Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The purpose of this request for a Special Temporary Authorization is to perform low power measurements on radar systems or parts of radar systems, outside of a shielded anechoic chamber, in order to meet internal and external customer commitments.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

To perform measurements on various radar systems Frequency authorization for 5.1 – 5.6 GHz and 5.65 to 6.0 GHz band (C-Band) is being requested for the period of September 23 2013 to January 23 2014. The authorization will be used to perform measurements on various radar systems at different stages of design, development, and manufacture at a Raytheon facility. These measurements may include calibration, evaluation, verification, and integration type tests. The intent of the project is the demonstrate a low cost, easily re-configurable radar using a software defined radio and commercial off the shelf parts. Test Summary: Transmit measurements will be made at low power using a directional antenna. These measurements will be in the operating frequency range of 5.1 to 5.6 GHz and 5.65 to 6.0 GHz. These measurements will require transmission of pulsed CW waveforms. The pulse duration range from 0.1 μsec to 12.8μsec and the maximum duty factor is 50%. These transmissions will occur between the radar antenna and local objects. It is expected that the radar will be operated 24 hours a day, seven days per week for up to 6 times per year. See Attachment 1 Prototype Radar Test Parameters for an overhead view of the site.

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.
