a) Description of the nature of the research project being conducted
Government Systems Corporation seeks operating authority for transmission and receiving
equipment with two 2.4 m VSAT Ku—band antennas, one fixed and one mobile (though operated
next to the building with the fixed antennas on the roof) and up to five 1.8 m VSAT fixed
antennas, located at Mountain View, California, with a Ku—band transponder on Spacenet 3. The
first two 1.8 m VSAT antennas will be operated as one network with the fixed 2.4 m VSAT as a
hub, with the later addition of three more 1.8 m VSAT antennas as a second network, sharing the
hub. The exact frequencies will be determined when the lease is negotiated and finalized. The
system will be used in support of research and development of modern communication systems,
signals (waveforms) and techniques. The waveforms will be direct sequence spread spectrum
transmission of voice, digitized voice or pseudorandom data sequences for link performance
measurements. The information data rate will be less than or equal to 19.2 kbps, which when
BPSK modulated and spread by pseudorandom data sequence(s) will result in either BPSK or
QPSK modulated channel symbols (chips) at chip rates between 500 Keps and 2 Mcps. The
testing will consist of a series of "loop—back" tests which will demonstrate and verify the
performance of the communication ability of the waveform(s). The testing is expected to occur in
short bursts of activity spread over six months starting as early as mid to late May 1996.

b) A showing that communications facilities requested are necessary for the project
   involved.
The tests are designed to show the performance of the test waveforms over satellite channels
using 1.8 m as well as 2.4 m Ku—band VSAT antennas. Also, the use of a single 2.4 m antenna
as a hub for one or more 1.8 m VSAT networks will be tested.

c) A showing that existing communications facilities are inadequate
New 2.4 m and 1.8 m VSAT antennas are required to provide the necessary networking facilities
at Ku—band. As GTE believes the research indicated here is in the interest of the developing
telecommunications art, particularly as an alternate for specialized Government satellite systems,
it is in the interest of the Government to allow GTE to perform this test .

®   The contract number is MDA904—96—C—P103. GTE is currently leasing from GE
    Americom and using 1MHz of bandwidth on SPACENET3, transponder 19. Transmit
    freq. is 14029.5 GHz and receive is 11729.5 GHz. On Nov.1 of this year we will add a
    second MHz of leased space bringing us up to 2MHz total centered on 14029.0 transmit   18 *°
    and 11729.0 receive. The customer is a member of DOD and the work being done is
    centered on testing commercial VSAT systems for possible future inclusion in larger
    GTE supplied DOD programs.
