submitted by an applicant under rule 4.
2. If such information is not contained in the technical details submitted under rule 4, the following
formula shall be used:
(a) For a non-FM radar: BN = 1.79/√t ∗ tr or 6.36/t ; whichever is less
(b) For FM pulse radar: BN = 1.79/√t ∗ tr + 2Bc
(c) For FM pulse radar (with frequency hopping): BN = 1.79/√t ∗ tr + 2Bc;
(d) For frequency hopping radars using non-FM pulses (including spread spectrum or coded pulses):
BN = 1.79/√t ∗ tr + Bs;
(e) For FM/CW radars: BN = 2Bd;
Where:
BN = necessary bandwidth in MHz;
Bc = bandwidth of the frequency deviation (the total frequency shift during the pulse duration) in MHz;
Bd = bandwidth of the frequency deviation (peak difference between instantaneous frequency of the
modulated wave and the carrier frequency for FM/CW radar systems) in MHz;
Bs = maximum range in MHz over which the carrier frequency will be shifted for a frequency hopping
radar;
t = emitted pulse duration in µ sec at 50% amplitude (voltage) points. For coded pulses, the pulse
duration is the interval between 50% amplitude points of one chip (sub-pulse). The 100% amplitude is
the nominal flat top level of the pulse;
tr = emitted pulse rise time in µ sec from the 10% to the 90% amplitude points on the leading edge. For
coded pulse, it is the rise time of a sub-pulse; if the sub-pulse rise time is not discernible, assume it is
40% of the time to switch from one phase or sub-pulse to the next;
FM Radar = Frequency Modulated Radar;
CW Radar = Continuous Wave Radar.

price.
Explanation—For the purposes of this Annexure, the expression “market price” shall mean the reserve
price or the price of access spectrum, determined through auction held pursuant to the last NIA
published prior to the effective date of spectrum assignment, whichever is higher:
Provided that where such auction was held more than twelve months prior to the effective date of
spectrum assignment, such reserve price or price determined under the auction, as the case may be,
shall be arrived at by using the relevant marginal cost of funds based lending rate (MCLR) of the State

than 100 mW, is exempt from the requirement of assignment of spectrum.
(iv) An assignee undertaking experimentation shall ensure that the associated technologies,
products, processes or business models undergoing experimentation, shall not be made
commercially available in the market during the period of such experimentation.
(v) An assignee undertaking experimentation shall ensure that there shall be no communication

country outside India, without the prior approval of the Central Government in this regard.
(vi) On completion of experimentation, the assignee shall submit a report to the Central
Government containing the outcome and creation of any intellectual property rights as a result
of such experiment.

demonstration for sale, at specified locations, for a limited duration, without the provision of
any telecommunication service or without any generation of revenue.
(ii) The assignment of spectrum in respect of demonstration shall be made for outdoor
environment, in radiating mode, where EIRP is more than 100 mW.
(iii) Demonstration in indoor and outdoor environment, in radiating mode, where EIRP is less than
100 mW, is exempt from the requirement of assignment of spectrum.
