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 and
any other applicable form or associated Public Notices and by any applicable
rules in this part.
