E-Band and V-Band - Survey on status of worldwide regulation

Figure 11: Emissions limitation (ETSI EN 302 217-3) for the 71-76 and 81-86 GHz band
According to our survey, in few European countries (#8), the 71-74 GHz and 81-84 GHz bands are
considered as military bands for defence systems, and for this reason today not available for civil use. In
others countries it has been recognized that these bands can be shared between civil and military users
according to national requirements and legislation.
A lot of administrations, also outside Europe (e.g. Canada and Japan) are today adopting the frequency
arrangement for E-Band as per the CEPT-recommended band plan, option 2, comprised of 250 MHz
channels with 125 MHz guard-bands on either end of the bands and with the flexibility of channel
aggregation within the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz bands, to support higher capacities when necessary.
Disregarding some details, we can assume that emissions limits in both FCC and CEPT/ECC areas are
quite similar.
It is worth mentioning that ECC has no mandate to harmonize options for licensing procedures and fees;
they remain under the full responsibility of each national government.
ITU-R
In 2012 ITU-R published Recommendation F.2006 [11] that mostly reprints the options provided by
ECC/REC(05)07 described above adding also the option of possible block assignment.
Here is a comparison table taken from [9].
