Regulation 4 Terms, provisions and limitations

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

The establishment or installation must be in a vehicle which has not yet been registered, placed on the market or put into service in the Community, or must be in a vehicle in which equipment was so established or installed in order to replace that equipment.

(2)

Equipment must —

(a)

only operate when the vehicle in which it is established or installed is active;

(b)

only operate in the frequency band between 21.65 gigahertz and 26.65 gigahertz; and

(c)

not cause undue interference to other users of the frequency band between 21.65 gigahertz and 26.65 gigahertz.

(3)

Transmissions from any ultra wide band part of the equipment must —

(a)

at frequencies between 22.00 gigahertz and 26.65 gigahertz have a mean power density no greater than -41.3 dBm/MHz eirp and a peak power density no greater than 0 dBm in any 50 megahertz; and

(b)

at frequencies between 21.65 gigahertz and 22.00 gigahertz have a mean power density no greater than -61.3 dBm/MHz eirp and a peak power density no greater than 0 dBm in any 50 megahertz.

(4)

Any narrow band component of the equipment must —

(a)

only operate in the frequency band 24.05 gigahertz to 24.25 gigahertz;

(b)

transmit with a peak power no greater than 20 dBm eirp; and

(c)

where transmitting with a peak power greater than -10 dBm eirp have a duty cycle which does not exceed 10%.

(5)

Any part of equipment which operates in the frequency band between 23.60 gigahertz and 24.00 gigahertz shall attenuate power emissions that appear 30 degrees or greater above the horizontal plane by at least 25 decibels.

(6)

The exemption from the provisions of section 1(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 does not apply to use of equipment operating in the frequency band between 22.21 gigahertz and 24.00 gigahertz when the vehicle in which that equipment is established or installed is within an exclusion zone.

(7)

Equipment operating in the frequency band between 22.21 gigahertz and 24.00 gigahertz must —

(a)

automatically deactivate so that all emissions cease while the vehicle in which it is established or installed is within an exclusion zone; or

(b)

be capable of manual deactivation so that all emissions cease while the vehicle in which it is established or installed is within an exclusion zone.
