  CONCLUSION:
Based on the above analysis it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation will not exist in
regions normally occupied by the public or the earth station’s operating personnel. The earth
station will be marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, on the antenna itself, warning
personnel to avoid the area in front of the reflector when the transmitter is operational. To ensure
compliance with the safety limits, the earth station transmitter will be turned off whenever
maintenance and repair personnel are required to work in an area where the radiation level
exceeds the level recommended by applicable guidelines. Additionally, the earth station is
secured and access is controlled.

                       SUPPORTING CALCULATIONS
                         REF: FCC BULLETIN #65
A. Far Field:
   0.6 D 2 0.6 x(1.2) 2
          =             = 41.14 meters
Rf= λ         .021


      PG        2 x1.710 4*
S=         =                  = 1.61W / m 2
     4πR 2
             4 x3.14(41.14) 2




S=0.161 mW/cm2

B. Near Field

       D2   (1.2) 2
Rn =      =           = 17.14 meters
       4λ (4) x(.021)

S=0.424mW/cm2

C. Transition Region:

Since the transition extends between Rn and Rf the power density can never exceed the
power density in the near field.

     S (nf ) xR(nf )
S=
            R

D. Reflector Surface:

Assuming an even distribution of energy over the surface of the dish:

      P      2 x10 3
S=        =           = .177 mW / cm 2
     πr 2
            π (60)  2

E. Between Antenna and Ground:

Nearest point is more than 1 diameter removed from the center of the main beam.

     S (reflector surface)
S=                         = 0.0017mW / cm 2
              100

F. Between Main Reflector and Feed:

The diameter of the feed aperture is 7.62 cm. The highest density will be at the aperture.

      P    2 x10 3
S=       =           = 43.86 mW / cm 2
     πr 2 π (3.81) 2
