EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS Users now receive a warning message when choosing to delete an emission designator that any links using that emission designator will be removed. The user can continue (OK) or cancel. There is now a check, when deleting stations from the General Information View Summary or the Diagram page, to see if the transmitting station is participating in any links. If so, a warning message will be displayed to the user, allowing them to proceed or cancel. If the user proceeds, the transmitting station and links/modes for that station will be deleted. Users now have the ability to cancel changing from one Controlled Technical Information (CTI) CUI category to another. Canceling preserves the data previously entered for the CTI. 8
EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS 2 When any Synthesizer (Synthesizer, Synthesizer Digital, Synthesizer VCO, etc.) is selected as the Method of Tuning, the compliance check NTIA-CH5-5.5.7.1- Tunability-3 will execute. The NTIA Manual (Red Book) s Chapter 5 - RSEC Criteria A Radar Tunability states A digital (synthesizer) having stepwise tuning increments no greater than 1% of the overall tuning range of the device, across the entire tuning range, shall be considered as meeting the RSEC-A tunability criterion . The Tuning Method Tunable PLL has been renamed to Tunable Phase-Locked Loop . A new Effective Isotrophic Radiated Power (EIRP) Calculation Model has been added to the Editor. EIRP is the sum of the transmitter power delivered to the antenna and the antenna gain. EIRP calculation is also shown on the Emission/Power popup from the Links/Modes page. The State/Country field no longer populates Unknown as the default value when location is not in use. This was causing Compliance Errors. 9
EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS 3 The emission designator Build Tool has been removed from the Receiver Mode Characteristics page. Users now have a dropdown, that contains all the Transmitters emission designators. The user can still enter an emission designator for the Receiver manually (for example, when a spacecraft is transmitting, the receiving earth station has a different emission designator than the transmitter). Space Research has been added as a radio service for 22.55-23.15 GHz band after the Maritime Mobile service in the Table of Allocations. EH (Space) and TH (Earth) have been added as station classes under the Space Research radio service for 22.55-23.15 GHz. Users must now enter an explanation if they select a Receiver Type of Other . If not entered, an error will display on View Summary as well as a Compliance Check data validation error. 10
EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS 4 Users can now enter the Previously Certified SPS Number in the Editor. The diagram page now contains two new station icons: Spaceborne Passive Sensor (satellite image with a P on it) and Spaceborne Active Sensor (satellite image with an A on it). These two stations also appear in the dropdown of station types on the station page. The station Diagram Box has been made larger so that there is more area to see the stations and links. 11
EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS 5 When a station is copied under NTIA General Information, the new station will have - copy1 appended to it and the ordinal will be one more than any existing copy (i.e., next copy will have -copy2 ). Special characters are not permitted in filenames (application and attachments). The allowable characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore, dash, blanks, parenthesis, and period. On the External Editor, Logout has been changed to Close . The External Editor does not require any log in credentials. 12
EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS In the Full Record Print (FRP), the Emission Designator is now listed above the curves (RF Fundamental curve for Transmitter, IF and RF Selectivity curves for Receiver). 13
CERTIFICATE OF SPECTRUM SUPPORT (COSS) The CoSS section now displays the System Nomenclature in the System field. The SPS Secretary, SPS Chair, and DAA now has the ability to view, add, edit, and delete Certification Statements from the Certification Statements library for use in Section 4 NTIA Certification. When a Certification Statement is selected, it will auto- populate Section 4 Certification Statement based on Frequencies selected in the CoSS. Existing Recommendations were replaced with a new list from SRB. Additionally, there is now support for modified by and modified date . When an SRB Engineer converts an application to a CoSS, the system now automatically prepends ApplicationSPSNumber_draftCert_ to the filename where ApplicationSPSNumber is the Application SPS Number from the Application Request. If the ApplicationSPSNumber contains a slash and a stroke, the slash is converted to a dash. Additional enhancements were made to the ECO-to-IRACNet Interface. 14
