Radio Licence Data Entry Guide – Aeronautical Base Station

• Are the transmitter and receiver at the same site? (required) – Drop down selection:
  • Fixed (same site) – In a building (this is the most common selection)
  • Transportable – A vehicle at an airport that can be moved then parked for an extended period of time
  • Fixed (split site) – Two fixed stations, one that transmits only and one that receives only

  Click Next to continue.

Select the Unknown hyperlink in the “Municipality and street address or site name” column to enter information about the station(s).

Fixed Base Station [Station 1]

• Station type – Auto populated
• Station name and address or area of operation (municipality, province, or region) (required)
  • This field allows for a maximum of 63 characters. Special characters count for two characters (for example, é, è, etc.).
  • Ex: city, province (address)
• Additional address information (if necessary)
• Licensee Station Reference Name – Your own identifier for this station
• Call sign – Will be populated by ISED

Station Location [Geographical coordinates (WGS84)]

• Latitude (required)
• Longitude (required)
• Radius of station coverage [km] (required) – Enter “0” since the radius varies depending on the flight level
• Ground elevation above mean sea level (AMSL) [m] (required) – (b) ground level
• Overall antenna structure height above ground level [m] (required) – (a) overall height
• Province(s) of operation

Refer to the figure below for representations of (a) and (b)

Description of figure

This figure is an example of an elevation diagram of typical tower and transmitting antenna structures.

• The tower is drawn as a vertical pole and the antenna is shown as a small vertical structure attached to the tower.
• The ground level is drawn as a horizontal line running at the base of the tower.
• There is a bidirectional arrow between the top of the tower and the line at ground level, indicating the overall antenna structure height above ground level, indicated with the letter (a).
• The line representing the average elevation of terrain is drawn as a horizontal line slightly below ground level.
• Mean sea level is shown as a horizontal line at the bottom of the graphic, below the average elevation of terrain.
• A bidirectional arrow between the line at ground level and the line at mean sea level indicates the ground level elevation above mean sea level (AMSL), indicated with the letter (b).
• There is a bidirectional arrow between the roof of the building and the line at ground level indicating the height of the roof above ground (HRAG), indicated by the letter (c).
• A horizontal line runs from the vertical centre of the antenna and is identified as the radiating centre (RC).
• There is a bidirectional arrow between the radiating centre of the antenna and the line at ground level, indicating the antenna height above ground level (AGL) at the centre of radiation, indicated by the letter (d).
• There is a bidirectional arrow between the radiating centre of the antenna and the line of the average elevation of terrain, which indicates the effective height above average terrain (EHAAT).
• There is a bidirectional arrow between the line marking the radiating centre of the antenna and the line at mean sea level, indicating the height of the radiating centre above mean sea level.

• Provide Site Attestation as an attachment (required):
  • Select Yes to upload the completed ISED-ISDE2430: Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems Attestation form by adding the attachment later in the application process.
  • Select No to complete this information online.
  • For a modification, select N/A if there are no changes being made to the current antenna system.

Emission List

• Click Add Emission to add a new emission.

Radio Specifications

• Manufacturer (required)
• Model (required)
• Radio Type (required) – Drop down
• Certification Number

  • Data Entry Tip: Click Lookup to populate the above information via the Radio Equipment List. Select the appropriate radio from the search results and click on the appropriate Copy button.

    Transmitter Specifications Search

    Search by any of the following specifications:

    • Hardware Version Identification Number (HVIN) – Enter the model/type of the transmitter.
    • Company Name – Enter the manufacturer of the transmitter.
    • Product Marketing Name – The name or model number under which the product is marketed/offered for sale in Canada.
    • Certification Number – Issued by ISED and certifies that the equipment complies with established Radio Standards Specifications (RSS) requirements, in accordance with the appropriate Radio Standards Procedure (RSP).

    Once the make and model have been found, use the Copy button to select the row that matches the type, frequency range (MHz), designation of emission, occupied bandwidth and power range (W) that matches the radio you are licensing. These specifications will automatically populate in the application when the model is selected using the Copy button.

• Low Frequency (0-99999) [MHz]
• High Frequency (0-99999) [MHz]
• Designation of Emission (including necessary bandwidth) (required)
• Occupied Bandwidth [kHz] (required)
• RF Output Power [W] (required)
• Describe any communications with stations not on this licence and identify any channels to be used for mobile-to-mobile talk-around. This could represent a third party from whom you would require a letter of authority to use their authorized frequency(ies).

Antenna Specifications

• Manufacturer (required)
• Model Number (required)
• Antenna Pattern – Drop down
• Antenna Gain [dBd] (required)
• Polarization – Drop down
• Antenna height above ground level [m] (required) – Only enter the antenna's height. [refer to the figure above for the representation of point (d)]
• Total line, connector, and filter loss [dB] (required)
• Maximum flight level (required)
