Is 77G-81GHz freq band free of license for mmwave radar?

Hi, Gurus,
In Bosch mmwave radar FCC-ID report on MRRevo14F NF3, its freq band is 76-77GHz.
But in Bosch datasheet on 3QF, with the same ID, i.e. MRRevo14F, it syas the antenna gain is 23dBi.
There is 2 TX antennas in 3QF, I guess one is for far field with 76-77G, and the other is for near field with 77-81G.
But there is no 77-81GHz info on the FCC report.
I checked ITU-R standard on 76-81G, and it says 77-81G antenna gain is 23dBi.
So I guess 3QF should use 77-81G for near field, although there is no 77-81G info in FCC report.
Maybe the report is earlier than the 77-81G standard, or 77-81G is free license?
Right?
Attachment R-REC... is the ITU standard.
Attachment en_302264... is the ETSI standard.
Attachement MRRevo14F is the radar spec.
And the antennas picture.
Best,
Tony Liu

With the given antennas from the Bosch circuit, it is practically impossible to have the same 23dBi gain in both, long range (76-77GHz) and low range (77-81GHz).
I think the 23dBi TX gain (ITU-R, page 4) is just a maximum recommended antenna gain (as the name of the document is: Recommendation ITU-R).

The 10dBi antenna gain for short range radar, that is shown on TR 103 593 (from FvM) Table C.1, make more sense.

Some manufacturers, use for long range TX antennas 3 raw of a series fed array, and for short range use only one raw of a series fed array (from the same array). In this way, in short range, the gain of the antenna will be lower and beamwidth wider.
