  • market access without the technical information requested in Section 25.114(c) of the Commission's rules. At present, an agreement exists between Canada and the United States for those satellites operating at Ka-band with orbital separations of 2� or more. It is understood that operations by either country in the Ka-band that meet the requirements of the Blanket Licensing provisions of Section 25.138 are considered to be coordinated. Absent the more detailed technical information required by Section 25.114 of the Commission's rules, however, we cannot determine whether the Ka-band package on the Anik F2 satellite is operating in accordance with this agreement and thus can operate interference-free in a two-degree spacing environment. Accordingly, consistent with our treatment of U.S.-licensed systems, we will permit

In this Public Notice, we seek to provide guidance and to clarify the types of information that FSS space station applicants must include in their applications to meet the interference analysis requirements of � 25.140(b)(2). The requirements of � 25.140(b)(2) may be met by either of the following methods: For FSS satellite systems operating in Ka-frequency bands subject to �25.138, the interference analysis must include the minimal data requirements listed in �25.140(b)(2). This data includes: (1) link noise budget, (2) modulation parameters, and (3) overall link performance analysis for each type of r.f. carrier.

The Commission's rules include specific information requirements from earth station applicants in order for their applications to be complete and acceptable for filing. In particular, Section 25.115(e), among other things, requires earth station applications seeking to operate in the 20/30 GHz Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) to file the information described in Section 25.138(d). Section 25.138(d), in turn, requires earth station applications to provide for each earth station antenna type ``a series of radiation patterns measured on a production antenna performed on a calibrated antenna range...''

In addition, the application is missing various antenna radiation patterns for the proposed 2.4-meter and 3.9-meter antennas as required under Section 25.138(d) of the Commission's rules.
