8. Description

XM Radio Inc. (XM) requests special temporary authority for 30 days to conduct a limited In−Orbit
Test of XM−1 (Call Sign S2118), which currently operates as an in−orbit spare, and take EIRP
measurements of the payload of that satellite. The testing will not cause interference to XM or
other satellite operators. The specific frequency for testing will be 2338.75 MHz, which is at
the center of XM’s licensed spectrum and normally used by terrestrial repeaters. The transponders
will be operated at saturation (approximately 70 dBW). The test transmissions from XM−1 will
comply with all power flux density restrictions applicable to XM’s current operating satellites,
XM−3 and XM−4. The testing is required to assess the performance of the XM system and the state
of health of the XM−1 payload. The emissions designators for the test transmission for the test
signals are 1M84G1EDW and N.
