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. Please see attached supplemental information paper for details.

Is a directional antenna (other than radar) used? Yes
Exhibit submitted: No
(a) Width of beam in degrees at the half-power point: 68.00
(b) Orientation in horizontal plane: 240.00
(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
