Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The purpose of this request for Special Temporary Authorization is to test array compliance to RF performance requirements in a relevant environment. Radar development testing is planned at the Raytheon facility in Marlborough, MA.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

To test prototype radar arrays in a relevant environment. Frequency authorization is being requested for the period of August 1, 2016 - January 23, 2017 in X-band at frequencies between 9.55-9.65 GHz, in order to test prototype radar arrays in a relevant environment. Outdoor testing, across multiple frequencies as noted above is required to assess hardware compliance with requirements and to continue research and development. Up to two units will be tested over this range simultaneously. Technical Synopsis: Spectrum needed: 9.55-9.65 GHz. Power levels requested: 160 W output power, 953.4 kW ERP (peak) • Location of use: Raytheon Test Facility in Marlborough, MA . Direction of radiation: - Antenna 1: North West (boresite 343 DEG) - Antenna 2: North East (boresite 73 DEG) - Each antenna has a +/- 45º scan angle . Stop buzzer contacts: Robert Palumbo (978-376-7321), Nate Miller (507-421-9830), and Rene Messier (774-696-3634)
