EUROPE (EC) PROPOSED HAMONIZATION OF RADIO SPECTRUM FOR SHORT RANGE DEVICES (SRDs)
Proposed date of entry into force: To be determined
The European Commission has published a draft Implementing Decision that proposes further amendment to Decision 2006/771/EC. The proposed amendment includes a modification to the band available for Wideband Data Transmission systems in the 60 GHz band, extending the range to 57-71 GHz:
| Band no. | Frequency Band | Category of SRD | Transmit Limits |
| 75a | 57 – 71 GHz | Wideband data transmission devices | 40 dBm e.i.r.p., 23 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and maximum transmit power of 27 dBm at the antenna port or ports |
| 75b | 57 – 71 GHz | Wideband data transmission devices | 55 dBm e.i.r.p., 38 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and a transmit antenna gain ≥ 30 dBi
This set of usage conditions is only available to fixed |
Propose of additional new bands:
| Band no. | Frequency Band | Category of SRD | Transmit Limits |
| 85 | 442.2-450.0 kHz | Non-specific short-range devices | 7 dBµA/m at 10 m. Channel spacing ≥ 150 Hz. This set of usage conditions is only available for person detection and collision avoidance devices. |
| 86 | 430-440 MHz | Medical data acquisition devices | Allow -50 dBm/100kHz e.r.p. power density but not exceeding a total power of –40 dBm/10MHz (both limits are intended for measurement outside of the patient’s body). The set of usage conditions is only available for Ultra-Low Power Wireless Medical Capsule Endoscopy (ULP-WMCE) applications [h]. |
| 87 | 862-863 MHz | Non -specific short-range devices | 25 mW e.r.p. Duty cycle limit: 0.1%. Bandwidth: ≤ 350 kHz. |
| 88 | 5855 – 5865 MHz | Transport and Traffic Telematics devices | 33 dBm e.i.r.p., 23 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and a Transmit Power Control (TPC) range of 30 dB. This set of usage conditions is only available to vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and infrastructure-to-vehicle systems. |
| 89 | 5865 – 5875 MHz | Transport and Traffic Telematics devices | 33 dBm e.i.r.p., 23 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density and a Transmit Power Control (TPC) range of 30 dB. This set of usage conditions is only available to vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and infrastructure-to-vehicle systems. |
