About this file
The document is a Department of Defense (DD) Form 1494, which is an Application for Equipment Frequency Allocation. The form provides comprehensive technical details for documenting radio frequency equipment characteristics, including sections for transmitter, receiver, and antenna equipment. The form is designed to capture critical technical specifications such as frequency ranges, emission designators, tuning capabilities, scan characteristics, gain, and other electromagnetic compatibility parameters. It serves as a standardized method for the Department of Defense to review and allocate frequency resources for various communication and electronic systems across different stages of development (conceptual, experimental, developmental, and operational).
The form includes detailed instructions for completing each section, emphasizing the need for precise technical information about equipment frequency use. It requires applicants to provide specifics like frequency tolerance, modulation techniques, power output, sensitivity, polarization, and geographical areas of use. The form is intended to support spectrum management and ensure electromagnetic compatibility across different military and government communication systems. While this specific document is a blank template form with instructions, it would be used to document the technical characteristics of radio frequency equipment for potential allocation and coordination purposes.
