Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
L-3 builds TT&C communications antennas. We have been experiencing high passive intermodulation (PIM) distortion which causes transmitter noise to bleed into the receive band. We would like to perform factory PIM testing at our location. We need to radiate a CW signal at 2120 MHz with the antenna pointed at zenith away from the GEO arc. We will measure the receive subsystem PIM level.
