Washington Office December 18, 2002 Mr. Andrew Leimer Federal Communications Commission 445 12 th Street, SW Washington DC, 20554 Dear Mr. Leimer, This letter is in response to your correspondence dated November 7, 2002, Correspondence Reference Number 24302. Your correspondence asked three questions: 1. βThe Test Report mentions that there is a waiver for the 16QAM modulation. Please upload this as an exhibit. 2. Upload the FAA coordination letter when received. 3. I am confused on the power. You asked for 0.159 Watts. Is this EIRP? Explain where this figure came from.β Below are the responses to your questions and comments: 1. On November 15, 2002, Rockwell Collins submitted the waiver request to the Wireless Bureau. We have not yet received a response to our waiver request. Rockwell Collins is working with the Wireless Bureau to obtain this waiver. As soon as the waiver is granted, we will submit it. 2. Rockwell Collins submitted the FAA coordination letter today, December 18, 2002. 3. Output power is discussed in Section 2.6 of our test report. Unfortunately, our engineers found one error in Section 2.6. The first sentence currently states: β(as measured at the antenna terminals)β. It should have read: β(as measured at the HST-900 output terminals)β. Therefore, 0.159 Watts or +22dBm is the maximum power output of the HST-900. The HST-900 only operates as an exciter. The signal leaving the HST-900 is then amplified by the High Power Amplifier which is currently certified by the FCC (AJK8220953) and then the signal is sent to the antenna. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me at 703-516-8213. Sincerely, Joseph Cramer Manager Governmental and Regulatory Affairs

The HST-900 chassis is designed for either forced air or convection cooling. The front panel contains a data loader connector used to upload data to the HST-900 and set of LEDs to indicate unit status. It also contains a βself-testβ button and corresponding LED indicators for active operator maintenance. A backplane assembly interfaces the Arinc 600 connector with the power supply, channel card, data processor card, and output amplifier. The HST-900 also contains an ovenized high stability crystal oscillator to provide a stable 10 MHz reference to the channel card. Channel Card The Channel Card contains the entire physical layer to L band and the protocols of an M4 terminal. In addition to the basic M4 (including MPDS) functionality, the Channel Card interfaces with the Data Processor for command and control functions. Interfaces between the Channel Card and the Data Processor fall into the broad categories of Operational, BITE, Maintenance and Test and Approval. Data interfaces to the Channel Card are ISDN BRI S/T for circuit switched data and RS-232 for packet data (MPDS). Voice services shall not be supported. Data Processor The purpose of the Data Processor is twofold: Control The Data Processor shall mediate between the Channel Card and the SDU, performing protocol conversion as required ensuring proper control of the HST-900. It shall also provide configuration and testing capabilities. User Data The Data Processor shall provide data conversion between the ISDN and RS232 on the Channel Card and other interfaces as required (i.e., 10BaseT Ethernet). This may include providing OSI Layer 2 and Layer 3 services. Power Supply The Power Supply provides regulated power to the Channel Card, External Reference, Output Amplifier and Data Processor. External Reference The External Reference provides a stable 10 MHz reference signal to the Channel Card. Output Amplifier The Output Amplifier increases the power of the RF signal from the Channel Card to the required level. Backplane The Backplane is a passive module that provides interconnection between all other modules of the HST-900 and to the outside world.

Washington Office October 23, 2002 Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Application Filed Via OET Laboratory Electronic Filing Site https://gullfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/index.html Re: Equipment Authorization Under Part 87 Certification HST-900 High-Speed Transceiver FCC ID: AJK8221772 In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Communication Commission Rules and Regulations, Rockwell Collins, Inc. hereby notifies the Federal Communications Commission of additional testing information for its certification application for the Rockwell Collins HST - 900 High Speed Data Transceiver. Figure 8 of Section 3.6 βOccupied Bandwidthβ, measured the bandwidth which contained 99.5% of the transmitted energy. However, 47CFR 87.135(a), defines the Occupied Bandwidth as βthe width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to 0.5 percent of the total mean power of a given emission.β For a symmetrical spectrum, the proper test equipment settings should have been established as 99.0% of the transmitted energy. This error resulted in an occupied bandwidth measurement greater than if measured properly. Rockwell Collins requests that the attached spectrum plot replace the spectrum plot contained as Figure 8 in Section 3.6.2 of our original submission. In addition, we request that the text of Section 3.6.3 be replaced with the following text to accurately reflect the new measured data. 3.6.3 Test Results Discussion: The 3000 bps signaling channel has an occupied bandwidth measured at 16.00 kHz. This is within the 25 kHz Authorized Bandwidth specified in 87.137 for aircraft earth stations using G1D emissions. The 134400 bps 16-QAM user data channel has an occupied bandwidth measured at 39.84 kHz. This higher data rate class of emission (D1D, D1E, D1W) and associated occupied bandwidth is not accommodated by the table of 87.137. Rockwell Collins intends to submit a Request for Waiver to accommodate the new emission type utilized by the INMARSAT Swift64 service and their associated occupied bandwidths. Please direct any questions regarding this filing to Mr. Joe Cramer, (703) 516-8213.
