Purpose of Operation:
Raytheon is requesting an FCC experimental license to conduct installation and
checkout of an IFF Interrogator under development for an Air Force customer. These
test activities include the initial integration of subsystems with the Systems Integration
Laboratory equipment and confirming functionality of the secondary surveillance radar
by verifying the ability to send and receive IFF signals.

FAA coordination for this test effort has been requested, which may include restrictions
on permitted modes, RF output power, or hours of operation.

Technical Synopsis:
    Spectrum needed: 1030 MHz and 1090 MHz
    Power levels requested (ERP): To be specified by FAA; 75 kW maximum at 1030
     MHz (attenuation can be applied if required), 15.3 W maximum at 1090 MHz
    Permitted Modes: To be specified by FAA
    Location of use: Raytheon Facility in Andover, MA (coordinates 42º 38’ 16” N,
     071º11’ 18” W)
    Direction of radiation: 251º ± 10º (IFF) and 71º ±10º (IFF-45TS) relative to true
     north
    Stop buzzer contact: Kirk Fisher, office 978-470-4244, mobile 978-302-0770

Test Summary:
The IFF is mounted to the top of the primary radar’s Array Subsystem. The array will be
stationary during all testing. The IFF antenna will transmit to and receive from a horn
antenna connected to an Aeroflex Test Set (IFF-45TS) located approximately 20-50 feet
away. The ERP from the IFF-45TS is much lower than the Interrogator on the radar.
