§ 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]
