Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: Comsearch, Inc., in conjunction with Saraband Wireless, Inc., of Fairfax Virginia, is carrying out a National Science Foundation research project to develop a channel calibration device for use initially in the MMDS/ITFS bands, and later for use in other licensed and unlicensed bands under 5 GHz. The NSF award grant number is 0128515, a description of this award can found at the following web site: http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/servlet/showaward?award=0128515. When operational, the device will be useful for wireless LANs and long-range wireless Internet delivery systems. The reason for the STA request is to perform outdoor experiments between the Comsearch location in Ashburn Virginia and selected locations up to 20 miles away. In particular, the test needs to determine if the measurement technique works in a variety of path environments such as wooded, hills, blockage by buildings, stationary versus low-speed mobile, line of sight versus beyond line of sight.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Testing of a channel calibration device in a variety of path environments.
