                  11.7-12.2 GHz Experimental License Application

1 Introduction
Qualcomm's technologies powered the smartphone revolution and connected billions of people. We
pioneered 3G and 4G – and now we are leading the way to 5G and a new era of intelligent, connected
devices. Our products are revolutionizing industries, including automotive, computing, IoT, healthcare and
data center, and are allowing millions of devices to connect with each other in ways never before
imagined. Qualcomm Incorporated includes our licensing business, QTL, and the vast majority of our
patent portfolio. Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, operates, along
with its subsidiaries, all of our engineering, research and development functions, and all of our products
and services businesses, including, our QCT semiconductor business. For more information, visit
Qualcomm’s website, OnQ blog, Twitter and Facebook pages.

Qualcomm is conducting limited antenna pattern testing of satellite antennas designed for use in the 11.7-
12.2 GHz frequency range. The antenna testing requires a large separation distance to gather far field
data due to the frequencies and antenna aperture size and cannot be completed in Qualcomm anechoic
chamber.

Qualcomm completed initial testing under STA call sign WK9XXU but has determined that additional
testing will be required at different times over the next year. Qualcomm respectfully requests the
Commission to grant an experimental license to enable Qualcomm to continue these important antenna
characterization measurements when needed.


2 Transmitter Information
The transmitter will only be operational during periodic times during the day or week. Qualcomm
anticipates a frequency will be active for measurement periods of 10-30 minutes when testing is active.

A small horn antenna, with a selected pattern to minimize interference, mounted and pointed so as to use
the building structure to provide additional shielding to back-lobes is shown in figure 1 and 2. Table 1
defines the transmitter information and Table 2 defines the site location.

A single, low-power continuous wave form (“CW”), measurement signal will be transmitted from the site
defined in Table 2 at a fixed orientation. In accordance with the FCC conditions of the current STA call
sign WK9XXU, Qualcomm will continue to coordinate the test frequencies with IBFS-licensed earth
stations within a 5kms radius, of which there are currently two operators, and will continue to notify
licenses within a 15kms radius 5 business days before tests commence.

The equipment under test (“EUT”) is a receive antenna that is located on another building as shown in
Figure 2. The receive antenna’s orientation is moved in a process to evaluate the antenna pattern. As
described earlier, different fixed frequencies will be tested at different times to profile the antenna
response versus frequency.
