11  Protection requirements
 (1) Licensees who hold a 26 GHz band spectrum licence are to adhere to the provisions detailed in resolves 2.1 and 2.2 of ITU-R Resolution 242 (WRC-19) for deployments in the frequency range 25.1 GHz–27.5 GHz.
Note: In resolves 2.2 of ITU-R Resolution 242 (WRC-19), the term 'the direction of maximum radiation of any antenna', in relation to separation from the geostationary-satellite orbit, is taken to mean the maximum radiation from an antenna when the antenna is being electronically steered.

Operation in the 25.1 GHz to 27 GHz frequency range

 (2) A radiocommunications transmitter operated under a spectrum licence in the 26 GHz band that is:
(a) not an indoor transmitter;
(b) operating in the frequency range 25.1 GHz–27 GHz; and
(c) operating with a total radiated power greater than 40 dBm/200 MHz;
  must not:
(d) be connected to an antenna which has its highest gain directed above the horizontal plane when the antenna is not being electrically steered;
(e) direct its antenna beam via electrical steering to an elevation angle above the horizontal plane; or
(f) operate with a radiated maximum true mean power, measured over the specified bandwidth and in the direction of the geostationary orbit, exceeding the limits set out in Table 1;
   where:
  el is the angle above the horizontal plane at which the radiated maximum true mean power limit in Table 1 applies.

Operation in the 27 GHz to 27.5 GHz frequency range outside both inner-footprint and outer-footprint areas

 (3) A radiocommunications transmitter operated under a spectrum licence in the 26 GHz band that is:
(a) not an indoor transmitter;
(b) operating in the frequency range 27 GHz–27.5 GHz;
(c) not located inside an inner-footprint area or outer-footprint area; and
(d) operating with a total radiated power greater than 40 dBm/200 MHz;
  must not:
(e) be connected to an antenna which has its highest gain directed above the horizontal plane when the antenna is not being electrically steered;
(f) direct its antenna beam via electrical steering to an elevation angle above the horizontal plane; or
(g) operate with a radiated maximum true mean power, measured over the specified bandwidth and in the direction of the geostationary orbit, exceeding the limits set out in Table 2;
   where:
  el is the angle above the horizontal plane at which the radiated maximum true mean power limit in Table 2 applies.
