Applicant 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.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Raytheon IIS is requesting a STA for experimental testing not lasting longer than six months. If testing is required after the six month period we will submit for an FCC Experimental License.

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Our CONOP is to test using KA band VSAT dishes with a simulator with transmission between 30 and 31 GHz that were developed by Tampa Microwave. We want to set them up on the roof and test various scenarios. Test 1: In this scenario, two standard horn antennas are connected to a Ka VSAT emulator. One antenna is vertical, the other is horizontal. We will transmit on the vertical plane at no greater than 1 Watt EIRP from there to about 50-100 feet away to a bidirectional VSAT terminal. Dynamic range measurements would be taken using three different size VSAT dishes. The dish diameters will be 65, 75, and 85cm. The VSAT terminal will transmit with no more than 0.22W EIRP back to the simulator. This is being done to verify that operators can reassemble the antennas with accuracy. Careful consideration is taken to make sure the signal power and direction are minimal using built in and external attenuators. Test 2: In this scenario, a VSAT terminal will be used to transmit/receive to a live satellite in the Ka band using an existing satellite commercial lease (non experimental). This link will be with a 5W BUC 46.5dBi gain, with 1.1 degrees half power beam width.
