 Subject: Coordination of ICO feeder link earth stations at Brewster, WA

 Dear Mr. Nebbia:

 In February 2002, the FAA received a request from ICO to coordinate their planned
 installation of a feeder link earth station in Brewster, WA. The coordination involved two
 meetings and discussion of analyses performed by ICO to determine the compatibility with
 existing and planned microwave landing system sites; The Brewster earth stations were
 successful coordinated, Recently, ICO coordinated with the FAA their request to renew
 their Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license. As a result of the successful
 coordination, the FAA had no objection to the FCC license renewal.

I would like to provide the documentation of the first coordination as information to the
IRAC for the record. No action is being requested of the IRAC or National
Telecommunications and Information Administration.

Please contact me at 202—493—4157 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,




Michael Richmond

                         INTERFERENCE PROTECTION OF MLS SITES
                            IN REGARD TO 5 GHz OPERATION OF
                   USEI‘S BEARTH STATIONS AT BREWSTER, WASHINGTON
                                  WITH ICO SATELLITES

          On February 1, 2000 and February 7, 2000, the below—listed representatives from U.S.
 Electrodynamics, Inc. ("USEI") and ICO Global Communications ("ICO") discussed with
 Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") personnel the potentfial for harmful interference to
 existing operational and planned installations of the aeronautical radionavigation service
 microwave landing system (MLS) from the five transmit/receive earth station antennas al
 Browster, Washington ("Brewster Satellite Access Node (SAN)"), which are to provide
 tracking, telemetry and command ("TT&C") and feeder link communication carriers for the
 ICO medium Earth orbit satellite system.

         In accordance with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") Order and
 Authorization of June 24, 1999, USEI is required to demonstrafe, prior to commencing
 operation of fts antennas, that its operation will not cause interference to existing and planned
 MLS installations. A list of these sites is aftached as Exhibit 1,

        At these mectings, ICO presented a detailed analysis of interference from Brewster
Satellite Access Node operations (single or aggregate carrier total EIRP of 81 dBW) into
MLS receiver at aircraft landing al Moses Lake, Wenatchee and Pemberton (Canada), in
order to assess if the ARINC 727 MLS "out of band"interference protection criterion of—55
dBm(in the range 5150—5250 MHz) would be respected. A copy of the ICO study describing
the analysis and reviewed at each meeting is attached as Exhibit 2.

        At the meetings, the FAA posed technical questions, The ICO staff responded to all of
the queries by the second meeting,. At the conclusion of the second meeting, the FAA folt
that ICO had satisfactorily demonstrated that harmful interference would not be caused to the
MLS stations of concern.

       Under the worst case seenario, ICO demonstrated the following: (1) the maximum
worst case interference level to MLS receivers on aireraft landing at Moses Lake is ~74,5
dBim; (2) the maximum worst case interference level to MLS receivers on aircraft landing at
Wenatches is ~62.4 dBm; and (3) the Brewster Satellite Access Node would not have the
visibility of aireraft operating MLS and landing at Pemberton (Canada),

        Jt was agreed among the parties to the meeting that:

        {1)        The FAA considered that Brewster Satellite Access Nodo operations, within
                   the parameters as described by ICO and USEI, would not ecause interference
                   concerns with respect to the existing and planned MLS operations in
                   Washington State and Pemberton (Canada).

        (2)        The FAA agreed to notify NTIA aud the FCC that the Brewster Satellite
                   Access Node 5 GHz emissions in the band 5150—5250 MHz, operating up to
                   an aggregals tolal EIRP of 81 dBW, SAN minimum efevation angle of 5
                   degrees, SAN circular polarization and SAN antenna radiation pattem


wasainoren n nem


                      complying with ITU—R Rec. $.580, would not cause harmful interference to
                      MLS operations to the sel of existing and planned MLS installations in
                      Washington State and Pemberton Canada.

            (3)       USEL and ICO would prepare these Draft Meeting Minutes for circulation to
                      all the participants for their comments.

   meliorating Factors _
Why Worst Case ?

* TT&C Emergency is normally used during launch phase and in emergency only cases, Le. when
  there is a state of satellite being lost. Normal Cases TT&C = 66 dBW.

* The SAN antennas will be moving with the moving satellites, hence the % time that the
 antenna will be pointing foward the Moses Lake direction and near the 5 degrees minimum
 elevation will be much much less than 1% of the time

* The Terrain will block SAN emissions when plane is approaching Moses Lake run—way.
  From simulations this will happen af plane—runway distance of about 12 km. in such cases the
  interfering signal level will be many dBs betow the line of sight interference level.

* As the plane approaches the run—way and descends, the minimum SAN off—axis angle will increase,
 hence the Interference tevel toward the plane will decrease (see simulations}.

* MLS Receive Wanted Siync‘ Level increases by 6 dB for every halving of plane—runway distance        §Ptn#
 as plane is approaching to run—way.                                                             )K

Calculation of Interference

     Here it is shown:

     1. The geometry ofthe landing paths at Wenatchee with respect to Brewster.

     2. The worst case interference scenario on page 15 and 16.

     3. The interference level from the SAN antenna at the point of the hypothetical landing
     paths on page 17. in reality the SAN will never be pointing at the plane, but instead will
     follow an ICO sateifite. When this happens the SAN will start at 5° minimum etevation
     angle and then will be moving with the satellite with a angular velocity between 1°/minute
     to 1.25°/minute. The angle between the SAN antenna boresight and the plane landing will
     hence have an angular velocity which is greater than the one given above since now there
     also exist the movement of the plane landing at the airport.

     4. The rest of the plots are supporting material for this Annex.

     Interference Calculation from Brewster to
       MLSReceiver Landing at Wenatchee
 Below are calculations results for the cases depicted on page 12 and 14. These show that at the
 landing path {assumed as a straight lins), due to the lower plane elevation from the SAN, the
 interference reduces as sao..~a up until when the Terrain Blockage kicks in where then the
 interference will be much much less than the line of sight free space interference.

     At the landing paths (see page 19, 20 and 21) as the height AMSL reduces and also the
     elevation angle from the SAN reduces, the interference level reduces with respect to the worst
     case (see page 16), since the angle between the SAN antenna boresight and the plane increases
      and hence the SAN antenna gain discrimination increases.

     At a certain point in the landing path the Terrain will block the SAN—Plane line of sight link as
     shown on page 21, 22 and 23. Betow are the interference values fust before this happens (also
      see graph on page 17).

LinkPlotsWhen the SAN—Plane Link
Gets Blocked by Terrain
       Folliowing are Vertical Plots of the SAN—Plane links when it gets blocked by the terrain
       between the SAN and the airplane. The point of terrain blockage is near the SAN {about
       12—15 km) as can be seen from the following three figures.
       The plane is already inside the MLS coverage volume, since it is already descending and
       its respective height AMSL and distance from the airport are reported on page 18.

1. CONCLUSIONS



An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave
facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that
this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment.
Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations.

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS


A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of
the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective
on a line—of—sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS
TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal
levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case.

The following companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not
meet the objectives on a line—of—sight basis. When over—the—horizon losses are considered
on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful interference from
occurring with the proposed transmit—only earth station.
