MTN later clarified that ten of its applications were for locations in U.S. Navy ports, and 22 for locations in Commercial ports. Finally, MTN provided additional technical information on its antennas, because they do not comply with the technical requirements of Sections 25.209(a) and (b) of the Commission's rules. Two of MTN's FSS applications were placed on public notice in November 1998, and seven parties filed petitions to deny. The remaining 30 applications as amended were placed on public notice in February 1999, and eight parties filed petitions to deny. Among other things, the petitioners claim that MTN mischaracterizes its service as FSS,

Second, Onsat has not shown that it faces any unusual hardship that would warrant a waiver. Granting Onsat's waiver request would undermine the Commission's policy objectives. The 3.7-meter antenna Onsat plans to use does not meet the antenna gain pattern requirements contained in sections 25.209(a) and (b). The gain of any earth station antenna must fall within the limits defined by the equations set forth in sections 25.209(a) and (b) to qualify for routine licensing. In other words, the main lobes and side lobes of an antenna must be less than the limits specified in the equations cited in section 25.209. Allowing an antenna to

W4 plans to carry Internet traffic and provide digital network communications and services to remote earth stations located throughout the Americas. W4's antenna complies with all the requirements of Part 25, including Section 25.209, and so we grant W4 authority to access all U.S.-licensed satellites (ALSAT) in the 14.0-14.5 GHz frequency band. In addition, NTIA has concurred with W4's use of frequencies in the 13.75-14.0 GHz band. Consequently, we add Nahuel C as an authorized point of communication in the 13810.00-13993.56 MHz frequency band. IV. CONCLUSION We have determined that Williams's communications with Nahuel

  • however, argues that the routine earth station licensing standards do not apply to receive-only earth stations. We disagree. ``Routinely licensed'' earth stations are all earth stations that meet the Commission's Part 25 technical requirements designed to implement two-degree orbital spacing. Further, operations of ``routine'' earth stations are protected against interference that may be caused by other satellite systems. Under Section 25.209(c) of the Commission's rules, licensed receive-only earth stations are protected from interference to the degree to which the earth station receiving antenna meets the antenna gain envelopes in Sections 25.209(a) and (b). Generally, earth station antennas must be a minimum size (4.5 meters in the C-band and 1.2 meters at Ku-band) to meet these envelopes. Consequently, we routinely process applications

Boeing further indicates that it will protect GSO FSS satellite networks operating in the 12 GHz band by using space-to-Earth e.i.r.p. spectral density levels that are equal to, or less than, those previously coordinated for the Telstar 6 satellite with adjacent satellite operators.

The new GSO FSS reference pattern differs from the requirement currently specified in Section 25.209 of the Commission's Rules. The Section 25.209 requirement was developed to facilitate GSO to GSO sharing where a constant level of interference is present. The new reference pattern, on the other hand, takes into account the transient nature of NGSO FSS interference by averaging the peaks and nulls of a GSO FSS earth station antenna, rather than conservatively specifying an

Examples of these ripples can be seen in the antenna gain pattern diagrams in Appendix A. These ripples are called "side lobes." The "gain" of any earth station antenna must fall within the limits defined by the equations set forth in Section 25.209(a) and (b). In other words, the "main lobes" and "side lobes" of an antenna must be less than the limits specified in the equations in Section 25.209. Allowing an antenna to operate with side lobes outside the Section 25.209 envelope, without making some other adjustment such as reducing power levels, creates a potential for unacceptable interference to adjacent satellite systems

  • The recommended antenna patterns are used as a reference standard for calculating permitted epfd( values from NGSO FSS systems. The DBS operator must use a receive antenna that can sufficiently reject NGSO FSS interference in this environment, however any number of antenna patterns can accomplish this result. See generally Skybridge Report and Order at ¶170-204 and Annex A, Final Rules §25.209(l)-(m). In an interference limited environment, the system performance is primarily a function of the carrier-to-interference (C/I) ratio and is largely independent of receiver noise power. As a practical matter however, the operator typically cannot significantly increase transmit power as a means of improving overall system performance. Comments of DIRECTV at 26.

  • application of the FSS will not cause unnecessary interference to important RAS assets. Other Allocation Issues Allocation in Conventional Downlink Band Based on Antenna Size Background. In the NPRM, the Commission sought comment on a proposal from Qualcomm to allocate primary status in the conventional downlink band (11.7-12.2 GHz) based on antenna size. Qualcomm had suggested an amendment to section 25.209 of the Commission's rules that would set an antenna size threshold, possibly 55 centimeters, above which the allocation would be primary and receive appropriate interference protection and below which it would be secondary and thus less protected. Qualcomm had asserted that, for a system that employs ultra-small antennas - which, with their wider main lobes, may be more vulnerable to
