Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Performance measurements and testing for new ground-to -air antennas in the 2.4 GHz ISM band from a fixed ground tower to a mobile aircraft at 10,000 ft. Power conducted to all antennas will be compliant at 1 Watt maximum. EIRP for the ground station and from the aircraft may be up to 6 dB above the 47CFR15.247 EIRP limits. This STA is requested to permit exceeding the 1dB per 3dBi conducted power backoff requirement per 47CFR15.214(c)(1)(i) for the ground and the normal 1dB per 1dBi for the air during testing.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Performance measurements and testing for new ground-to-air antennas in the 2.4 GHz band from a fixed ground tower to a mobile aircraft. The purpose of this test is to measure the antenna patterns and RF propagation in order to demonstrate acceptable performance. One ground site will be used to transmit a fixed narrow beamwidth using a smart antenna to automatically track an aircraft. This test is to measure and record signal strengths on an airborne receiver platform, and to demonstrate antenna performance. The transmit signal has a narrow beamwidth and is designed to be invisible to ground Wi-Fi devices operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band (2400 to 2483 MHz). RF power incident on the ground from both systems is not expected to exceed normal ‘background’ interference levels on the ground. Actual transmitting times will be limited to several hours per day over a 3-4 day period. The transmitter equipment and site will be manned by engineering personnel at all times the equipment is operating.

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.
