Comment on Low-cost 60GHZ phased array antennaparent

Ish in the UK, see http://static.ofcom.org.uk/static/spectrum/fat.html

Some ranges are usable for Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM), and there are exempt low power devices although I leave it as an exercise to the reader to find out which:

For example:

IR2030/7/2, wideband transmission systems that are not fixed can be used up to 40dBm between 57-71GHz. Fixed systems are allowed, but not within 6km of certain sites. You can also use it for tank probing radar under various situations. One of them is MOD Hebrides which is a large closed area for weapon system testing, another is Castlemartin training area, and another near Luffenham (no idea about that one). Presumably it interferes with military radios and at least two of those sites are used with live ammunition, so probably it's a safety thing.
