microphones (also known as wireless microphones), in-ear monitors or wireless audio transmitters.

  1. Transmitters using e.i.r.p.s greater than 0 dBW (1 W) must employ frequency hopping or digital modulation techniques.

  2. In the band 402 – 406 MHz, the maximum permitted duty cycle is 1%.

  3. In the band 868 – 870 MHz, the maximum power is −27 dBW (2 mW) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted duty cycle is 1%, except in the band 869.20 – 869.25 MHz, where the maximum power is −20 dBW (10 mW) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted duty cycle is 0.1%.

  4. In the band 5150 – 5250 MHz, the maximum power is −7 dBW (200 mW) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted power spectral density is −20 dBW/MHz (10 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p. or equivalently −36 dBW/25 kHz (0.25 mW/25 kHz) e.i.r.p.

  5. Indoor-Only Systems: In the band 5250 – 5350 MHz, the maximum power is −7 dBW (200 mW) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted power spectral density is −20 dBW/MHz (10 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p., provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented. If Transmitter Power Control is not used, then the maximum power (e.i.r.p.) value must be reduced by 3 dB;

Indoor and Outdoor Systems: In the band 5250 – 5350 MHz, the maximum power is 0 dBW (1 W) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted power spectral density is −13 dBW/MHz (50 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p., provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented in conjunction with the following vertical radiation angle mask where θ is the angle above the local horizontal plane (of the Earth):

Maximum permitted mean power density Elevation angle above horizontal
−13 dB(W/MHz) for 0° ≤θ <8°
−13 – 0.716(θ – 8) dB(W/MHz) for 8° ≤θ <40°
−35.9 – 1.22(θ – 40) dB(W/MHz) for 40° ≤θ ≤45°
−42 dB(W/MHz) for 45° ≤θ;
  1. In the band 5470 – 5725 MHz, the transmitter peak power must not exceed −6 dBW (250 mW). The maximum power is 0 dBW (1 W) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted power spectral density is −13 dBW/MHz (50 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p., provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented. If Transmitter Power Control is not in use, then the maximum power (e.i.r.p.) value must be reduced by 3 dB.

  2. In the band 7.4 – 8.8 MHz, use is restricted to inductive systems where the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 9 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres.

  3. In the band 3.155 – 3.400 MHz, the maximum permitted field strength is 5 dBµA/m measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at a distance of 10 metres. In the bands 3.64 – 4.04 MHz and 10.44 – 10.76 MHz, the maximum permitted field strengths are −15 dBµA/m and −20 dBµA/m, respectively, both measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at 10 metres.

  4. In the band 49.82 – 49.98 MHz, transmissions are permitted under this licence from 1 September 2015.

  5. Indoor-Only Systems: In the band 57 – 66 GHz, the power spectral density must not exceed −17 dBW/MHz (20mW/MHz) e.i.r.p.

  6. Transmissions must not exceed the following unwanted emission limits: −79 dBW (−49 dBm) within 800 MHz – 915 MHz and −63 dBW (−33 dBm) within 928 MHz – 1 GHz. The reference bandwidth for emissions is 100 kHz. Outside the band 800 MHz – 1 GHz, the limits prescribed in applicable standards prescribed in the Radiocommunications (Radio Standards) Notice 2016* apply. In the absence of applicable standards, the limits prescribed in Table 2 of the notice apply.

  7. (deleted)

  8. In the band 009 – 0.090 MHz, the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 72 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres. In the band 0.090 – 0.205 MHz, the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 43 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres, except in the band 0.119 – 0.135 MHz, where the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 66 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres. In the band 0.370 – 0.430 MHz,
