As explained in the attached document, GE Healthcare proposes the following changes to the Draft Reports guidance on unwanted radiation measurement: (1) change the resolution bandwidth ("RBW") setting to 100 kHz to help detect spurious energy and free additional spectrum for Medical Body Area Network ("MBAN") use; (2) account for RBW filter roll-off in the test equipment specifications to help ensure consistent measurements; and (3) use 2359.5 MHz and 2400.5 MHz as the center frequencies to help avoid measuring in-band MBAN signals.
GE Healthcare also notes that we are coordinating with other stakeholders and anticipate addressing in a subsequent filing what the phrase "automatically cease" should mean in the context of Section 95.628 of the FCC's rules.

Joint Filing by the Aerospace and Flight Test Radio Coordinating Council (AFTRCC), GE Healthcare, and Philips Healthcare
MBAN devices may not operate outside the confines of a health care facility in the 2360-2390 MHz band under Section 95.1203 of the FCCs Rules. AFTRCC, GE Healthcare, and Philips Healthcare wish to inform the Commission staff that jointly they have under discussion the appropriate maximum time period within which to automatically cease all transmissions as used in Section 95.628(c) of the FCCs Rules when an MBAN device moves outside a health care facility. The joint parties intend to file a proposal with the Commission by January 22, 2016, for the Commission staffs consideration for application in the equipment authorization process.
