Phone Number: (210) 681-8208

Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
MIL-STD-188-125 Volume 1 and 2 require a Continuous Wave Immersion (CWI) test. CWI testing requires illuminating a test object with RF energy over a frequency range from 100kHz to 1GHz. The attached supplemental information paper describes the process in much more detail. We plan to radiate with a 100 W power amplifier and an 8dBi (max) antenna system. Therefore our peak power and Effective Radiated Power will be substantial enough the we believe that an STA is necessary.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Perform RF field mapping experiments in an outdoor environment to characterize the uniformity and levels of the EM fields emitted from our CWI antenna system. We will then take CWI measurements of commercial, off-the-shelf electronic devices. Please see attached supplemental information paper for details.

Certification

Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.

Is a directional antenna (other than radar) used? Yes
Exhibit submitted: Yes
(a) Width of beam in degrees at the half-power point: 68.00
(b) Orientation in horizontal plane:
(c) Orientation in vertical plane:
Will the antenna extend more than 6 meters above the ground, or if mounted on an existing building, will it extend more than 6 meters above the building, or will the proposed antenna be mounted on an existing structure other than a building? Yes
(a) Overall height above ground to tip of antenna in meters: 17.00
(b) Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters: 1265.00
(c) Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers: 44.73
(d) List any natural formations of existing man-made structures (hills, trees, water tanks, towers, etc.) which, in the opinion of the applicant, would tend to shield the antenna from aircraft: We intend to transmit in multiple or all compass directions, either level or downwards-facing. Organ Peak lies 9.34 km away from the site, on a direct line of sight to Las Cruces airport
