Regards, (signed) Phillip Inglis 14085 Howard Rd. Dayton, MD. 21036

31030/4-3- 1300C2 Mr. Ronald C. LaBarca President U.S. Radar Inc. P. O. Box 319 Matawan, New Jersey 07747 Dear Mr. LaBarca: This is in reply to your letter of January 28, 1998, requesting a waiver of Part 15 of the Commission's rules to permit the authorization of a ground-penetrating radar system manufactured by ERA Technology and known as SPRscan. The SPRscan is an impulse radar system employing antennas centered at 250 MHz, 500 MHz, 1000 MHz and 2000 MHz. Specifically, you request a waiver of the prohibition against operation within the restricted bands ( ∋ 15.205), the prohibition against operation within the TV broadcast bands ( ∋ 15.209(a)), the application of a pulse desensitization correction factor ( ∋∋ 15.31 and 15.35), and the prohibition against employing a Class B, damped wave emission ( ∋∋ 2.201 and 15.5). In support of your waiver request, you state that emissions from the SPRscan are below 40 dBuV/m at a distance of 3 meters. This indicates that the equipment is capable of complying with our general emission limits in ∋ 15.209 of the rules. You also state that you will limit the marketing of this product to 25 units, that users will be required to maintain a log of operations, that the equipment will contain a "dead man's handle" which must be physically depressed to activate the transmitter, and that the equipment will contain a proximity sensor to ensure that the transmitter shuts off if the antenna is moved off of the surface being investigated. Based on these parameters, you express confidence that there is a low probability that interference would be caused to other radio operations. As the frequencies that will be used include several frequency bands allocated to the U.S. Government, we coordinated the waiver request with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). On June 15, 1999, NTIA informed us that the waiver can be granted with certain conditions. A copy of the NTIA letter and attachment setting forth the conditions is enclosed. It is a well-established principle that the Commission will waive its rules only if it determines, after careful consideration of all pertinent factors, that such a grant would serve the public interest without undermining the policy which the rule in question is intended to serve. WAIT Radio v. FCC, 418 F.2d 1153, 1157 (D.C. Cir. 1969). In discussing the treatment of requests for waivers of established rules, the court in WAIT Radio emphasized that the agency's discretion in applying general rules is intimately linked to the existence of "a safety valve procedure" to permit consideration of an application for exemption based on special circumstances. Id. Indeed, the court considered a rule most likely to be undercut if it does not take into account "considerations of hardship, equity, or more effective implementation of overall policy...." Id. at 1159. We believe that the requested waiver would serve the public interest by allowing U.S. Radar to supply a radar system that is capable of detecting plastic gas pipes, assessing roads, bridges, runways and similar structures for structural integrity, being used in forensic searches, and other similar functions. Furthermore, based on the conditions specified in your request we believe that there is a low probability that harmful interference would be caused by ground-penetrating radar systems. Preventing interference to other radio services is the primary purpose of the standards in Part 15. Thus, it does not appear that the requested waiver would undermine the policy of our rules. Accordingly, under the authority contained in Sections 0.31(i) and 0.241(a) of the Commission's regulations, 47 CFR ∋∋ 0.31 (i) and 0.241 (a), a waiver is hereby granted to U.S. Radar to permit it to market the radar systems described in its petition. This waiver is subject to the following conditions: 1)The waiver is limited to ground-penetrating radar systems. Radar systems designed to penetrate walls or other surfaces are not being permitted under this waiver due to the lower level of attenuation of the radiated signals and the higher potential for interference. 2)A grant of certification must be obtained for the transmitter, demonstrating compliance with the general emission limits in ∋ 15.209 as well as the other applicable rule sections in Part 15, before marketing can begin. 3)The design and operation of the equipment shall comply with the conditions stipulated in your request for a waiver, i.e., users will be required to maintain a log of operations, the equipment will contain a "dead man's handle" which must be physically depressed to activate the transmitter, and the equipment will contain a proximity sensor to ensure that the transmitter shuts off if the antenna is moved off of the surface being investigated. 4)In addition to the standard labelling required under Part 15, the product shall be labelled with the following statement: "This equipment is authorized under a waiver issued by the FCC. If it is determined that the operation of this equipment has caused harmful interference to other radio operations, the operator shall immediately contact U.S. Radar at [your telephone number]." 5)The number of units marketed in the U.S. under this waiver shall not exceed 25 units per calendar year. 6)The equipment should meet the appropriate conditions stipulated in the NTIA letter of June 15, 1999. 7)This waiver shall expire within four years from the date of this letter or upon the effective date of a Report and Order addressing this matter, whichever is earlier. However, the cessation of U.S. manufacture, importation and marketing could be required at an earlier date should the Commission find that these radar systems are causing harmful interference to other radio services. If you have any further questions, please contact John Reed at (202) 418-2455 or at the address on the letterhead (Room 7-A140). Sincerely, Dale N. Hatfield Chief Office of Engineering and Technology cc:Vivette…

Page 1 of 12 SPRdescription/iss_a/nh11 th August 1999 ERA Technology Ltd SPRscan Overview System Description 1.Introduction This document provides an overview of the operation of the ERA Technology Ltd Surface Penetrating Radar - SPRscan. Pulse generator circuit diagrams and module internal photographs are contained in three separate documents: SPRscan 500 MHz antenna circuit diagrams and internal photographs, SPRscan 250 MHz Antenna Circuit Diagrams and internal photographs, SPRscan 1 GHz antenna circuit diagrams and internal photographs. 2.Over-View SPRscan is an ultra-wide band radar intended for geophysical surveying and non destructive testing. In use, the system performs time domain reflectometry by radiating a radio frequency impulse with a repetition frequency of 1 MHz from a transmitting dipole (TX dipole). Transitions between materials exhibiting different wave impedances through which the electromagnetic wave travels cause the wave to be reflected. These reflections are received by the receiving dipole (RX dipole) and sampled by the instrument. Results may be displayed in real time on the system screen and recorded on an internal hard disk drive for later analysis. In the field, the system is usually powered from a rechargeable battery. The system may either be carried with the antenna being dragged along the ground by a simple pull handle or it may be mounted on a trolley incorporating a distance encoder; the trolley providing mechanical support and accurate data registration. When used for data capture, SPRscan comprises the following items as a minimum: ControllerA ruggedised PC based upon an AMD 5x86-133 MHz processor with hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, TFT LCD display, custom internal keyboard and custom interface card housed in a custom metal enclosure. Head ElectronicsThe radar control and data acquisition subsystem. AntennaComprises a pair of shielded resistively loaded dipoles, a pulse generator, a preamplifier and a surface proximity sensor. Function HandleA hand grip incorporating control buttons and dead man’s switch. For different applications antennas are available with the following centre frequencies: 250 MHz, 500 MHz and 1 GHz. When used with the 250 MHz and 500 MHz antennas, the head electronics are mounted within the antenna housing. When used with the 1 GHz antenna the head electronics is mounted within a separate housing. In addition to it’s use as the radar system controller, SPRscan’s controller may be used as a stand alone PC for analysis of previously recorded data. In this mode SPRscan is usually powered from a mains adaptor. Further items which may be fitted include standard commercial PC peripherals including the following: keyboard, mouse, parallel port device and external monitor. SPRscan has two active methods of reducing radio interference; these involve the incorporation of a dead man’s switch to automatically inhibit impulse transmission when the system is idle and a surface proximity sensor to automatically inhibit impulse transmission when an antenna is not in contact with a suitable surface.

Before being tested on the open area test site (OATS) it was subject to a prescan in a fully lined anechoic chamber. 6.2.2 Environmental Conditions Temperature: 15ºC Relative Humidity: 66% 6.2.3 Results - Radiated Enclosure Emissions The test plan called for a measurement bandwidth of 120 kHz for the frequency range 30 to 1000 MHz and 1 MHz bandwidth for the frequency range 1 to 10 GHz. Using these bandwidths for the initial test runs there were no measurable emissions above system noise level, even with pre- amplifiers in use. It was necessary to reduce the bandwidth to 9 kHz, in order to measure the SPRscan emissions. This procedure was used for both the pre-scans and the open area test site measurements.
