The statements by Adelstein (*http://tinyurl.com/2jyhdg) *and McDowell (* http://tinyurl.com/2jg3sx) *make it clear that FiberTower's petition is to allow 2' dishes. I'm unclear on "minimum dish size", having heard 4' from this list, including a post by Charles Wu. But I just found a 2005 press release (*http://tinyurl.com/274wmy) *by RFS on the availability of a 3' dish meeting the FCC's standards for 10.7-11.7 GHz antennas.
The only standard I've seen so far - Part 101 Sec. 101.115 "Directional antennas" (*http://tinyurl.com/37ummg*) - only specifies maximum beamwidth and minimum gain. If Part 101 talks about dish sizes elsewhere, please let me know. If Part 101 does not state dish size, then the petition boils down to a relaxation of beamwidth / gain concomitant to the characteristics of a 2' dish.
