Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 Guidance Notes Licensing of a Transportable Earth Station in the Fixed Satellite Service

General

These notes and application form relate to the issue of a Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 licence. A Telecommunications Act licence may also be required. The T Act Satellite Services Class Licence places certain restrictions on interconnection with the public network. Further advice can be obtained by writing to:

Department of Trade and Industry,
Communications and Information Industries Directorate,
151 Buckingham Palace Road,
London SW1W 9SS

Notes on completing the Form RA361

In the case of a private firm which is not a Limited Company, the full name of each partner should be given.

There may be insufficient space on the Form to answer particular questions, in such cases the appropriate section should be photocopied and added to the Form.

The processing of the application may be delayed if any of the details given on the Form are not complete or correct.

Any amendment to your licence requires the prior consent of the Secretary of State. If you are applying for an amendment to your current licence, you need to complete all questions.

Section B

All emissions are to be contained in the frequency band 14.00 to 14.50 GHz.
Designation of Emission

Is made up of three parts, Bandwidth (four characters), Emission (three characters) & Description of Emission (two characters). This makes a nine character emission code. See Guide to Class of Emissions RA97.
e.g. 30M0F8FHN is 30M0 = 30 MHz, F = Frequency modulated, 8 = Composite system with one or more channels containing analogue information, F = Television (video), H = Sound of broadcasting quality (stereophonic or quadraphonic), N = No multiplexing employed.
Total Peak Power

Enter the appropriate sign (+ or -) and the value of the total peak envelope power (RR151) expressed in dBW for the corresponding emission.
Maximum Power Density Enter the appropriate sign (+ or -) followed by the value of the maximum power density per Hertz (expressed in dBW/Hz) supplied to the input of the antenna averaged over the worst 4 kHz band. For narrow band carriers with a necessary bandwidth (RR146) less than the reference bandwidth, the peak power should be averaged over the reference bandwidth (4 kHz) to obtain this value of maximum power density. The most recent version of ITU-R Report 792 should be used to the extent applicable in calculating the maximum power density per Hz.
Type of Antenna

i.e. Cassegrain etc.

Maximum Isotropic Gain

Enter the gain (Gi: see RR154) of the antenna in the direction of maximum radiation, expressed in dBi.
Beamwidth Enter the total beamwidth at the mean half-power points of the main lobe, expressed in decimal degrees. Describe in detail in attachment if not symmetrical.
Radiation Pattern

If a reference radiation pattern cannot be indicated by one of the symbols below, or the measured radiation diagram of the antenna is available, give the relevant information in an attachment. If an attachment is provided, enter a figure number identifying its presence.

Indicate the reference radiation pattern, preferably by means of the following symbols or similar symbols not exceeding 12 characters.

Symbol Description of the Radiation Pattern
REC-465 Current version of ITU-R Recommendation 465: "Reference earth station radiation pattern for use in coordination and interference assessment in frequency range from 2 to about 30 GHz."
REC-580 Current version of ITU-R Recommendation 580: "Radiation diagrams for use as design objectives for antennas of earth stations operating with geostationary satellites."
AP28 Point 4, Annex II of Appendix 28. Note: This radiation diagram is identical to that in Annex III to Appendix 29.
29-25LOG(FI) Represents a reference radiation pattern similar to that in ITU-R Rec.465 with side lobe radiation reduced by 3dB.
27-25LOG(FI) As above with side lobe radiation reduced by 5dB.

Radiation Hazard

Applicants are advised to obtain information concerning safety precautions relating to intense radio frequency radiation from the local Area Office of HM Factory Inspectorate. The address and telephone number may be found under "Health and Safety Executive" in the telephone directory.
