sought to encourage diversity among service providers, as well as the rapid deployment of new technologies. Allowing Smaller Antennas in the 11 GHz Band In September 2007, the Commission adopted amendments to Section 101.115 of its Rules to permit the installation of smaller antennas by Fixed Service (FS) operators in the 10.7-11.7 GHz (11 GHz) band. This decision reduced the minimum antenna diameter from 1.22 meters to 0.61 meters, while protecting other users from experiencing any greater interference than they would otherwise have experienced from systems using larger antennas.

  • quiet zone before commencing operations. We seek comment on these proposals. Antennas We propose to require antennas deployed to receive MVDDS services to be technically similar to home DBS antennas and have a minimum unidirectional gain of 34 dBi. With regard to transmitting antennas, we propose that such antennas not be required to meet the antenna standards specified in Section 101.115 of our Rules, because they may be sectored and not unidirectional antennas. Thus, we propose to require MVDDS transmitting antennas to (1) meet the marking and lighting requirements under Part 17 of our Rules, and (2) generally point southward. The terrestrial licensee of each service area must take into consideration that the DBS satellite receive antennas in the United States

  • we believe it unwise to adopt technical rules that will require updating as technology advances. Therefore, we eliminate the 24 GHz band from the spectral efficiency standard. We believe that this will provide 24 GHz band licensees with the necessary maximum flexibility to respond to market forces. Antenna Directivity Comsearch requests that we amend the directional antenna standards of Section 101.115 of our Rules to allow for use of one foot diameter parabolic antennas. Teligent requests that the user station antenna directivity requirement in Section 101.115 be eliminated. Based on our review of the record in this proceeding and the proposals presented by Comsearch and Teligent , we conclude that our rules regarding antenna directivity should be modified. In this regard,
