The ILLR Computer Program
-
This bulletin provides a detailed definition of the Independent Location
Longley-Rice (ILLR) computer program established in Section 73.683(d)
of the FCC rules as the means of predicting the broadcast television
field strength received at individual locations. The Commission developed
the ILLR Computer Program following the directions of Congress in
the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 (SHVIA). The program
computes the predicted signal strength of analog television (TV) stations
as received over-the-air at individual viewing locations. Individual
locations where a network TV signal is below a certain signal strength
level are eligible to receive the network broadcast as subscribers
of satellite TV services. The program is used by Satellite TV service
providers to determine whether particular TV network signals may be
included in the package of channels delivered to individual subscribers.
To facilitate use of the program by others, this bulletin provides
details for installing the program on other computers.

Guidelines for Testing and Verifying the Accuracy of E911 Location
Systems
-
This bulletin clarifies the application of the FCC's wireless Enhanced
911 (E911) rules. Those rules establish a program to ensure that when
a wireless telephone caller dials 911, the 911 call center will know
the caller's geographical location to help speed the dispatch of help
to the scene of the emergency. The FCC's rules require that wireless
carriers meet specific accuracy and reliability standards in reporting
the location of 911 calls. This bulletin clarifies how the performance
of location systems and equipment may be tested and verified for compliance
with the accuracy rules.

Millimeter Wave Propagation: Spectrum Management Implications
-
Millimeter wave propagation has its own peculiarities. This paper
reviews the characteristics of millimeter wave propagation, including
free space propagation and the effects of various physical factors
on propagation. It was created to provide an easy to understand reference
explaining the characteristics of radio signal propagation at millimeter
wave frequencies and their implications for spectrum management.

Evaluating Compliance With FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure
to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields
-
This revised OET Bulletin 65 has been prepared to provide assistance
in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting facilities,
operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The bulletin offers guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance.
However, it is not intended to establish mandatory procedures, and
other methods and procedures may be acceptable if based on sound engineering
practice.

Understanding The FCC Part 15 Regulations for Low Power, Non-Licensed
Transmitters
-
This bulletin has been prepared to provide a basic understanding
of the FCC regulations for low power, unlicensed transmitters, and
includes answers to some commonly-asked questions. This edition of
the bulletin does not contain information concerning personal communication
services (PCS) transmitters operating under Part 15, Subpart D of
the rules. The FCC rules and regulations governing PCS transmitters
may be found in 47 CFR, Parts 0 to 19. This bulletin also does not
cover recent changes in the rules to accomodate devices operating
above 40 GHz (millimeter waves). These changes will be discussed in
later editions of this bulletin.

Understanding The FCC Regulations for Computers and other Digital
Devices
-
This bulletin has been prepared to provide a basic understanding
of the FCC regulations for digital (computing) devices, and includes
answers to some commonly-asked questions. The information in this
bulletin reflects the current rules and regulations governing digital
devices. These rules and regulations are expected to change soon as
a result of final action to be taken on the Notice of Proposed Rule
Making (NPRM) adopted in ET Docket 95-19. In the NPRM, the FCC proposes
to amend Parts 2 and 15 of the rules to deregulate the equipment authorization
requirements for digital devices.

Questions and Answers about Biological Effects and Potential
Hazards of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields
-
This is an informative bulletin written as a result of increasing
interest and concern of the public with respect to this issue. The
expanding use of radiofrequency technology has resulted in speculation
concerning the alleged "electromagnetic pollution" of the
environment and the potential dangers of exposure to non-ionizing
radiation. This publication is designed to provide factual information
to the public by answering some of the most commonly asked questions.
It includes the latest information on FCC guidelines for human exposure
to RF energy.
