Abstract: Part 15 rules require operators of the Ultra Wideband (UWB) imaging systems to coordinate with other Federal agencies via the FCC before the UWB equipment can be used. UWB operators are required to comply with any constraints on equipment usage resulting from this coordination. In addition, the users of UWB imaging devices shall supply detailed operational areas to the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) that shall coordinate this information with the Federal Government through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The information will be used to coordinate the operation of the Ultra Wideband (UWB) transmission systems to avoid interference with sensitive U.S. government radio systems. Initial operation in a particular area may not commence until authorization has been received from the Commission.
