Exhibit Documenting Eligibility for a Program Experimental License in Accordance with
47C.F.R.§5.302.

This experimental license application is for requesting eligibility to conduct distributed MIMO research at
University of Southern California – main campus with 3.3 to 3.7 GHz frequency and transmit
power less than 10 Watts.

The distributed MIMO experiments will be conducted by members of University of Southern California
– Wireless Devices and Systems Group (USC-WiDeS) led by Professor Andreas Molisch.
University of Southern California is an academic institution accredited by the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology. USC Electrical Engineering department, which will oversee this experiment,
has been accredited since 1942 to present, with next review year scheduled in 2021-2022. This may be
verified on ABET Webiste:
http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramsDetails.aspx?OrganizationID=107&ProgramIDs=

USC-WiDeS group has been actively pursuing research in wireless channel measurements and
modeling. Professor Andreas Molisch is the Principal Investigator, and two PhD students, Celalettin Umit
Bas and Thomas Choi, will conduct experiments under his guidance. Professor Andreas Molisch and
USC-WiDeS group’s expertise on radiofrequency experimentation and ability to manage wide
variety of research projects are shown through published papers from earlier experiments [1]-[5].

This experiment will require frequency between 3.3 GHz to 3.7 GHz for research reasons (high resolution
time domain data coming from wide bandwidth of 400 MHz), as well as hardware requirements. The
experiments will be conducted responsibly within University of Southern California’s main campus,
located on (153.061886, -26.718614), with campus size of 1.24643 km^2.
