Abstract: This report provides the results of radio spectrum measurements performed to characterize the aggregate signal emissions present in the 2400-2500 MHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band and adjacent frequency bands. These measurements were performed at locations near Denver, Colorado and Los Angeles, California, and included various frequency domain and time domain tests utilizing omni-directional and directive antennas. The information contained in this report can serve as an aid to designers developing equipments to operate in these frequency bands, as well as authorities seeking to enhance compatibility between ISM devices and other radio services. It should be noted that the frequency bands 2400-2402, 2402--2417 and 2417-2450 MHz have recently been reallocated from Federal use to non-Federal use in response to the requirements of Title IV — Communications Licensing and Spectrum Allocation Improvement — of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. This further enhances the attractiveness of these frequency bands to equipmenanufacturers.

Keywords: Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) Equipment, Microwave Ovens, Aggregate Environment, 2300-2600 MHz
