Calculation of Interference Level into FCC Monitoring Station at Waipahu, Hawaii

The earth station transmit levels will not exceed the maximum allowed field strength at
the Waipahu, Hawaii monitoring station. The monitoring site is 6.7 kilometers from the
earth station at an azimuth of 314.97 degrees. The earth station horizon gain toward
314.97 degrees is –10 dBi. The RF power of the earth station is 5 watts or 7 dBW,
resulting in a maximum EIRP in the direction toward the monitoring station at Waipahu
of –3.0 dBW. The power flux density of the earth station at the monitoring station can be
calculated using the following formula:

Power Flux Density = EIRP – 10*log(4πR2) where

              EIRP = -10.0 dBI + 7 dBW = -3 dBW

              R = distance to the monitoring station = 6700 m

              PFD = -3 – 87.51 = -90.51 dBW/m2

This is well below the maximum level of –65.8 dBW/m2 as specified in §25.203(g). It
should be noted that this calculation does not consider any close-in or path terrain and
above-terrain blockage, which will further reduce the earth station’s power flux density
levels.
