The Commission is conducting a proceeding in ET Docket No. 04-186 to consider authorizing the operation of new, low power devices in the TV broadcast spectrum at locations where channels are not being used for authorized services, including broadcast television, broadcast auxiliary services such as wireless microphones, and private land mobile radio (primarily public safety). This unused spectrum is often referred to at the “TV white spaces.” As part of the proceeding on this matter, the Office of Engineering and Technology is conducting a test program to assess performance capabilities of devices that would operate in the TV white spaces. These tests focus on examining the ability of such devices to sense the signals of broadcast television and wireless microphone signals and their potential for causing interference to those services.
