47 C.F.R. § 90.221

Current through September 30, 2024
Section 90.221 - Adjacent channel power limits
(a) For the frequency bands indicated below, operations using equipment designed to operate with a 25 kHz channel bandwidth may be authorized up to a 22 kHz bandwidth if the equipment meets the adjacent channel power (ACP) limits below. The table specifies a value for the ACP as a function of the displacement from the channel center frequency and a measurement bandwidth of 18 kHz.
(b)
(1) Maximum adjacent power levels for frequencies in the 450-470 MHz band:

Frequency offset Maximum ACP (dBc) for devices 1 watt and less Maximum ACP (dBc) for devices above 1 watt
25 kHz-55 dBc-60 dBc
50 kHz-70 dBc-70 dBc
75 kHz-70 dBc-70 dBc

(2) In any case, no requirement in excess of -36 dBm shall apply.
(c)
(1) Maximum adjacent power levels for frequencies in the 809-824/854-869 MHz band:

Frequency offset Maximum ACP (dBc) for devices less than 15 watts Maximum ACP (dBc) for devices 15 watts and above
25 kHz-55 dBc-55 dBc
50 kHz-65 dBc-65 dBc
75 kHz-65 dBc-70 dBc

(2) In any case, no requirement in excess of -36 dBm shall apply.
(d) On any frequency removed from the assigned frequency by more than 75 kHz, the attenuation of any emission must be at least 43 + 10 log (Pwatts) dB.
