Radio Equipment List (REL)

The Radio Equipment List (REL) is an Industry Canada publication,
listing radio equipment which has been certified for use in Canada.

Certification of radio equipment means that the equipment complies
with established Radio Standards Specifications requirements, in
accordance with Radio Standards Procedure. A Technical
Acceptance Certificate is issued accordingly. A licence to operate
the equipment, where applicable, is required separately and is granted
solely on the basis of the existing radio environment, type of service
and location of operation.

The frequency range of equipment approved under some specifications
may be beyond the frequency range of a specific application. Frequency
assignments are controlled by the Department through the licensing
process.

DESCRIPTION OF TECHNICAL TERMS

1. Occupied Bandwidth and Type of Emission - The necessary bandwidth
and type of emission is indicated as described by the International
Telecommunications Union (I.T.U.).

2. Power - The R.F. power output is indicated in various orders of
magnitude of the unit of Watt. For single-sideband suppressed carrier
emissions, the power is expressed as peak envelope power (PEP); for
single-sideband full carrier emissions, the power is expressed as
carrier power (one quarter of the PEP referred to above).

3. Frequency Range - This is the range of frequencies over which the
equipment is designed to operate and shows the low and high limits
respectively. Where only one frequency is indicated, that
particular equipment was certified to operate on a specific frequency.
The frequencies are indicated in various orders of magnitude of the unit Hertz.
