                                     ATTACHMENT A
                      Technical Annex to Supplement Schedule S



A.1      SCOPE AND PURPOSE


This Attachment provides the technical characteristics of the 17/24 GHz Broadcasting-Satellite
Service (“BSS”) payload on the SES-3 satellite. This Canadian payload is referred to as the “Ciel-
6i” satellite herein and in the associated Schedule S form.        This attachment contains the
information required by 47 C.F.R. §25.114 and other sections of the FCC’s Part 25 rules that
cannot be entered into the Schedule S submission. The information contained herein updates the
information provided previously as part of the SES-3 Application filed by SES Americom, Inc.
(“SES Americom”).1 Where information has changed, this is indicated in the text below.


A.2      General Description


The overall description of the SES-3 satellite (including the Ciel-6i payload) in Section 1 of the
Technical Appendix to the SES-3 Application is unchanged. The Ciel-6i payload operates under
the CAN-BSS19 ITU filing with a priority filing date of November 9, 2006 and was brought into
use on September 24, 2012.


As previously indicated in the SES-3 Application, the Ciel-6i payload is capable of operating
anywhere within the 24.75-25.25 GHz and 17.3-17.8 GHz bands, although U.S. market access is
only being requested for the 24.75-25.15 GHz and 17.3-17.7 GHz bands.


The satellite uses a single wide-area beam on both the uplink and downlink. The downlink beam
is capable of providing service to all of North America including Alaska and Hawaii.

      See File Nos. SAT-RPL-20121228-00227 & SAT-AMD-20131113-00132, Technical Annex
      (the “SES-3 Application”).

                                                1


The satellite receives uplink transmissions in left-hand circular polarization (“LHCP”) only and
simultaneously downlinks in both left and right hand circular polarizations (“LHCP and
RHCP”). Consequently, a waiver of §25.210(f) of the FCC’s rules is being requested.


The payload uses a single travelling wave tube amplifier (“TWTA”). The input and output filters
are both 500 MHz wide. The TWTA redundancy information for the Ciel-6i payload in Section
2.2.2 of the Technical Appendix to the SES-3 Application remains unchanged.


A.3    Services to be Provided


DISH intends to use the capacity from the Ciel-6i payload in the U.S. to support DISH’s
terrestrial wireless network.2 Since this is the first generation of service, it will be demonstrated
in different areas of the country to obtain appropriate information in order to expand service
nationwide, then ultimately utilizing Ciel-6i’s replacement payload and additional satellite
capacity.


Updated representative link budgets, which include details of the 17/24 GHz BSS transmission
characteristics, performance objectives and earth station characteristics that DISH intends to use,
are provided in the associated Schedule S submission. The link budgets include aggregate
interference effects from two adjacent satellite networks assumed to be located nominally at
99.235° W.L. and 107° W.L. Worst-case east-west station-keeping between satellites was also
taken into account.




2
 The services to be provided using the Ciel-6i payload were not described as part of the SES-3
Application as FCC operating authority was not being sought for that payload at that time.


                                                 2


A.4      TT&C CHARACTERISTICS


There is no change to the TT&C characteristics described in Section 2.5 of the Technical
Appendix to the SES-3 Application. The Commission has authorized SES Americom to provide
TT&C operations for the SES-3 satellite at 103° W.L.3


A.5      SATELITE TRANSPONDER FREQUENCY RESPONSE


There is no change to the frequency response information provided for the Ciel-6i payload in
Section 2.4 of the Technical Appendix to the SES-3 Application. The frequency tolerances of §
25.202(e) and the out-of-band emission limits of § 25.202(f) (1)-(3) will be met.


A.6      CESSATION OF EMISSIONS


There is no change to Section 6 of the Technical Appendix to the SES-3 Application. The Ciel-
6i payload can be turned on and off by ground telecommand, thereby causing cessation of
emissions from the satellite, as required.


A.7      OFF-AXIS EIRP DENSITY LEVELS

There is no change to the earth station off-axis density information provided in Annex 2 Section
2.1 of the Technical Appendix to the SES-3 Application, with one qualification. The off-axis
EIRP spectral density levels of the earth station antennas transmitting to the Ciel-6i satellite will
not exceed the limits of § 25.223 (i.e., an uplink input power density of -56.5 dBW/Hz). In order
to comply with § 25.262(d)(1), uplink transmissions will be limited to an uplink input power
density of -57.2 dBW/Hz, unless the slightly higher level allowed by § 25.223 can be
coordinated with the existing operator at 99.235° W.L.

                                                 3


A.8      PFD ANALYSIS

The satellite’s maximum downlink EIRP is 33.6 dBW. The downlink beam’s peak occurs at a
distance of 37,247 km from the spacecraft, corresponding to a spreading loss of 162.4 dB. Using a
worst-case assumption that all of the satellite’s EIRP is transmitted in a bandwidth of 1 MHz, the
maximum possible PFD at the Earth’s surface would therefore be: 33.6 - 162.4 = -128.8
dBW/m2/MHz.4 This value is lower than all of the PFD levels of § 25.208(w) and therefore
demonstrates that the satellite’s downlink transmissions comply with § 25.208(w).


A.9      FOUR-DEGREE COMPATIBILITY

This section replaces the four-degree interference analysis in Annex 2 Section 2.1 of the
Technical Appendix to the SES-3 Application to take into account new carrier types that are
more representative of the ones DISH would operate on the Ciel-6i payload and higher expected
PFD levels from adjacent satellites. This section demonstrates that the proposed operations of
the Ciel-6i satellite will continue to be compatible with adjacent 17/24 GHz BSS satellites, both
operational and hypothetical.


To the east of 103° W.L., DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (“DIRECTV”) has Commission
authorization to operate the DIRECTV RB-1 satellite at 99.235° W.L. As stated in DIRECTV’s
modification application for the DIRECTV RB-1 satellite, the satellite transmits with a
maximum PFD level of -120 dBW/m2/MHz.5


To the west of 103° W.L., there is no 17/24 GHz BSS satellite authorized to operate at
107° W.L., and no pending application before the Commission for authorization to use the
107° W.L. orbital slot.




4
      The PFD analysis here differs slightly from the PFD analysis in the SES-3 Application as it is
      based on a different carrier bandwidth.

A.9.1 Interference from the DIRECTV RB-1 Satellite Network


Table A.9-1 shows the representative link budgets for Ciel-6i assuming the adjacent DIRECTV
RB-1 satellite network transmits with an uplink input power density of -56.5 dBW/Hz, the
maximum allowed by §25.223, and with a PFD of -120 dBW/m2/MHz towards the Ciel-6i earth
station.   Worst-case east-west station-keeping was taken into account.                 The link budgets
demonstrate that the proposed services can successfully operate given the assumed interference
environment.

A.9.2 Interference from a Hypothetical Satellite Network at 107° W.L.


Table A.9-2 shows the representative link budgets for Ciel-6i assuming a hypothetical adjacent
satellite network at 107° W.L. transmits with an uplink input power density of -56.5 dBW/Hz,
the maximum allowed by §25.223, and with a PFD of -115 dBW/m2/MHz towards the Ciel-6i
ground station; the maximum PFD allowed by §25.208(w).             Worst-case east-west station-
keeping was taken into account. The link budgets demonstrate that the proposed services can
successfully operate given the assumed interference environment.

A.9.3 Interference from the Ciel-6i Satellite Network into Adjacent Networks


The Commission’s rules contained in §25.223 (uplink transmission levels) and §25.208(w)
(downlink transmission levels) establish the “standard” interference environment for 17/24 GHz
BSS satellite networks that are separated by a nominal four degrees. The DIRECTV RB-1
satellite is authorized to operate slightly “off-grid” from the 99.0° W.L. grid location specified in
Appendix F of the Report and Order adopted May 2, 2007, IB Docket No. 06-123, FCC 07-76.


Section 25.140(b)(5) addresses the situation applicable to an applicant that seeks authorization to
operate a 17/24 GHz BSS satellite that is “on-grid” but is less than four degrees away from a
previously authorized 17/24 GHz BSS satellite that is off-grid. The rule requires the applicant to
demonstrate that its proposed operations will not cause more interference to the off-grid satellite
than if the two networks were separated by exactly four degrees.


The DIRECTV RB-1 satellite is slightly offset from a grid location by 0.235 degrees. Therefore,
the corresponding reductions in both uplink and downlink power levels, relative to the allowable
power levels of §25.223 and §25.208(w), and reductions that fully protect the DIRECTV RB-1
satellite network can be calculated as: 25*log(4/(4-0.235)) = 0.7 dB (“reduction factor”).


As stated in section A.7 above, DISH will not transmit with an uplink input power density of
greater than -57.2 dBW/Hz (i.e., 0.7 dB lower than the maximum allowed by §25.223), unless
the slightly higher level allowed by §25.223 can be coordinated with the existing operator at
99.235° W.L.


As demonstrated in section A.8 above, the maximum PFD on the Earth’s surface in a 1 MHz
bandwidth is -128.8 dBW/m2/MHz. This level is 7.8 dB below the lowest level of §25.208(w), a
difference that is much greater than the required 0.7 dB reduction factor calculated above.


The preceding demonstrates that Ciel-6i will not cause more interference to the off-grid
DIRECTV RB-1 satellite network than if the two networks were separated by exactly four
degrees. By extension, and due to the slightly larger orbital separation, it also demonstrates that
                                                 7


the Ciel-6i satellite network is compatible with any future 17/24 GHz BSS satellite authorized at
the on-grid location of 107° W.L.


A.10      INTERFERENCE ANALYSIS WITH DIRECTV RB-2 AT 102.75° W.L.


The DIRECTV RB-2 satellite is planned to be operated at the 102.75° W.L. orbital location
under a U.S. ITU satellite network filing that is lower in ITU date priority than the Canadian
CAN-BSS19 filing under which the Ciel-6i payload will operate. Coordination of the RB-2
satellite with Ciel-6i is not complete. Accordingly, the RB-2 satellite is not entitled to protection
from interference from the Ciel-6i satellite, nor can it cause harmful interference to Ciel-6i, until
coordination is complete.


As DISH has previously demonstrated, the operation of the RB-2 satellite will cause harmful
interference into DISH’s proposed operations with Ciel-6i.6 This is amply demonstrated in Table
A.10.1 below for a representative 36 MHz carrier.         The table demonstrates that the link’s
required C/(N+I) level is not met, and by a substantial deficit of 17.6 dB, when accounting for
the additional interference that would be caused by the operations of the RB-2 satellite.

A.11   ORBITAL DEBRIS MITIGATION PLAN


A complete orbital debris mitigation plan was submitted with the SES-3 Application and is
incorporated by reference herein without change.7


A.12   SATELLITE TRANSMIT OFF-AXIS GAIN AND PFD ANALYSIS

This section replaces Annex 2 Section 2.2 of the Technical Appendix to the SES-3 Application.
The predicted gain data shown below differs from the SES-3 application. The predicted gain
used in the SES-3 Application used an incorrect phi value, while this data uses the correct phi
value which aligns with the equatorial (X-Z) plane.


Section 25.264 of the Commission’s rules was adopted to mitigate potential space-path
interference between 17/24 GHz BSS satellites and 12/17 GHz BSS satellites. That is, there is a
potential for space path (i.e., satellite-to-satellite) interference between a 17/24 GHz BSS
satellite transmitting in the 17 GHz band and a nearby 12/17 GHz BSS satellite receiving in the
17 GHz band.


Tables A.12-1 through A.12-4 provide the predicted transmit off-axis gain of the 17 GHz
antenna as required by § 25.264(a). In partial response to the requirements of § 25.264(c),
Tables A.12-5 and A.12-6 provide the measured transmit off-axis gain of the 17 GHz antenna,
but only over a limited range of angles, in the non-rotated X-Z plane, and in one polarization
(RHCP).    Accordingly, DISH seeks a waiver of § 25.264(c) and, to the extent required,
§ 25.264(d).


Because the FCC had not yet released the space path interference rules when the Ciel-6i payload
was being constructed, only partial measurements were made on the 17 GHz antenna. The only
available measurements are provided in Tables A.12-5 and A.12-6. In further support of the
waiver request, DISH notes that the nearest Commission-licensed 12/17 GHz BSS satellite is
located at 101.2° W.L., or nominally 1.8 degrees away from the 103° W.L. location.

    See SES-3 Application, Technical Appendix, Section 9 at 17-19.

                                               10


Section 25.264 was developed for situations where a 17/24 GHz BSS satellite would be in close
proximity (e.g., less than 0.5 degrees) from a 12/17 GHz BSS satellite, which is not the case for
Ciel-6i. Worst-case PFD calculations demonstrate this point.


The highest off-axis gain level between both the predicted and measured levels is -22.5 dBi. The
nearest 12/17 GHz BSS satellite is nominally located 1.8 degrees away. Accounting for worst-
case east-west station-keeping, the spreading loss between the two satellite locations can be
calculated to be 132.94 dB. Assuming all of the 12/17 GHz BSS satellite’s power were to be put
into a 100 kHz bandwidth, which will not be the case, the resulting PFD at the nominal
101.2° W.L. location can be calculated to be -145.1 dBW/m2/100 kHz; a level far lower than the
-117 dBW/m2/100 kHz PFD coordination threshold level. Using the worst-case assumption that
all the power will be in the 100 kHz reference bandwidth, one can show that the PFD threshold
level would not be exceeded even for a much smaller orbital separation of 0.1 degree. The
preceding demonstrates that there is no potential interference issue with respect to any U.S.-
licensed 12/17 GHz BSS satellite from the Ciel-6i satellite.


In addition, Ciel-6i is operated at 103° W.L. with a maximum orbital eccentricity of less than 4.7
× 10-4.
