Sec. 24.132  Power and antenna height limits.



    (a) Stations transmitting in the 901-902 MHz band are limited to 7 

watts e.r.p.

    (b) Mobile stations transmitting in the 930-931 MHz and 940-941 MHz 

bands are limited to 7 watts e.r.p.

    (c) Base stations transmitting in the 930-931 MHz and 940-941 MHz 

bands are limited to 3500 watts e.r.p. per authorized channel and are 

unlimited in antenna height except as provided in paragraph (d) of this 

section.

    (d)(1) MTA and regional base stations located between 200 kilometers 

(124 miles) and 80 kilometers (50 miles) from their licensed service 

area border are limited to the power levels in the following table:



------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antenna HAAT in meters (feet) (see Sec.

     24.53 for HAAT HAAT calculation         Effective radiated power

                method)                          (e.r.p.) (watts)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

183 (600) and below....................  3500

183 (600) to 208 (682).................  3500 to 2584

208 (682) to 236 (775).................  2584 to 1883

236 (775) to 268 (880).................  1883 to 1372

268 (880) to 305 (1000)................  1372 to 1000

305 (1000) to 346 (1137)...............  1000 to 729

346 (1137) to 394 (1292)...............  729 to 531

394 (1292) to 447 (1468)...............  531 to 387

447 (1468) to 508 (1668)...............  387 to 282

508 (1668) to 578 (1895)...............  282 to 206

578 (1895) to 656 (2154)...............  206 to 150

656 (2154) to 746 (2447)...............  150 to 109

746 (2447) to 848 (2781)...............  109 to 80

848 (2781) to 963 (3160)...............  80 to 58

963 (3160) to 1094 (3590)..............  58 to 42

1094 (3590) to 1244 (4080).............  42 to 31

1244 (4080) to 1413 (4636).............  31 to 22

Above 1413 (4636)......................  16

------------------------------------------------------------------------



    (2) For heights between the values listed in the table, linear 

interpolation shall be used to determine maximum e.r.p.

    (e) MTA and regional base stations located less than 80 kilometers 

(50 miles) from the licensed service area border must limit their 

effective radiated power in accordance with the following formula:



PW = 0.0175 x dkm* * 6.6666 x hm* * -3.1997



PW is effective radiated power in watts



[[Page 236]]



dkm is distance in kilometers

hm is antenna HAAT in meters; see Sec. 24.53 for HAAT calculation 

method



    (f) All power levels specified in this section are expressed in 

terms of the maximum power, averaged over a 100 millisecond interval, 

when measured with instrumentation calibrated in terms of an rms-

equivalent voltage with a resolution bandwidth equal to or greater than 

the authorized bandwidth.

    (g) Additionally, PCS stations will be subject to any power limits 

imposed by international agreements.
