Footnotes:

  1. TV Whitespace covers just the unused frequency bands between channels spanning this frequency band (UHF and VHF TV channels).

  2. BW of 775 MHz for U-NII-1 to U-NII-4. U-NII-1=5.15-5.25 GHz; U-NII-2A=5.25-5.35 GHz; U-NII-2B=5.35-5.47 GHz; U-NII-2C=5.47-5.725 GHz; U-NII-3=5.725-5.85 GHz; U-NII-4 = 5.85 - 5.925 GHz (DSRC/ITS/C-V2X = 5.895-5.925 GHz).

  3. 1.2 GHz Bandwidth for U-NII-5 to U-NII-8. U-NII-5=5.925-6.425 GHz; U-NII-6=6.425-6.525 GHz; U-NII-7=6.525-6.875 GHz; U-NII-8=6.875-7.125 GHz.

  4. 47 CFR § 97.303 authorizes amateur radio operators to transmit at 5.65-5.725 GHz. 

  5. Although the 60 GHz band is global, the 57-71 GHz is U.S.-specific. Other jurisdictions have different ranges, typically up to 64 or 66 GHz.
