3. There is a demand for frequencies for air modelling from the modelcontrol aircraft hobbyists in Hong Kong. It is noted that other countries�spectrum regulators, such as those in the USA, Canada, Australia and mostEuropean countries, have already adopted frequencies in the 35 MHz, 40 MHzand 72 MHz for air modelling on a licence-exempted basis. It may be suitable toallocate these bands for air modelling in Hong Kong as well.

4. In Europe, Japan and the USA, the 76 � 77 GHz band has been allocatedfor automotive radar systems. These radar systems are devices that can detectconditions within 100 metres of a vehicle using radio waves and their mainapplication is to improve vehicle safety. It is envisaged that the use of theseautomotive radar systems in the said band will become popular in Hong Kong.

FOREWORD

1. This specification is prescribed under section 32D of the TelecommunicationsOrdinance (Cap 106) (�the Ordinance�) to set out the technical and evaluationrequirements for low power device (LPD). LPD generally refers toradiocommunications apparatus that transmits in assigned frequency bands at a lowpower level, normally 100 mW or less, as covered by the Telecommunications(Telecommunications Apparatus)(Exemption from Licensing) Order (�the Order�).

2. Under section 39 of the Ordinance, a person is exempted from the obligation to hold alicence under the Ordinance so long as the conditions set out in the Order are satisfied.Radiocommunications apparatus falling into the scope of this specification, unlesscovered by other specification with more specific scope, shall meet the requirementsstipulated to fulfil the conditions of the Order.

3. It is the responsibility of the suppliers to ensure that their LPDs comply with thisspecification. Compliance with this specification should be determined inaccordance with the method of measurement contained in Annex 1 of thisspecification as far as possible. Where a test method specified in this specificationcannot be followed, an alternatively appropriate method may be used. Suppliers mayseek advice from the Telecommunications Authority (TA) if necessary.

4. At present, the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) operates a HongKong Telecommunications Equipment Evaluation and Certification (HKTEC)Scheme. Details of the HKTEC Scheme can be found in the information note OFTAI 421. Under the Scheme, suppliers or manufacturers of the radiocommunicationsapparatus may apply to OFTA for certification of their apparatus against thisspecification. The application procedures for certification of radiocommunicationsapparatus can be found in the information note OFTA I 401. A prescribed label maybe affixed to the equipment which has been certified by the TA. Details of thelabelling arrangement can be found in the Standardisation Guide HKTA 3211.

5. In addition to this specification, radiocommunications apparatus capable of being usedfor connection as customer premises equipment (CPE) to the publictelecommunications networks (PTNs) in Hong Kong should comply with the relevantnetwork connection specification(s) issued by the TA. Manufacturers or suppliersmay also apply for a separate certification by the TA to verify conformity of theapparatus with the relevant specification(s) before it is connected to the PTNs.Details concerning the application procedure for certification of CPE by the TA can befound in the information note OFTA I 412.

6. LPDs are required to operate on a �no-interference no-protection� basis, i.e. they maynot cause radio interference and cannot claim protection from interference.Manufacturers or suppliers of LPD are advised to consider the potentiality ofinterference due to the shared use of the frequencies.

The transmitter shall be connected to an artificial antenna (Clause 3.3) and shall beswitched on, if possible, without modulation. The power supplied to the artificialantenna shall be measured.

The effective radiated power (e.r.p.) is the product of power supplied to the antennaand its gain relative to a half-wave dipole.

When this method is used to determine the radiated power, the effective gain of theequipment antenna must be stated based on measurement or on the data supplied bythe antenna manufacturer.

3.6.3 Method of measurement for equipment with integral antenna

(a) At a test site complying with Clause 3.5.1, the equipment shall be placed atthe specified height on a non-conducting support and in the position closest tothe normal use as declared by the manufacturer;

(b) The transmitter shall be switched on, if possible, without modulation and themeasuring receiver shall be tuned to the frequency of the fundamental emissionof the equipment;

(h) The effective radiated power is equal to the power supplied to the substitutionantenna, increased by the known relationship if necessary;

(i) A check shall be made at other planes of polarisation to ensure that the valueobtained above is the maximum;

(j) Measurements shall be repeated with the transmitter being modulated withnormal test signal; and

(k) If applicable, measurements shall be repeated with the transmitter on standby.

3.8 MEASUREMENT OF FIELD STRENGTH BELOW 30 MHz

To the extent possible, the equipment under test shall be measured on an open fieldsite at the distance specified.

Measurement may be performed at a distance closer than that specified. However,attempt should be made to avoid making measurement in the near field. Whenperforming measurements at a closer distance than specified, the results shall beextrapolated to the specified distance either by making measurements at a minimumof two distances on at least one radical to determine the proper extrapolation factoror by using the square of an inverse linear distance extrapolation factor (40dB/decade).

4. TRANSMITTER TESTS

4.1 FUNDAMENTAL EMISSION

Equipment operating in one of the frequency bands given in the first column of thetable in Paragraph 2.1 of the Specification is not required to operate on specificcarrier frequencies. The effective radiated power of the fundamental emission shallbe measured according to Clause 3.6 of this Annex. The measured value shall notexceed the limits as specified in the second column of the table in Paragraph 2.1 ofthe Specification.

4.2 POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY

Measurement of power spectral density applies only to equipment operating in thebands 819.1-823.1 MHz or 18.82-18.87 GHz.

The measuring receiver shall have resolution bandwidths of 25 kHz and 100 kHz inthe bands 819.1-823.1 MHz and 18.82-18.87 GHz respectively. Where theresolution bandwidth setting available on the spectrum analyser is limited, a meansof interpolation between settings shall be used.

The power level calibration of the measuring receiver shall be related to the powerlevel measured in Clause 4.1.1 of this Annex by a known radio frequency attenuationfactor. This factor will be used to calculate the absolute levels of radio frequencypower.

The transmitter of the equipment shall be switched on and adjusted in a mode thatrepresents the maximum level of power spectral density in its normal operation.

In any of the specified bandwidth, the power spectral density shall not exceed thecorresponding limits given in the second column of the table in Paragraph 2.1 of theSpecification.

4.3 SPURIOUS EMISSION

The effective radiated power of spurious emission from the equipment shall bemeasured in accordance with the method in Clause 3.7 of this Annex. Any poweremitted by frequencies separated by 250% or more of the necessary bandwidth fromthe centre frequency of the emission from the equipment shall not exceed the limitsas specified in Paragraph 2.2 of the Specification.
