                         COMMISSION (CONTINUED)

 

PART 101_FIXED MICROWAVE SERVICES--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart B_Applications and Licenses

 

Sec. 101.21  Technical content of applications.



    Applications, except FCC Form 175, must contain all technical 

information required by the application form and any additional 

information necessary to fully describe the proposed facilities and to 

demonstrate compliance with all technical requirements of the rules 

governing the radio service involved (see subparts C, F, G, I, J, and L 

of this part, as appropriate). The following paragraphs describe a 

number of technical requirements.

    (a) [Reserved]

    (b) Each application for a developmental authorization must be 

accompanied by pertinent supplemental information as required by Sec. 

101.411 of this part in addition to such information as may be 

specifically required by this section.

    (c)-(d) [Reserved]

    (e) Each application in the Private Operational Fixed Point-to-Point 

Microwave Service and the Common Carrier Fixed Point-to-Point Microwave 

Service must include the following information:



Applicant's name and address.

Transmitting station name.

Transmitting station coordinates.

Frequencies and polarizations to be added, changed or deleted.

Transmitting equipment, its stability, effective isotropic radiated 

power, emission designator, and type of modulation (digital).

Transmitting antenna(s), model, gain, and, if required, a radiation 

pattern provided or certified by the manufacturer.

Transmitting antenna center line height(s) above ground level and ground 

elevation above mean sea level.

Receiving station name.

Receiving station coordinates.

Receiving antenna(s), model, gain, and, if required, a radiation pattern 

provided or certified by the manufacturer.

Receiving antenna center line height(s) above ground level and ground 

elevation above mean sea level.

Path azimuth and distance.



    Note: The position location of antenna sites shall be determined to 

an accuracy of no less than 1 second in the 

horizontal dimensions (latitude and longitude) and 1 meter in the vertical dimension (ground elevation) 

with respect to the National Spacial Reference System.



    (f) All applicants for regular authorization must, before filing an 

application, major amendments to a pending application, or modifications 

to a license, prior coordinate the proposed frequency usage with 

existing users in the area and other applicants with previously filed 

applications in accordance with the procedures in Sec. 101.103. In 

those frequency bands shared with the communication-satellite service, 

an applicant for a new station, for new points of communication, for the 

initial frequency assignment in a shared band for which coordination has 

not been previously effected, or for authority to modify the emission or 

radiation characteristics of an existing station in a manner that may 

increase the likelihood of harmful interference, must ascertain in 

advance whether the station(s) involved lie within the great circle 

coordination distance contours of an existing Earth station or one for 

which an application has been accepted for filing, and must coordinate 

his proposal with each such Earth station operator or applicant. For 

each potential interference path, the applicant must perform the 

computations required to determine that the expected level of 

interference to or from the terrestrial station does not exceed the 

maximum permissible interference power level in accordance with the 

technical standards and requirements of Sec. 25.251 of this chapter. 

The Commission may, in the course of examining any application, require 

the submission of additional showings, complete with pertinent data and 

calculations in accordance with part 25 of this chapter, showing that 

harmful interference will not likely result from the proposed operation. 

(Technical characteristics of the Earth stations on file and 

coordination contour maps for those Earth stations will be kept on file 

for public inspection in the offices of the Commission's International 

Bureau in Washington, DC.)

    (g) Each application in the Local Multipoint Distribution Service 

and 24 GHz Service must contain all technical information required by 

FCC Form 601
