2 Experiment Overview
Qualcomm is conducting research into radar technologies for use in vehicular applications. This
license is required as the planned experiments require customized hardware restricted to the
frequency range of 57-71 GHz.

The goal of these experiments is not to develop the 57-71 GHz band for application in automotive
applications, but instead to use RF equipment that operates in this unlicensed band to develop
radar applications that will operate in other bands and be designed to improve roadway safety
and save lives. To be clear, commercial application of the radar technology developed via these
experiments will use different frequency bands that are allocated for vehicular applications.

The experimentation will include two vehicles equipped with an experimental 60 GHz radar
system installed on the first vehicle facing the front and/or rear of the second vehicle. The
vehicles will be parked or in motion in one of the two possible geographic areas:
    1) Within 2 km (1.3 miles) around Qualcomm buildings defined in Table 1
    2) Within 3 km (1.8 miles) around the coordinates in Table 1 that are not located near any
        commercial or public facilities.


3 Transmitter Information
Experimentation will be conducted in the immediate vicinity of the area described in Table 1 and
Figure 2. As described in Table 2, the frequency range used for the experiments will be 57-71
GHz with a transmission bandwidth of 1.76 GHz and 100% duty cycle when active.

Up to 2 vehicles outfitted with 60GHz radar transmitters may operate within the operational area.
The vehicles will be outfitted with a multi-element beamformed array using an EIRP of 41 dBm or
lesser.

Vehicular radar transmitters use a highly directional antenna to steer its beam at ground level for
measuring the reflection from other vehicles as shown in Figure 1. The scan parameters are
listed in Table 1. The radar antennas are physically small (i.e., diameter less than 15 cm) and will
be mounted to the body of the test vehicle, either in the front bumper, on the rear bumper, or on
the roof. The narrow beam mitigates the risk of interference to other devices while the radars are
active.
