[i] Member States must allow adjacent frequency bands within this table to be used as a single frequency band provided the sp ecific conditions of each of these adjacent 
frequency bands are met.  
[ii] As defined in Article 2(3)   28   [iii] Member States must allow the usage of spectrum up to the transmit power, field strength or power density given in this table. In accordance with Article 3(3), they may 
impose less restrictive conditions, i.e. allow the use of spectrum with higher transmit power, field strength or power densit y, provided that this does not reduce or 
compromise the appropriate coexistence between short -range devices in bands ha rmonised by this Decision.  
[iv] Member States may only impose these ‘additional parameters (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules)’, an d shall not add other parameters or spectrum 
access and mitigation requirements. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3) , mean that Member States may completely omit the ‘additional 
parameters (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules)’ in a given cell or allow higher values, provided that th e appropriate sharing en vironment in the 
harmonised band is not compromised.  
[v] Member States may only impose these ‘other usage restrictions’ and shall not add additional usage restrictions. As less r estrictive conditions may be introduced within the 
meaning of Article 3(3), Me mber States may omit one or all of these restrictions, provided that the appropriate sharing environment in the harmonised ba nd is not 
compromised.  
[vi] ‘Duty cycle’  is defined as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of Σ(Ton)/(Tobs) where Ton is the “on”  time of a single transmitter device and Tobs is the observation 
period. Ton is measured in an observation frequency band (Fobs). Unless otherwise specified in this technical annex, Tobs is a continuous one hour period and Fobs is the 
applicable frequency band in this technical annex. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3) , mean that Member States may allow a higher value for 
‘duty cycle’.

wireless microphones for use at concerts or other stage productions, and low power analogue FM transmitters (band 36).  
[9] The radio determination device category covers radio devices that are used for determining the position, velocity  and/or other characteristics of an object, or for obtaining 
information relating to these parameters. Radiodetermination equipment typically conducts measurements to obtain such charact eristics. Any kind of point -to-point or 
point -to-multipoint radio comm unications is outside of this definition.  
[10] ‘Tank Level Probing Radar’ (TLPR) is a specific type of radiodetermination application, which is used for tank level mea surements and is installed in metallic or 
reinforced concrete tanks, or similar structure s made of material with comparable attenuation characteristics. The purpose of the tank is to contain a substance.  
[11] ‘Model control devices’ are a specific kind of telecommand and telemetry radio equipment that is used to remotely contro l the movement o f models (principally 
miniature representations of vehicles) in the air, on land or over or under the water surface.  
[12] The radio frequency identification (RFID) device category covers tag/interrogator based radio communications systems, co nsisting of ra dio devices (tags) attached to 
animate or inanimate items and of transmitter/receiver units (interrogators) which activate the tags and receive data back. T ypical uses include the tracking and  30   identification of items, such as for electronic article surveil lance (EAS), and collecting and transmitting data relating to the items to which tags are attached, which may be 
either battery -less, battery assisted or battery powered. The responses from a tag are validated by its interrogator and passed to its host system. 
[13] The transport and traffic telematics device category covers radio devices that are used in the fields of transport (road, rail, water or air, depending on the relevant 
technical restrictions), traffic management, navigation, mobility management a nd in intelligent transport systems (ITS). Typical applications are used for interfaces 
between different modes of transport, communication between vehicles (e.g. car to car), between vehicles and fixed locations (e.g. car to infrastructure) as well as 
communication from and to users.  
[14] The inductive device category covers radio devices that use magnetic fields with inductive loop systems for near field commun ications. Typical uses include devices for 
car immobilisation, animal identification, alarm syst ems, cable detection, waste management, personal identification, wireless voice links, access control, proximity 
sensors, anti -theft systems, including RF anti -theft induction systems, data transfer to hand -held devices, automatic article identification, w ireless control systems and 
automatic road tolling.  
[15] The low duty cycle/high reliability device category covers radio devices that rely on low overall spectrum utilisation a nd low duty cycle spectrum access rules to ensure 
highly reliable spectrum acce ss and transmissions in shared bands. Typical uses include alarm systems that use radio communication for indicating an alert  condition at a 
distant location and social alarms systems that allow reliable communication for a person in distress.  
[16] The wid eband data transmission device category covers radio devices that use wideband modulation techniques to access the spectrum. Typical uses include wireless 
access systems such as radio local area networks (WAS/RLANs)  or wideband SRDs in data networks . 
[17] In band 20 higher field strengths and additional usage restrictions apply for inductive applications.  
[18] In bands 22a, 24, 25, 27a, and 28a higher field strengths and additional usage restrictions apply for inductive applicat ions.  
[19] The power limit applies inside a closed tank and corresponds to a spectral density of -41,3 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. outside a 500 litre test tank. " 
[20] The medical data acquisition category covers the transmission of non -voice data to and from non -implantable medical devices fo r the purpose of monitoring, diagnosing 
and treating patients in healthcare facilities or patient's home.  
[21] PMR446 equipment is hand portable (no base station or repeater use) and uses integral antennas only in order to maximise  sharing and minimise int erference. PMR 446 
equipment operates in short range peer -to-peer mode and shall be used neither as a part of infrastructure network nor as a repeater;  
[22] An alarm system is a device which uses radio communication support for indicating an alert to a system or a person, as a main functionnality, at a distant location when a 
problem or a specific situation occurs. Radio alarms include social alarms and alarms for security and safety.   31   [23] Medical Body Area Network Systems (MBANSs), used for medical data  acquisition, are intended to be used in healthcare facilities and patients' homes. They are low 
power radio systems used for the transmission of non -voice data to and from medical devices for the purposes of monitoring, diagnosing and treating patients as  prescribed 
by duly authorised healthcare professionals and are defined in the context of medical applications only;  
[24]Member States can specify exclusion zones or equivalent measures in which the obstacle detection application for rotorcra ft use shall n ot be used for the protection of the 
radioastronomy service or other national use. Rotorcraft is defined as EASA CS -27 and CS -29 (resp. JAR -27 and JAR -29 for former certifications);
