Expert
Testimony

Expert witness services for broadcast-related litigation, FCC enforcement proceedings, and regulatory disputes. We provide technically rigorous analysis, written reports, and sworn testimony grounded in decades of hands-on broadcast engineering experience.

Areas of Expertise

Technical expertise
the proceedings demand.

Broadcast engineering disputes require an expert who can translate complex RF and regulatory concepts into clear, defensible analysis. We have the field experience and FCC regulatory knowledge to support your matter.

FCC Enforcement Proceedings

Technical analysis and expert testimony for FCC enforcement actions involving alleged rule violations, unauthorized operations, and license compliance matters. We evaluate the technical merits of FCC findings and provide independent engineering analysis.

Part 73 ViolationsUnauthorized OperationLicense Compliance

Interference Complaints & Disputes

Rigorous technical analysis of AM and FM interference complaints, including field measurements, propagation modeling, and evaluation of alleged interference sources. We determine whether claimed interference is technically valid and document findings for FCC proceedings or litigation.

AM InterferenceFM InterferencePropagation Analysis

Directional Antenna Compliance

Expert analysis of AM directional antenna system performance, pattern compliance, and proof-of-performance disputes. We evaluate whether a station's directional system was operating within FCC tolerance and assess the technical validity of compliance claims.

Pattern ComplianceProof of PerformanceATU Analysis

Broadcast Facility Litigation

Technical expert witness services for civil litigation involving broadcast facilities — including equipment failure disputes, construction defect claims, purchase and sale disputes, and professional negligence matters involving broadcast engineering work.

Equipment DisputesConstruction ClaimsP&S Disputes

Transmitter Plant Operations

Expert analysis of transmitter plant operating practices, maintenance standards, and equipment performance. We evaluate whether transmitter plant operations met applicable standards and assess the technical basis for claims involving equipment failures or off-air events.

Regulatory & Licensing Disputes

Technical support for FCC license proceedings, including comparative hearings, license modification disputes, and regulatory compliance matters. We provide engineering analysis that supports the legal positions of licensees, applicants, and intervenors.

Analysis that holds up
under scrutiny.

Expert testimony is only as strong as the engineering behind it. Our analysis is methodical, documented, and grounded in FCC regulations and broadcast engineering standards — built to withstand cross-examination and FCC review.

Technical Analysis Reports — Written engineering analysis of the technical issues in dispute, with supporting calculations, measurements, and regulatory citations. Reports are written to be understood by non-engineers while maintaining technical rigor.
Expert Witness Declarations — Sworn declarations and affidavits suitable for submission in FCC proceedings, federal court, and state court matters. Prepared in compliance with applicable procedural requirements.
Deposition & Trial Testimony — In-person expert witness testimony at depositions, FCC hearings, and trial. We present complex broadcast engineering concepts clearly and withstand rigorous cross-examination.
Rebuttal Analysis — Technical review and rebuttal of opposing expert reports. We identify methodological errors, unsupported conclusions, and misapplications of FCC regulations in opposing expert analysis.
Consulting Support — Non-testifying consulting to help counsel understand the technical issues, evaluate the strength of technical claims, and prepare for expert depositions and cross-examination.

Why Our Testimony Holds Up

Decades of field experience

Our opinions are grounded in hands-on work at real broadcast facilities — not theoretical analysis alone. We've tuned the transmitters, measured the patterns, and filed the FCC paperwork.

Deep FCC regulatory knowledge

We understand the technical rules — 47 CFR Part 73, proof-of-performance requirements, directional antenna tolerances — and can explain how they apply to the facts of your matter.

Clear, defensible methodology

Our analysis follows established engineering methods and is fully documented. We can explain every step of our methodology and defend it under cross-examination.

No advocacy — only analysis

We provide honest technical analysis, not advocacy. If the facts don't support a position, we say so. That credibility is what makes our testimony effective.

Regulatory Framework

Our testimony is grounded in the applicable FCC technical rules and broadcast engineering standards.

Engagement Process

From initial review
to sworn testimony.

01

Preliminary Review

We review the matter, available technical records, and FCC filings to assess the issues and determine whether we can provide useful analysis. We identify any conflicts and confirm availability.

02

Technical Investigation

Detailed analysis of the technical issues — reviewing FCC records, conducting field measurements where appropriate, and applying engineering analysis to the facts of the matter.

03

Report & Declaration

Preparation of a written technical analysis report and, where required, a sworn expert declaration or affidavit suitable for submission in the relevant proceeding.

04

Testimony & Rebuttal

Deposition testimony, FCC hearing appearances, and trial testimony as required. Review and rebuttal of opposing expert reports and declarations.
