Millimeter Wave Signals in General
Advantages tight beams from small antennas can reuse same frequency nearby high data capacity
Disadvantages need direct line-of-sight high free space attenuation high rain attenuation poor penetration of walls and
terrain.
At X GHz, a one-foot antenna has a diameter of X wavelengths.

FCC Restricted Bands
In the late 1980s, the FCC listed 64 “restricted bands”: closed to unlicensed transmitters range from 90 kHz to 36.5 GHz to protect sensitive receivers: – GPS, radio astronomy, satellite
downlinks, air traffic radars, etc. FCC also declared all bands above 38.6 GHz to be “restricted” Authorizing unlicensed use above 38.6 GHz always requires
removal from the restricted list part of the FCC rulemaking proceeding.

Unlicensed Proposed emissions limits:
+23 dBm EIRP average (measured with no tank wall) +43 dBm EIRP peak (measured with no tank wall)

Conclusion
Millimeter wave spectrum is the target of extensive engineering innovation
FCC rules at 57 GHz and above are badly out of date FCC moving to update rules, but regulatory process is inherently
slow.
