                                                                                    Exhibit 1


                             DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIMENT
Under this call sign, WH2XIC, Rockwell Collins, Inc. (“Rockwell Collins”) has been engaged in
conducting experiments, tests, and demonstrations of Wideband HF (“WBHF”) technology and
developmental products on airborne platforms, primarily for U.S. government applications. It
seeks to renew this experimental license with one frequency modification.
As with past experimentation, the airborne transmit platform will be used in the over-the-air
demonstrations and testing of WBHF data transmissions. The platforms may include fixed and
rotary wing aircraft operating in U.S. airspace at various altitudes and flight conditions, and
might fly over U.S. territory and up to 200 miles from shore over international waters.
The over-the-air demonstration and testing provides a real time verification of WBHF
communication performance. In addition, the airborne platform will demonstrate the use of 4G
ALE software to analyze signal propagation and then choose the best frequency of propagation
and the supporting modem data rate and bandwidth for high speed data communication.
Rockwell Collins requests the following frequencies for use in this experiment, subject to the
special conditions noted below the table. Other than changing the designated point of contact,
the special conditions remain the same as those under the existing experimental license.

Special Conditions:
(1) The station identification requirements of Section 5.115 of the Commissions' Rules are
     waived.
(2) In lieu of frequency tolerance, the occupied bandwidth of the emission shall not extend
     beyond the band limits set forth above.
(3) Licensee should be aware that other stations may be licensed on these frequencies and if
     any interference occurs, the licensee of this authorization will be subject to immediate shut
     down.
(4) The following frequency bands must be notched out:
          2495 - 2505 kHz
          19990 - 20010 kHz
(5) The designated point-of-contact to terminate transmissions if interference occurs is Mr. Joe
     Splean at (319) 295-6691.
