Summary of Second Report and Order 1. On February 14, 2002, the Commission adopted a First Report and Order implementing regulations to permit the unlicensed operation of ultra-wideband transmission systems. In response to fourteen petitions for reconsideration, a Memorandum Opinion and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making (‘‘MO&O and FNPRM’’) was adopted on February 13, 2003, 69 FR 19746 and 69 FR 19773, April 22, 2003. Specifically, the Commission proposed amendments to four areas of its part 15 regulations. These amendments addressed: (1) The operation of low PRF systems in the 3.1–10.6 GHz band; (2) the measurement procedures applied to frequency hopping vehicular radar systems operating in the 22–29 GHz band; (3) the peak power limits applicable to widebandwidth, non-UWB part 15 transmitters; and (4) the elimination of the UWB definition. 2. Low PRF UWB systems. In the FNPRM, the Commission invited comment on whether to amend the rules to permit the operation of any UWB product under the UWB standards currently designated for hand-held devices as long as the PRF does not exceed 200 kHz and the equipment employs a pulsed or an impulse modulation. In the 2nd R&O, the Commission declines to amend its rules stating that low PRF systems can have a higher potential for causing interference unless some type of signal processing is incorporated in the victim receiver. The Commission will accommodate the requests from the equipment developers by increasing the peak power emission limit for select frequency bands available under the non-UWB part 15 regulations. 3. Non-UWB peak power emission limits. When an average emission limit E:\FR\FM\09FER1.SGM 09FER1
