Antenna RF Radiation Hazard Study for an AVL -12MUSA, Mobile Based Earth Station System For KTVU Partnership, El Paso, Texas A study was performed, analyzing the non-ionizing radiation levels for a 1.2 meter mobile earth station system. The guidelines of the FCC OET Bulletin, No. 65, Edition 97-01 were used for compliance calculations. The Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) guidelines were calculated for both General Population/Uncontrolled and Occupational/Controlled exposure levels. The calculations were performed as follows: Appendix A – Earth Station Criteria Appendix B – Calculations for Antenna RF Radiation Hazard Appendix C – Test for Compliance The applicant is in conformance with the FCC guidelines, with the proposed procedures, as outlined in the OET Bulletin No. 65, Edition 97-01, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields, August 1997. The applicant proposes to maintain compliance with the MPE for Controlled and Uncontrolled areas in the following manner as shown under NOTE. NOTE: The emitting antenna is located on a mobile truck, with the lower edge of the antenna raised 3.5 meters above ground. The general public will not have access within 0.6 meters of the emitting antenna. Since ½ (0.6 meters) is removed from the edge of the antenna, the RF levels are reduced by a factor of 100 or 20 dB. None of the areas exceeding the MPE levels will be accessible by the general public. Radiation Hazard signs will be posted while this earth station is in operation. The applicant will ensure that no buildings or other obstacles are in the path or in the areas that exceed the MPE levels. 6100 IH-35W PO Box 485 * Alvarado, Texas 76009-0485 * (817) 783-5566 * FAX (817) 783-5577 kfox earth station rfr compliance (2).doc
