Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
A STA is necessary due to a short development and test period. The test will be accomplished at a low power to do initial validation of the test system.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The Special Temporary Authority is for an LTE emulation transmitter test in Aerospace facility. The LTE emulation transmitter test will prepare the Aerospace Corporation to understand cellular use impact on the services that utilize the frequency band from 1695 to 1710 MHz. This test will validate Aerospace’s capability to assess the impact of cellular migration into the pre-defined AWS-3 coordination zones. This test will include a LTE-like transmitter mounted to a vehicle which will function as a low power of base station. The cellular standards – the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) defined Band 70 where 1695 to 1710 MHz is uplink for user use and 1995 – 2020 MHz (AWS-3 spectrum) is downlink as a pairing downlink frequency band. We will use both the 1995 – 2020 MHz and 1695-1710 MHz to transmit signals. The test will be accomplished at low power levels (EIRP less than 0 dBm for 1995-2020 MHz and EIRP less than 20 dBm for 1695-1710 MHz). The reason for the low power is that the purpose of this test is to evaluate the ability to detect and classify potential interferers under realistic conditions and not to produce a signal for demodulation at a receiver. The test will be performed at the Aerospace Corporations El Segundo Campus and will greatly enhance our understanding of the system and improve the equipment for future testing. Note that, the transmitter, although vehicle mounted, will be stationary during its transmissions.

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.
