Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Test and experiment capability of QNT L-Band and C-Band transmitters to perform radio frequency direction finding (RFDF) using two sets of QNT L-Band / C-Band transmitters, networked via RF, to process geolocation of a third emitter (handie-talkie) operating in the unlicensed UHF spectrum. C-Band used for operator (chat) coordination. L-Band 16-channel tuning range: Band 1 = 1763.167 MHz - 1841.833 MHz; Band 2 = 1443.167 MHz to 1509.833 MHz; Band 3 = 1358.167 MHz to 1384.833 MHz. Emission designator: 14M6G1D. Can operate in non-frequency (NH) or frequency hopped (FH) on single channel or all the channels. Initial contact is established at 25 watts, and then reduced to the minimum level required to maintain reliable communications, in 2dB steps from full scale to -30 dB (25W down to 25mW). In addition, recognize that Band 3 1384.833 MHz emission extend over the band edge and this frequency is expected to be used very little (channeling is under software control. C-Band (4.4 GHz to 4.9 GHz); Emission designator: 18M5F9W; system can operate NH on any single assigned center frequency or FH on any number of assigned center frequency.
