SUPPLEMENTARY DETAILS
520. Give a full detailed and specific description of your requirement for usage of this requested frequency and how you
intended to use it i.e, what, how when, where, mission, exercise, or test supporting, etc. Include FCC Type Acceptance
Number, Contract Number and Contractor. Include who this directly supports, ie Navy, FAA, DOE, Army, Air Force Unit,
ect.

The proposed tests will support phased array antenna testing research on Program 10236-23 for the
Department of Homeland Security. The approach will be to co-locate the receive antenna array with
the transmit antenna array and to record data on individual antenna elements in the receive array. The
transmit and receive antennas will be located indoors on the second floor of Pylon B at Building 1715.
The walls surrounding the test room is primarily concrete and Building 1715 is a metal structure, so RF
leakage should be negligible. The test data will be processed off-line to examine the beam forming
capabilities of the array and to form images of radar targets. This series of tests is the first testing of


                                        Frequency Request Authorization Worksheet


the design, and it is expected that multiple runs will be required to optimize the performance of the
array hardware and software.




530. If applicable, use to identify geographical area for operations i.e., transmitting in warning area xxx bounded by
coordinates XXxxXXNXXXxxXXW, etc.




531. If applicable use to include/exclude states for an area of
operation. Must be justified.
711. If this request is for aircraft, how high will it fly and what is the No aircraft are involved
radius of operation? Elevation in Ft and radius in Kilometers.
803. Provide requestors point of contact information e.g. name, phone number, office symbol.
