RF Radiation Hazard Analysis PSSI CK30 4.6 Antenna Diameter (D) = 4.6 meters, 460 cm Antenna Surface Area (SA) = 166106 sq cm Sub-reflector Diameter (DS) = 60.96 cm Sub-reflector Surface Area (AS) = 2917.155 sq cm C-Band Wavelength at 6.175 GHz Center Band, LAMBDA = .049 meters, 4.90 cm Power at output at HPA = 750 watts Path Loss to OMT (IL) = 3.15 dB Power at OMT Flange (P) = 349.95 watts Antenna Gain at 6.1750 GHz (G) = 47.5 dBi Antenna Gain given in Power Ratio (GES) = 5.6234E+4 Antenna Aperture Efficiency (N) = .627 or 62.7% Region Radiation Level Hazard Assessment Far Field (RF) = 25,910 cm, 259.10 meters 2.3227 mW/cm² Potential Hazard Near Field (RN) = 10,795 cm, 107.95 meters 16.5912 mW/cm² Potential Hazard Transition Region (RT) ≤ 16.5912 mW/cm² Potential Hazard Sub-Reflector Region (WS) 479.85 mW/cm² Potential Hazard Main Reflector Region (WM) 8.427 mW/cm² Potential Hazard Power Density between Reflector and Ground 2.10679 mW/cm² Potential Hazard Power Density between Reflector Edge and Ground 0.00458 mW/cm² Satisfies ANSI Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, harmful areas of radiation do exist in areas around the antenna and in the path of the antenna toward the satellite that it is pointed. The area occupied by the general public, “uncontrolled environment”, will not exceed the ANSI limit of 1mW/cm² because precautions will be taken to warn, educate and limit the access of personnel around the areas of the antenna and its path that may pose a radiation hazard. The bottom edge of the antenna is 8 feet high when deployed which moves the hazard away from the public. Normal look angles for domestic operation move the potential hazard even further away from the general public. As well during operation no maintenance, operation or public will be able to have access to the area around the sub-reflector region. This area has the greatest concentration of radiation, but fortunately is not accessible during operation due to the operational angle of the antenna and the height above ground level. In addition the antenna will be marked with the standard radiation hazard signs. The warning signs will warn personnel to avoid the area around and in front of the reflector when the transmitter is operational. To ensure compliance with safety limits, the Earth Station transmitters will be turned off and marked to remain off whenever maintenance and repair personnel are required to work in the areas of potential hazard as defined in the above study. Additionally, all Earth Station personnel will be trained to insure that the antenna path is clear at all times while the transmitter is in operation. Note: See the following sheet for how the above calculations were made.
