FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Methods of Measurements for Determining Compliance of Radio Control and Security Alarm Devices and Associated Receivers

摘要

The FCC amended Part 15 of its rules to permit the operation of a low power radio control or security alarm transmitter without an individual license. These rules, in Sections 15.201 through 15.215, are in addition to the provisions for other low power communication devices in Subparts D and E of Part 15. Section 15.122 in Subpart D provides for transmitters which emit periodic transmissions. Devices operating under Section 15.122 periodic transmissions. Devices operating under Section 15.122 should also use this procedure in determining compliance. The requirements for the receiver are in Subpart C of Part 15. In addition to meeting certain technical requirements, the radio control transmitter and receiver must also be certificated by the Commission in accordance with the procedures in Subpart B of Part 15 and Subpart J of Part 2. Certification by the Commission is a prerequisite for marketing the equipment pursuant to Subpart I of Part 2.
