E-Band and V-Band - Survey on status of worldwide regulation
16
The following figure depicts the most popular segments for these bands, as reported in our survey.
Figure 6: Band fragmentation in 57-66 GHz & numbers of cases reported
A summary of the licensing and duplex situation for the old bands and the new wide continuous bands is
given in Figure 7 and Figure 8.
The dominant duplex arrangement is allowing both FDD and TDD, but in the old 57-59 GHz band there
are also some cases were only TDD is allowed.
Contrary to common belief, licensing is more common than licence exempt (unlicensed). However, for
the new wide continuous bands unlicensed is almost as common as licensed. Unlicensed is also quite
common in the old 57-59 GHz band, while licensed dominates in the old 64-66 GHz band.
