We further request certification for analog operation and digital operation under both rule parts. The OET electronic filing site does not accommodate more than one modulation, power, or frequency ranges which are applicable under multiple rule parts for a band that is in transition. This transmitter may be utilized for analog video, digital video, or data transmission in systems using both pre and post transition band plans. As such, customers desire the flexibility to adjust their systems during the transition process and desire a product with the design flexibility to do so. Said customers contemplate using the transmitter for operation in ITFS and MMDS systems under Rule Part 74, and also for EBS and BRS operations under Part 27 in the MBS, LBS, and UBS. We request that the grant include the following specifications. Rule Part Frequency Frequency Emission Output Range Tolerance Designator Power 74 2500-2686 MHz 1000 Hz 5M75C3F 400 Watts (Peak Visual)) 74 2500-2686 MHz 1000 Hz 6M00D7W 50 Watts (Average) 27 2495-2690 MHz 1000 Hz 5M75C3F 400 Watts (Peak Visual) 27 2495-2690 MHz 1000 Hz 6M00D7W 50 Watts (Average) The test report filed under this application will demonstrate that the HSD-5000 complies will all relevant rules for operation under both Part 74 and Part 27.

Figure 4-1: Test Setup for Analog Power Measurement The HSD-5000, modulated with color bars at 87.5%, was adjusted to obtain a 200 Watt Peak Visual (53dBm) and 10 Watt Aural (-13dB) measurement on the spectrum analyzer. The metering circuit was adjusted to obtain a 100% reading on the forward power meter. With the transmitter properly configured for analog operation and the peak visual power set to 200 Watts, all required tests were performed and the analog operation test data recorded in the following sections of the test report. The peak power measurement is shown in the spectrum analyzer plot in Figure 4-2.
