and construction does not actually result from the inspection; the intended purpose of the operation of the
UWB device is to determine if construction is required. We also believe that the GPRs and wall imaging
systems may be operated for one of the purposes described in the regulations but need not be operated
directly by one of the described parties. For example, a GPR may be operated by a private company
investigating forensic evidence for a local police department.
FCC Permitted Mode of Usage
The GPR antenna must be kept on the surface to be in compliance with FCC regulations. Use of the
antenna is not permitted if it is lifted off the surface. Use as a through-the-wall imaging device is prohib-
ited.
GPR Use Coordination
FCC regulation 15.525(c) requires users of GPR equipment to coordinate the use of their GPR equipment
as described below:
a) UWB imaging systems require coordination through the FCC before the
equipment may be used. The operator shall comply with any constraints on
equipment usage resulting from this coordination.
b) The users of UWB imaging devices shall supply operational areas to the FCC
Office of Engineering and Technology, which shall coordinate this information
with the Federal Government through the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration. The information provided by the UWB operator
shall include the name, address, and other pertinent contact information of the
user, the desired geographical area(s) of operation, and the FCC ID number
and other nomenclature of the UWB device. If the imaging device is intended
to be used for mobile applications, the geographical area(s) of operation may
be the state(s) or county(ies) in which the equipment will be operated. The
operator of an imaging system used for fixed operation shall supply a specific
geographical location or the address at which the equipment will be operated.
This material shall be submitted to the following address:
