4. Scope from PAR…(ref. 06-0340) November 2006
This project will define a standard or an amendment for short range, wireless communication in the vicinity of, or inside a human body*. It will use frequency bands approved for exclusive use in medical applications. Example of such bands are:
USA, EU, Japan, and others MHz frequency band on shared and secondary basis
EU:   MHz, Also used for radio astronomy, New Zealand:  MHZ
Wireless Medical Telemetry Band Plan of FCC:
MHz, also for radio astronomy and UHF TV
MHz
MHz, also used for non-medical telemetry
Wireless Medical Telemetry Band Plan of Japan:
Type A (BW < 8.5kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type B (8.5kHz < BW < 16kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type C (16kHz < BW < 32kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type D (32kHz < BW < 64kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
 Type E (64kHz < BW < 320kHz)
 Appointed bands between – MHz
Except for 430 – 440 MHz (for amateur radio)
* Not exclusive to humans but not including giraffes until 15.5 done
