§ 25.140 Further requirements for license applications for geostationary space
stations in the Fixed-Satellite Service and the 17/24 GHz
Broadcasting-Satellite Service.
(a) In addition to the information required by § 25.114, applicants for
geostationary-orbit FSS space stations must provide an interference analysis
to demonstrate the compatibility of their proposed system with respect to
authorized space stations within 2 degrees of any proposed satellite point
of communication. An applicant should provide details of its proposed radio
frequency carriers which it believes should be taken into account in this
analysis. At a minimum, the applicant must include, for each type of radio
frequency carrier, the link noise budget, modulation parameters, and overall
link performance analysis. (See Appendices B and C to Licensing of Space
Stations in the Domestic Fixed-Satellite Service, FCC 83-184, and the
following public notices, copies of which are available in the Commission's
EDOCS database: DA 03-3863 and DA 04-1708.)
(b) Each applicant for a license for a 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite
Service space station must provide the following information, in addition to
that required by § 25.114:
(1)-(2) [Reserved]
(3) Except as described in paragraph (b)(5) of this section, an applicant
for a license to operate a 17/24 GHz BSS space station that will be located
precisely at one of the 17/24 GHz BSS orbital locations specified in
Appendix F of the Report and Order adopted May 2, 2007, IB Docket No.
06-123, FCC 07-76, must provide an interference analysis of the kind
described in paragraph (a) of this section, except that the applicant must
demonstrate the compatibility of its proposed network with any current or
future authorized space station in the 17/24 GHz BSS that complies with the
technical rules in this part and that will be located at least four degrees
from the proposed space station.
(4) Except as described in paragraph (b)(5) of this section, an applicant
for a license to operate a 17/24 GHz BSS space station that will not be
located precisely at one of the nominal 17/24 GHz BSS orbital locations
specified in Appendix F of the Report and Order adopted May 2, 2007, IB
Docket No. 06-123, FCC 07-76, must make one of the following showings:
(i) In cases where there is no previously licensed or proposed space station
to be located closer than four degrees from the applicant's space station,
and the applicant seeks to operate pursuant to § 25.262(b) of this part, the
applicant must provide an interference analysis of the kind described in
paragraph (a) of this section, except that the applicant must demonstrate
the compatibility of its proposed network with any current or future
authorized space stations in the 17/24 GHz BSS that are operating in
compliance with the technical rules of this part and that will be located at
least four degrees from the applicant's proposed space station;
(ii) In cases where there is a previously licensed or proposed 17/24 GHz BSS
space station to be located within four degrees of the applicant's proposed
space station, the applicant must provide an interference analysis of the
kind described in paragraph (a) of this section, except that the applicant
must demonstrate that its proposed network will not cause more interference
to the adjacent 17/24 GHz BSS satellite networks operating in compliance
with the technical requirements of this part, than if the applicant were
located at the precise Appendix F orbital location from which it seeks to
offset;
(iii) In cases where there is no previously licensed or proposed 17/24 GHz
BSS space station to be located within four degrees of the applicant's
proposed space station, and the applicant does not seek to operate pursuant
to § 25.262(b) of this part, the applicant must provide an interference
analysis of the kind described in paragraph (a) of this section, except that
the applicant must demonstrate that its proposed operations will not cause
more interference to any current or future 17/24 GHz BSS satellite networks
operating in compliance with the technical requirements of this part, than
if the applicant were located at the precise Appendix F orbital location
from which it seeks to offset.
(5) An applicant for a license to operate a 17/24 GHz BSS space station, in
cases where there is a previously licensed or proposed space station
operating pursuant to § 25.262(b) of this part located within four degrees of
the applicant's proposed 17/24 GHz BSS space station, must provide an
interference analysis of the kind described in paragraph (a) of this
section, except that the applicant must demonstrate that its proposed
operations will not cause more interference to the adjacent 17/24 GHz BSS
satellite network than if the adjacent space station were located four
degrees from the applicant's space station.
(6) In addition to the requirements of paragraphs (b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(5)
of this section, the link budget for any satellite in the 17/24 GHz BSS must
take into account longitudinal stationkeeping tolerances and, where
appropriate, any existing orbital location offsets from the 17/24 GHz BSS
orbital locations of the adjacent prior-authorized 17/24 GHz BSS space
stations. In addition, any 17/24 GHz BSS satellite applicant that has
reached a coordination agreement with an operator of another 17/24 GHz BSS
satellite to allow that operator to exceed the pfd levels specified in the
rules for this service, must use those higher pfd levels for the purposes of
this showing.
(c) Operators of satellite networks using 17/24 GHz BSS space stations must
design their satellite networks to be capable of operating with another
17/24 GHz BSS space station as follows:
(1) Except as described in paragraphs (b)(4)(ii) and (b)(4)(iii) of this
section, all satellite network operators using 17/24 GHz BSS space stations
must design their satellite networks to be capable of operating with another
17/24 GHz BSS space station as close as four degrees away.
(2) Satellite network operators located less than four degrees away from a
space station to be operated pursuant to § 25.262(b) of this part must design
their satellite networks to be capable of operating with that adjacent 17/24
GHz BSS space station.
(3) Satellite network operators using 17/24 GHz BSS space stations located
at an orbital location other than those specified in Appendix F of the
Report and Order adopted May 2, 2007, IB Docket No. 06-123, FCC 07-76, and
that are not operating pursuant to § 25.262(b) of this part, must design
their satellite networks to be capable of operating with another 17/24 GHz
BSS space station closer than four degrees away, as a result of the
operator's offset position.
(d)-(g) [Reserved]
