communication systems. The difficulty

in measuring both the UWB signal

characteristics and their effect on other

devices exacerbates the difficulties of

this coordination. The pulses are very

narrow, often in the low nanosecond or

picosecond range, requiring new

measurement techniques and equipment

to measure the signal characteristics

accurately. Further, the interference

effects of very narrow pulses with high

repetition rates and aggregations of

similar devices, such as could occur in

some applications of UWB technology,

are not well understood.

The NTIA has therefore undertaken

this measurement program to develop

information to help address the

implementation and operation of UWB

systems. The objectives of this test plan

are to:

1. Develop measurement procedures

that use commercial-off-the-shelf

(COTS) measurement equipment to

accurately portray UWB emission

characteristics;

2. Observe effects of UWB signals in

the intermediate frequency (IF) sections

of selected receivers, and determine the

susceptibility of conventional radio

receivers to UWB emissions;

3. Provide a basis for development of

a one-on-one interference analysis

procedure to determine the minimum

needed separation distances or the

maximum peak and average effective

isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of UWB

devices to ensure compatibility;

4. Perform a limited set of

measurements to validate the one-onone interference analysis (above)

between UWB signals and selected

Federal radio receivers, particularly

radio navigation and safety-of-life

systems; and

5. Investigate how multiple UWB

emissions add together within a single

receiver.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary; Defense

Science Board

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee

Meeting.

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board

(DSB) Task Force on Unconventional

Nuclear Warfare Defense will meet in

closed session on July 10–11, 2000, at

Strategic Analysis, Inc., 3601 Wilson

Boulevard, Suite 500, Arlington, VA.

This Task Force will determine the

adequacy of DoD’s ability to detect,

identify, respond, and prevent

unconventional nuclear attacks by

terrorists or subnational entities, and the

appropriate role(s) and capability of

DoD to provide protection against

unconventional nuclear attacks in

support of homeland defense.

The mission of the Defense Science

Board is to advise the Secretary of

Defense and the Under Secretary of

Defense for Acquisition, Technology &

Logistics on scientific and technical

matters as they affect the perceived

needs of the Department of Defense. At

these meetings, the Defense Science

Board Task Force will review and

evaluate the Department’s ability to

provide information

In accordance with Section 10(d) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act,

P.L. No. 92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C.

App. II, (1994)), it has been determined

that these Defense Science Board

meetings, concern matters listed in 5

U.S.C. § 552b(c)(1) (1994), and that

accordingly these meeting will be closed

to the public.

Dated: June 22, 2000.
