U.S. Radio Frequency Allocations from 30 MHz to 300 GHz

As with all bureaucracies, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules are changed all the time, so it behooves you to check the source for regulations on frequency allocations, power limits, modulation techniques, etc., prior to planning any serious production design or implementation. The responsibility is entirely yours to assure compliance.
