Applicant 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.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The STA is necessary to make some measurements for a short-term (5 mo. total duration) sponsored research project that began on May 15, 2003 and will end Oct 15, 2003. Because of the short time-span of the project, there is not time for a regular FCC application.

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The purpose of the measurements is to determine a channel model that will be used in the dedicated short range communications (DSRC) standard, designated E 2213-02 by ASTM. Our sponsor is ARINC, Inc., which is coordinating the development of the standard for the U.S. Department of Transportation. The DSRC standard will govern mobile-to-mobile communications between automobiles for intelligent transportation applications. In the first part of the project, we used commercial Part 15 certified transmitter (i.e. an 802.11b access point) along with a ?sniffer? receiver to identify sites in the Atlanta area that have extremely long excess delay spreads. We need the STA to return to these sites to measure, using a custom-designed spread spectrum waveform, the Doppler-delay spectrum. We have designed our waveform to minimize interaction with 802.11b signals and to provide large spreading gain for our measurements. We will develop a model for the DSRC standard based on the Doppler-delay spectra that we measure. The model will be used in two ways, (1) to describe the channel in the standard document itself, and (2) as the basis for the design of the equipment certification test procedure. The bandwidth requested (40MHz) is necessary to allow us to resolve excess delays to an extent sufficient to model the channel for DSRC applications. The requested power (2.1 W ERP) is necessary to allow reception for the worst case scenarios where we expect extreme shadowing and long delays.
