(EMS) hereby notifies the Federal Aviation Administration of its filing with the FCC of an application for certification of the HSD-MK2 and HSD-MK3 Aeronautical Earth Station Satellite Communications Transceiver models referenced above. Please find below the information required pursuant to Part 87.147(d)(1). f ) Description of Equipment The EMS HSD-MK2 and HSD-MK3 Aeronautical Earth Station (AES) satellite communication transceivers support the lnmarsat Classic-Aero H+, Swift64, and SwiftBroadband aeronautical satellite communications services. These transceivers meet the applicable requirements of RTCA/DO-210D "Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Geosynchronous Orbit Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Services (AMSS) Avionics". Both the HSD-MK2 and the HSD-MK3 are product derivatives of the FCC authorized and FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO C-132) authorized HSD440. The HSD-MK2 transceiver replaces one of the HSD-440 channel cards with a version that provides two lnmarsat Aero H+ voice channels versus one. The HSD-MK3 transceiver replaces the other HSD-440 channelcard with a version that provides multiple lnmarsat services on the same circuit card assembly. The following provides a brief description of the HSD-MK2 and HSD-MK3 transceivers. When used, the abbreviation HSD refers to either model of transceiver. Where distinction is necessary, the appropriate model name is used. The EMS HSD is the transceiver of an Aeronautical Earth Station (AES) which incorporates the satellite data unit and the high power amplifier functions of the AES. The SDU is packaged in an eight Modular Concept Unit (8-MCU) enclosure as defined in ARINC Specification 600. The SDU contains 2 channel card circuit card assemblies (CCA), a data inpuVoutput CCA, a control processor CCA, an RF inpuVoutput module, an RF power amplifier, a multi-voltage output power supply, and interconnection wiring. The channel cards provide the interfaces between the user voice or data and the lnmarsat L-band satellite signal. Multiple L-band signals are produced on each channel card. The HSD-MK2 and HSD-MK3 ditfer in the type and capability of channel card used. The data inpuUoutput CCA provides the interface between user data and voice circuits, and the channel cards. The control processor CCA provides the interface to the aircraft and controls the overall operation of the AES. The RF inpuUoutput module combines the L-band signals from the channel cards and distributes the receive signal from the AES diplexer/low noíse amplifier. The power amplifier provides the high power RF signal gain with a nominal maximum output power of 60 watts.
