Phone Number: 719-302-3117

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
We will be conducting an RF coupling experiment over a broad range of frequencies. This requires illumination of a facility with low power RF signals and conducting measurements throughout to see how the signal propagates. This is a unique opportunity to test for nuclear survivability of critical grid infrastructure. This is only possible due to the DOD/DHS being allowed to test a power generation station that is being decommissioned. There is a small window of opportunity in which this is going to be allowed to occur and we would like to take advantage of this.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  RF coupling experiment over a broad range of frequencies. The testing will include a CW immersion of the site. The signal will be originated from a signal generator and amplified through a commercially available amplifier. The transmitting antennas is a combination loop and log-periodic to ensure proper illumination. A specific set of frequencies will be stepped through with an approximate dwell time of 40ms at each frequency. The specific transmitting frequency is narrow band an is not modulated. We try to identify the susceptibility of power systems through RF coupling to conductors running through the facility. This is to determine if the systems are at risk from lightning, solar sub-storms, or other possible threats.
