Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The equipment in this trial consists of experimental UHF-band software-defined radio units designed and built by Skylark Wireless, LLC in meeting our obligations of an NSF SBIR Phase I Award #1520496. Since this equipment is NOT FCC licensed (it is experimental, under development, and not intended for commercial use), an FCC STA and manual operation with an FCC-certified spectrum database from either Google Inc. or Spectrum Bridge Inc is required for over-the-air operation.

FX
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The purpose of this operation is to perform wireless propagation experiments in a real, rural outdoor environment in fulfillment of Skylarks NSF SBIR Phase I Award #1520496. These experiments will serve to validate and inform the development of innovative new spectrally-efficient technologies for UHF-band unlicensed devices. A MIMO 16-antenna base station array will signal up to 4 mobile single-antenna terminals to transmit known signals for uplink channel estimation while moving around the coverage range of the base station. These traces will be recorded for offline processing. At all time, the individual array power will be controlled to limit EIRP to regulatory limits, taking into account beamforming gains.
