Abstract:
The objectives of this technical study are to define interference risks from operation of BPL systems under field strength limits and associated compliance measurement procedures specified in Part 15 of the Commissions rules, identify interference risk mitigation techniques that may be employed by BPL manufacturers and system operators and, if appropriate, recommend modifications to Part 15 provisions that will reduce the interference risks.
This Report contains two Volumes. Volume I presents the main text and Volume II contains appendixes that provide additional detail and backup information that is fully summarized in Volume I.
