Special Temporary Authority application - Information
Callsign:
WE9XCW
Class of Station:
FX
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Raytheon Largo will use a laboratory test equipment signal source to conduct antenna pattern testing and make antenna gain measurements for deliverable ESAs. The operation will include the following: Station Location ? Largo (Pinellas), FL; North Lat. 27-51-55; West Long. 82-46-57 Station Radiated Signal Characteristics ? Authorized Power 100 mW (ERP) ? Emission Designator ? NON (CW) Airports in near vicinity of and Largo stations ? Tampa International Airport with beacon interrogator (assumed and approximately 15 nmi from Largo station). ? St. Petersburg International Airport (no beacon interrogator and approximately 7.5 nmi form Largo station) Beacon systems at and Tampa airports characteristics ? Antenna gain = +21 dBi (per FAA-E-2660, 5 foot OPA array) ? Transmit power at antenna = 500 Watts peak (assumed, includes 3 dB cable and network losses to interrogator) Station source antenna (line array) characteristics ? Elevation beamwidth = 5.5° at 1060 MHz and 5.2° at 1090 ? Azimuth beamwidth = 60° ? Gain = +12.98 dBi @ 1060 MHz and +13.22 dBi @ 1090 MHz (Gain was calculated using calculated directivity less measured feed network losses) Target Aircraft Transponder characteristics: ? Transponder sensitivity = -77 dBm ? Transponder antenna gain = +1 dBi ? Aircraft cable losses = 3 dB
