RF-8000E Operations Manual 

 

Chapter 1.  Overview — 5 

Licensing 

All owners of the RF-8000E should consult with the appropriate local and national agencies for 
information about licensing. 

US NTIA ID (note 1) 

RF-8000E, Doc. 36813/1, SPS – 16782/1 

US DOD MECB ID (note 1) 

RF-8000E, J/F 12/9185 

Emission Designator 

Booster, Repeater, Amplifier, or same as terminal 
radio 

Power Output 

0.03 ~ 0.7 Watts (per modulation and application) 

Frequency Range 

7700 ~ 8500 MHz 

Frequency Stability (note 2) 

Amplifier 

Modulating Frequency 

Dependant on terminal radio equipment 

 

Licensing Notes: 

1.  The RF-8000E series can be used with any 8-GHz FDD radio equipment. 

2.  The repeater does not have any frequency determining components; therefore, for administrative data, 

frequency stability is shown as amplifier. The actual frequency stability is a function of the associated 
end terminal radio equipment.
