    1. Summary of Results
On behalf of Harris Corporation, Comsearch performed a coordination notice for all existing and
proposed terrestrial licenses within the coordination contour of their proposed Ka-Band earth
station at Schriever AFB, CO, transmitting at 28 GHz1. Prior notification letters were sent to the
licensees and a copy of the notification data is provided in section four of this report. The earth
station coordination was finalized on May 21, 2014.

No objections were received from any of the incumbent 28 GHz licensees. Our notification to
the LMDS incumbents was performed under the assumption that the earth stations would be
operating on a secondary basis to LMDS Block A operations and a contact at Harris Corporation
has been provided in case any concerns may arise in the future.


    2. 28 GHz Common Carrier and LTTS Coordination
In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, the Ka-Band earth station at Schriever AFB,
CO prior-coordinated by Comsearch. A notification letter and datasheet for this earth station
were sent to the following 28 GHz common carrier fixed microwave licensee on April 15, 2014.
This licensee is authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 – 29.5 GHz on a
nationwide basis.

A notification letter and datasheet for the Ka-Band earth station at Schriever AFB, CO were also
sent to the following 28 GHz local television transmission licensee on April 15, 2014. This
licensee is authorized to operate temporary fixed operations from 27.5 – 29.5 GHz on a
nationwide basis.

1. CONCLUSIONS




An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave
facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that
this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment.
Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations.

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS



A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of
the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective
on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS
TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal
levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case.
