Preface
This second issue, Issue 2 of RSS-213 replaces Issue 1 (provisional)
of RSS-213 dated August 24, 1999.
RSS-213, Issue 2 must be used in conjunction with RSS-Gen, General
Requirements and Information for the Certification of
Radiocommunication Equipment, for general specification and
information relevant to the equipment for which this Standard applies.
This new version will be in force as of the publication date of notice SMSE-014-05
in the Canada Gazette. Upon publication, the public has 90 days to
make comments. These comments will be taken into account in the preparation
of the next version of the document.
The following are the main changes:
-
General reformatting, editorial changes and updating to reflect the
current practice and that material common to most RSSs has been
moved to RSS-Gen.
-
The standard now applies only to the 1920-1930 MHz band, as the
1910-1920 MHz band is no longer available for licence-exempt
personal communications services operation.
-
Both isochronous and asynchronous devices are now permitted in the
band 1920-1930 MHz.
-
Specific requirements for isochronous operation in the 1920-1930 MHz
band no longer apply.
-
The channellization of the 1920-1930 MHz band into eight 1.25 MHz
channels has been eliminated. The band now is unchannellized, with
occupied bandwidths of between 50 kHz and 2.5 MHz
permitted.
-
Unwanted emissions within the 1920-1930 MHz band are no longer
referenced to 1.25 MHz channels, but to band edges and occupied
bandwidth.
-
All references to 1.25 MHz channellization in requirements to
verify access protocols for the 1920-1930 MHz band have been
eliminated and replaced with appropriate changes.
-
The limits of AC line conducted emissions have been changed to
harmonize with CISPR and FCC limits. (The actual limits have been
moved to RSS-Gen.)
-
The spurious emission limit (using the radiated measurement method)
for receivers at frequencies above 1610 MHz has been abolished. The
960-1610 MHz limit is now applicable to all receiver spurious
emissions at frequencies above 960 MHz as per RSS-Gen. (The actual
limits have been moved to RSS-Gen.)
-
The requirement for occupied bandwidth has been changed from the
26 dB bandwidth to the 20 dB bandwidth.
-
The requirement for coordinatable (non-nomadic) devices to meet
Location Verification Process criteria and coordination by the
licence-exempt PCS Industry Advisory Group (IAG) has been removed.
Both coordinatable (non-nomadic) and non-coordinatable (nomadic)
devices can be certified under this Standard.
Issued under the authority of
the Minister of Industry
